+10 sprocket
I calculated my top speed would be around 145 with a 10 up sprocket. If my bike lifts the tire in first a little at 7k full throttle, what should I expect as far as first gear and second gear once it has the +10?
Will a 120 link chain be enough? Will it eat the chain guards up even if I keep the front stock?

120 link is more than enough, I went +12 on my f3 and I had to cut some links off.

i went 10 up on my 900rr, it was 111 links. that gave me some room to play with chain tension too. with 10 up i could throttle up in 3rd with no clutch or bounce.....i wouldnt go nailing it in 1st with 10 up....

Re: +10 sprocket
yeah man, when i went -5 +72 on my GSX-R 1000 turbo I could fly in first gear. The Airpost picked me up on radar, and they made me get a pilot's license. It's all god though, cause once i take off in 1st I can shift to 6th and get to top speed while in flight, cops could never catch me.

I still gotta decide what gearing i wanna go with next summer, im thinkin somethin like -1 (already down) +10 myself. Anyone know what a F2 will top out at with -1 +10. Ive had the bike up to about 135, Squidmark said he hit 140 somethin on his.

Re: +10 sprocket
I want the option of being able to do slower stuff in first with a lot of engine brake, and faster in second with the same engine brake my first gear has now.
