Ok i said i wanted to learn on stock gears but i was wondering if it was worth mayb dropping 1 in the front for now and move on from there??? Its a learning point obviously and it comes down to timing and technique obviously, but would like it to be a little easier while im still learning. Tell me what ya think, yeh, or ney. Who to talk to about getting sprocket/chain and any other advice you might want to pass onto a newbie wanna be stunter

wat kinda bike

the only reason not to gear is gearing makes the throttle harder to control which is a ***** when trying to learn to wheelie. If you race or have throttle control down gear it. It's alot easier on your clutch with gears.

I ride a 98 gsxr 600 with a bit of a carb problem. Got my wheelies down pretty well and my throttle control gets etter everytime i go out. I can float in and out of BP but can't hold it there constantly. Was thinking of maybe going up 4 or so in the rear so i could start learning other things like spreaders and HC's and stuff?

go -1 plus 5. and go for it or maybe just +5

Phil @ moto-heaven is a good place to get your sprockets and chains!!!

As i said im running stock gears, but i was thinking of going +4 in the rear for now. 16/50 with 525

Yeah dude either +4 or -1 would be good to give you that extra punch. -1 and +4 are pretty much the same thing, 4 on the back is worth like 1 on the front if I remember right. So either one will do. My '99 GSXR750 is just +2 on the back, not much, but it does help, it's good for me too seeing as I'm pretty new to the game. But yeah, if I were you I'd prolly go -1 just because it's cheaper.

Peace

-1 down in front equals 2.5-3 up in the rear, and -1 can be cheaper but it's not good for the engine...especialy if you go -2 or more down on front...and when your engine goes to **** you'll see it wasn't cheaper...

grandmasterb

Well i think i will go +4 or 5 in the rear for now. Now to my next question, is there a prefered brand/dealer for sprockets and can i get them into Australia?

grandmasterb

ANYONE???

^^^^^^^^^^^ hmm maybe you should try this guy thats where 90% of the people get em from

except my dumb *** i orderd from sprocket specialist...still waitin on mine and it's been 6 weeks

Kelly.

i 2nd the motoheaven thing.
call him and talk to him, im sure he can hook you up.


YZFstunter4life--
i would call SS and cancel your order, then call phil and order from him, you will have them ina week.

YZFstunter4life

it is supposed to be in this week...they said it was gonna take about 4-6 weeks when i ordered it ...should have said nm and called phil....i'll just keep that in mind next time

see I started with stock gearing to learn my wheelies. after I got them down tight I went -1 & +7 on a 03 R-6 to start 2nd and 3rd gear spreader and hc. It alot more fun

fab5fiddy

care to elaborate on this theory? what exactly does a -2 do to the engine that makes it bad?

socalgixxer

I have a 98 gixxer 750. Started wheelies with stock sprocket. Then went up +2 in the rear with a new AFAM sprocket. For a while I was cool with my clutch lever needing almost two hands to operate. Got used to it from all the chicken chokin. Now I havent been riding as much and I cant stand it. Is there a easy way to adjust the tension for the lever or does the cable need to be replaced?

P.S. This is one of the best webs Ive been on. Keep up with the info!

lky

i got my stuff from phil at motoheaven he was helpfull, still waiting for my stuff but only cause they where getting my cage and bar powder coated so there was a delay,
if it wasnt for that i would have had my stuff in 2 weeks not 6..

GixxStunna

I went -2 +4 and hate it on my gixxsix but my altitude kills it also. I have a +4 SS sprocket if you want to buy it? has maybe 10 actual miles on it.

Sounds ok, i sent ya a PM
