F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
Okay guys I know that everyone is going to have a different answer to this question depending on the style of riding they do and where they ride if its mainly street with occasional highway or just parking lots. 1. What gears are on your F4i front and rear?
2. What does that gearing best serve for? Streets? Occasional highway? Parking lots? Ect..
3. How fast would you say you can comfortable ride on highways if you had to ride on the highway?
4. Why have you chosen the sizes for the gears you currently have on your bike? Better engine brake? Slower wheelies? Easier to pull off tricks? To look like you know what your doing LOL? Tell me what reason you had to going to your current sprocket sizes.
Okay I’ll go first
1. -1 +5
2. Gearing serves good for streets and highway travel I think parking lots I should go bigger!
3. 75mph on highway no problem!
4. I am running my current sizes because it’s my only bike now and I wanted gears that are a little more manageable on streets an occasional highway commuting but now I am like the hell with it I am going to go BIG for mastering my parking lot skills.

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
-1 +10 15/56 its perfect for all stunts and it is ok to ride streets/highways ocassionally. It will alow u to ride comfortably up to about 60-65 mph. anything faster it gets alot of vibration and gets irittating after a little bit. I thikn its a perfect set up.

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
im down one and up 3..so im sitting at -1,, +3... I used that 56 tooth rear from the thrust company but i didnt like it.. Always revving.. I like the speed that more stock carrys you at when your running on idle.. You dont have as much engine braking which sucks.. I think if you can rock it on more stock gearing then do it.. Anyone can slow wheelie with a 60 tooth rear...

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
1. Stock
2. Good for everythign except circles.
3. 160 indicated
4. My last bike had big gears and I was tired of it.
I have a 65 tooth waiting to go on as soon as the weather stops being nice.

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
If you can't throttle wheelie from 5mph on up ( in 2nd gear) you need more gearing! lol j/k
I was just rocking -1 + 5 .. just installed my -2 + 10... I think i'll like it. Just put it on and going riding in a bit. I think 14/56 is pretty much standard gearing.

Re: F4i owners what sprocket sizes are you running?
i have -2, + 18 or 14, 64
this gearing pretty much sucks for anything over 10mph
rear brake not really needed in first gear
and the bike could also be used for towing purposes

-2, and a 60t on the rear, just ordered, was rocking just -2.. but its going to be parking lot only soon. -2 is good for streets and some idle tricks once ya get used to it.

Stock Front, +10 rear. PEFECT for Lots and Regularl Highway Use. It does get alot of vibration, but thats mostly from not running a balanced tire.. Comfortable commute @ 80mph though. Works perfect for the lot, The gearing is enough for just about any trick, but does require a bit of clutch slippage on some circles.
