Re: +10 sprocket
easiest way to slow it down ive found out is to clutch it at a dead stop or near a dead stop..that way even if your not balanced you can still get a feel for going slow on one wheel for a short time..

Re: +10 sprocket
it'll make it jump up quicker,and will be slower per rpm than stock gearing,it will make you go slower at those rpms but wont help you keep it slow,master 1st gear then go for some gearing..

Re: +10 sprocket
bigger sprockets make the bike come up eaiser at lower rpms and adds a lot of engine braking which is good for saving your ***,but a geared bikes 2nd gear feels basicly like a stock geared 1st..and first even lower...your best bet is learning good throttle control in first gear...even if your going fast learn to keep it at the BP and be smooth then try clutching from a slower speed once you know where behind and at the balance point is...

Re: +10 sprocket
I thought a big sprocket would help me slow down too but it only changes the way the bike behaves. I can do the same on both my 1000s one stock, one with -1,+9. The only advantage I see to having a sprocket is it helps the motor keep the bike moving when your going real slow all the way back, past the balance point. Its like having low range in 4x4s, lets you go real slow with out killing it. Until I wrecked I was starting to go slow on my stock bike but not like my geared bike. good luck!

Re: +10 sprocket
heres my last words of advice...take your time know your skill level and dont try to exceed it too quickly,it will only make you wreck..learn the BP in first gear then look into gearing,i thought gearing mine would make me rock it only made me have to relearn my gears...just do what makes you feel comfortable and always cover your rear brake..

in slow stuff...idle speed stuff no theres not really any engine braking,but he hasnt gotten there yet,im just telling him sprockets do add engine brake,and before he learns slow he has to learn fast which involves good throttle and brake control.
