20-30 is fast! I'm 1 down 10 up and have no problem keeping them under 10 mph. Could do it with less drastic gearing no prob though.

I haven't even hooked up my speedo since I got my sprockets. It would be so far off it would be funny!
I'll try and get a pic of my sprocket sometime. It looks so bling bling when the light shines off it []

]I know that this is a newbie question PimP, but when you say one down, 10 up, do you mean your front sprocket is a tooth smaller, and your back sprocket is 10 bigger?

]It's called a yellow box. Eltorito mentioned it in another thread.

Damn man, your bike is definitely not set up for high speed highway getaways then, huh?
The guy I bought my bike from told me that he put a one tooth smaller sprocket on the front, and the back is a 42 tooth (of course, I can see the back one, not the front). I have topped my bike out at redline in sixth gear at about 142mph indicated. Also, when we go on rides through fast twisties, I can leave my bike in fifth gear, and still power out of corners hard enough to keep up. To me, this seems weird. I am always looking for seventh gear on my bike.
I'm considering going back to stock sprockets since my chain is almost at the end of its life. On the other hand, I don't want to not be able to do wheelies anymore. What do you think PimP?
Right now, 1st gear is good for about 30-35mph, and that's it, so when I wheelie, it is usuall at incredibly slow speed. A friend of mine has a CBR600 and he claims that his first gear is good for about 60mph! Don't know what size his front sprocket is, but the back one is 46 tooth. How can this be? I want to wheelie at 60mph too!

]I've tried to wheelie on the highway in fourth. Even tried clutching it, and still no luck, and yes, I was standing up and pulling on the bars. Believe me, if I could figure out a way to get the front end up in third without destroying my clutch, I wouldn't be on here bitching
What's the best/easiest way in your opinion to get a wheelie, with my set up, in third? If I figure it out with your help, you just won yourself a case of Budweiser!

I can clutch mine up in third, Just throttle the Shit out of it and pull it will come up eventully.

I think the problem is that there really isn't anywhere to practice doing wheelies, and even if I ride all day long, I might only wheelie three or four times. If more people around here rode sportbikes and were into doing stunts, I would definitely be a happier person
I want to get good at stoppies, but don't really want to practice doing them at stoplights and such. I could always find a parking lot, but that would heighten the chances of me getting a ticket. (sigh)
Oh well, if all goes well over the next few years, I'll be making enough money to keep my ninja and buy a 'busa to do wheelies on!
Hahaha. That was a good one.
By the way BTB, I don't have an '03, I ride a '96.
