Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
stock front, +11 rear (57 tooth)... I was 12'ing and going slow with stock gearing for a few weeks already, but wanted to slow it down a lot more so I figured it would help...
Highway, 6th gear, 6000rpm = approx 120km/h. If this was my only bike I'd go back closer to stock, but I have another canyon carver so it's ok for now.
Once I learn circles (when I get home I will really practice this time) then I will be going to a smaller sprocket (like stock front and +5 rear) cuz I wanna make the bike a track bike as well

-1 (15 front) / +25 (71 rear) = a bit too much gearing on my F4i, but I suck, so it's ok. Parkin lots and short streets only -- top speed is probably about 60 mph.
Too much gearing will definitely force you to learn throttle control, but sucks when you're learning brake control. With that much engine brake, I never need the rear brake.

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running? personally I think that -2/58 is really nice gearing that is the gearing that I want but another local rider runs 15/58 and rides it on the streets and stunts it fine.
