gearing on 03 F4i / advice needed

well i need to get a new chain, since the POS one i have on there now is not an O-ring chain. I can lube it up and in 5 mins, it's noisy as hell again ..

anyway,as i do that, I was thinking of changing gearing. I would like a little lower gearing so I would be able to learn to stunt a bit better without the stock crap, but I still use the bike to commute to work and stuff with ( Highway driving also)

so is there any certain gearing you guys/gals would reccommend? My buddy went up 14 in the back, but his sounds like it's gonna blow up on the expressway... need some advice

one more thing- is it very highly recommend to have a steering stabilizer on before trying endos and such?

TIA

Jeremy

i have -1 +10 on my f4i and i can ride the highways with it. around like 70+ it starts revving real high and the vibratio0n gets annoying but it does good other than that. It's perfect gearing for stunts too. The whole damper thing id reccomend because once u start getting good at them u get hooked and without a streering stabilizer things can get ugly realll quick
