Re: whats a good sprocket ratio for me!?!?!?

most of my experience is with the yamaha r1 and r6 but a lot of my friends run 929's and 954's. i've seen people go as drastic as -3 front and +20 in the back. but it takes a lot of getting used to with all that torque.

Don't...Learn to rock it stock before you go throwing gear on it. That bike is already a handful to learn on.

like CBR said ....learn your bike first ....alot of newer riders think if they put a huge gear on their bikes it will help them ...it dont ...!!!!!! they skip the whole step of gettin to know their bike

Re: whats a good sprocket ratio for me!?!?!?

i went 26 up on a 600 and it was cool- you use 1st to just get comfy with altitude and have mega engine brake to save your ***

then you use 2nd which is more realistic..




I just got this 929, i havenet even had a chance to wheelie it.. any advice on this big bitch
