I have a 02 f4i red/black and I am hearing people talking about changing their gearing or sprockets to -1/+3, now am I looking for a sprocket or a gear, im confused here and how will this effect my bikes performance? Also I hear about tire pressure for wheelies, what should my front and back be in psi? damn sorry for all the questions lol thanks...

KC Tony

Changing your gearing will improve your low end and make it easier to wheelie. The lower tire pressure will help the tire hook up better and will make it a little more stable in a wheelie

vinnycuz

thanks KC but can u give me the pressure that will be good in my tires, and when people say -1/+3 thats only 1 less tooth in the front and 3 more for the rear?

KC Tony

Pressure depends on what you are gonna do with the bike. If its just a parkin lot bike you can run pressure down into the single digits, if you ride it everyday I would say 18-20. And yes they are referind to one less in front and three more in the rear

vinnycuz

thanks bro will do, ill do 18 in the front and 23ish in the rear cuz i still like to haul *** and ride the hotties ya know ... :-D

EDIT: i take to long to answer
is this the same vinnycuz that did the create your own webjal server???

KC Tony

I wouldnt go any less than 20 for the front, I run 25 in the front and 18 in the rear and it works well for day to day ridin

You may want to run a little more in the front (25psi is good for stoppies) You can dent your front rim if you come down hard from a wheelie if the pressure is too low.

vinnycuz

lol yeah bro how u know...im famous cuz of that everywhere now hahaha u usin it?

vinnycuz

Thanks KC ill run that and try it out, damn honda book is like 30 i nthe front and like 40 in the rear im like wtf imma bust my *** lol

paragus

hell yea im usin it..

and to keep it on topic: im runnin 25psi in the front.. its nice for stoppies

vinnycuz

I'm runnin' 28 in the front and 18 in the rear. Works great for slow stuff and everyday riding but I wouldn't run in the canyons like that.

vinnycuz

canyons?

i ride in NYC so we got bumps and all types of **** to **** u up lol, so imma ride 25 in the front and 20 in the rear and give or take some psi depending on how it feels...

KC Tony

That would be a good starting place

i am running -2 front w/ stock chain right now on my f4i ...... im lovin it.
and 25 both front and back

vinnycuz

-2 just in the front is good for wheelies and stunts what about the back?

a56kuser

my back is stock now but i plan to buy a +8 w/ 520 chain for the back and buy a stock size front sprocket for 520 when i get the money....... i was poor so thats all i could buy for now but im lovin the -2 w/ 525 chain. just to give u a idea u can power 2nd gear sitdowns on these sprockets..... for some reason it just seemed more torque than my gsxr setup which was -1 +3 520 chain.

vinnycuz

how do sprocket changings effect speed, see i want to perfect all kinds of wheelies but i also want my bike to have the ***** it does not, since i am only 5'7 @ 165lbs (getting bigger tho) i can haul ***...i still want the wheelies but i still want the speed would that be possible with a set up like this -1/+3?
