Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
well if u already got a 60t .... run it ! i am rather cheap .... ie i will run what i got till its dead then replace with the best i can afford. u dont see the point in wasting a dick load of money so i can say i got the best crap on my bike . hell i was running a 900rr master with a ft adapter for years as my h/b .....
the 60t will be more twitchy , but in turn u will be forced to learn throttle control . plus its easier on the clutch . its all personal preference my man

why not , your numerous years at riding and bike building makes you think differently . stock sprockets are for people who need excuses . do you wanna stunt or ride a 100ft. wheelie out the next time you leave bike nite. if you wanna blaze across the lot at 40mph and convince yourself you have bp. go ahead . yeah you are going to drop the bike , yeah you are going to break stuff. i rode your bike leave it alone , its smooth there is nothing twitchy about it

do what makes you happy rah. what works for one person may not work for another. if you want to try a smaller sprocket. i say go for it. besides, its not a huge hunk of change and easily changed when you want to go back to 60. only you will know what works for you.

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
the big gearing debate , big gearing means you are actually going slower so dropping bike will result in less damage .stock gearing equels alot of squids flying around at mach 1 at the spot trying to learn bp ,throttle and brake control, learning with stock gearing just covers bad habits of throttle chopping and lack of confidence. put a 60 and grow some ***** nothing you can learn with stock gearing is going to help , it is just how everyone learned who didnt know any better. if you can rock stunt gearing street gearing should be no problem , but it doesnt work the other way around.
Throttle control has 2 components. Being steady and knowing when to use it.
Stock masks being steady.
Big gearing masks knowing when to use it.
Edit: And yea, if your bike has a 60 on it run with it. But Toneth needs to quit spending time and money changing **** up and just ride.
