Plan on changing the chain and sprockets but not sure if i should go -1 or -1+2. Kinda new with bikes. Not sure what i should do and how much of a difference there is between the two. Idk just looking for some opinions and what not.

Ive been looking at the driven kits on superbikesstore.net Anyone anything?

i put just the sprocket upfront and wow it feels so much diff now and only being 170pds,

Some think -1/+2 is excessive for the street. -1 is a common choice. A few people run -1/-1. If you HAVE to mess with the rear one I would do this (-1 in back) unless you're planning on doing a lot of track and the circuit(s) you ride call for gearing that low (even though -2 isn't THAT low...)

If you're just starting out and want an affordable mod you can install yourself, just do the -1/0. Hope that helps.

-1 Only...

i put just the sprocket upfront and wow it feels so much diff now and only being 170pds,

+1 Exact same situation here (even the weight). Did the -1 front yesterday and cannot even describe to you how much more responsive it is in the low range...I personally think adding teeth in the back would be a bit excessive. I couldn't imagine needing that kind of accelleration for the street IMO. But yeah definitely do the -1 front, it will be a well spent $35. GL

Well idk if it makes a difference but i weigh 225. And i do ride just on the street no trak or anything like that. Like i said kinda new with bikes. So all i need is the front sproket? or will i need a new chain too? the bikes completely stock. And thank you all very much been very helpful!

 

[Dageorge]

-1 you can use the stock chain, yes

 

[WMD07zixxer]

all i can find is 520 sprockets, is that what the stpck chain is cause i thought it was a 525...?

 

[Dageorge]

No it's already a 520

 

[WMD07zixxer]

Well thanks alot for all the help. Any opinions on the brands?

Agreed, I was happily surprised with what just -1 front did.

I was planning on -1/+2 and just did the front first to see if it was enough, and now I do not think I will be going +2 later anymore.

I'm putting -1/+2 later tonight. We'll see if it's too excessive.

 

[univox]

You can do -1/+2 and the total ratio for 1st gear is still slightly taller than a stock 636, so I don't understand how it could be too excessive. :dunno:

i run -2 on front...standard rear...makes huge difference...just remember that your speedo will be out....

 

[Dageorge]

No big. Solomotoparts has the Speedohealer for $109. Gotta pay to play.

I was wondering what -2 would feel like. Was it a pretty huge difference when you first rode with the -2?

 

[WMD07zixxer]

Ordered the -1 today should be installed this weekend. Pramslam Let me know how the +2 is.

 

[synolimit]

i went -1 front and what a difference!! for the street alittle and then the track, needed more for the track out of corners ect. so went +1 rear and might go +2 rear if need be
