Re: gearing Question

Re: gearing Question

aluminum works just fine, they may not last as long, but so what...you'll easily get a season out of it...as for strength: do you think racers are using stell sprockets? nope, aluminum, so strength is not really a factor...

who are the parts' guys at your dealership? sounds like you need some new ones!!! lol jk

sprocket specialists has EVERYTHING you need, they will custom make sprockets too.

Re: gearing Question

hey i have a gearing question. I'd post my own thread but my account doesn't have the privledged to do so i guess... anyway im riding a stock 97 ZX 600R (not a ZX6R). and im having trouble getting it to wheelie. maybe i just need to grow a sack but im telling ya its not being very cooperative. i was thinking about dropping the front down one from stock and upping the back by 8 teeth. my only concern is that i still want my bike to be able to do like at the very least 110 mph. do you think that it will take that much off my top end if i gear it to -1, +8 ?

Re: gearing Question

is it worth just going up 2 teeth in the rear, can you tell the difference from the stock?
