Re: finally got my new sprockets
Quick question, on all my bikes so far I've just done the generic -1 +3, I just picked up a 636 though and I love the look of a big *** rear sproket. I know the -1 +3 is like +6, but what is the point of going down in the front. I was thinkin' of just goin' like +6 in the back, is there any reason I shouldn't?

The difference is that going down in front increses torque. This can be good or bad. I started with -2 +18 on my 750, but soon after changed to -1 and it was less twitchy and smoother/easier to control.
I only reccommend going down in the front if you are using a smaller cc bike and need to compensate.
Otherwise, down in front adds torque and up in rear slows down tire rotation and powerband speeds.

So what would you guys reccomned for a 636...I'm not too into slow stuff, but I want to be able to bring it up in third easily, and make it a little easier in second...I mean don't get me wrong, I can clutch it up fine in second with the stock gearing, I just want more room to play...
