Downgear your bike now 111!!11!11!!!!!!11

[numark1]

It rules.

Took 2 teeth off the front (only cost £10 with next day delivery with wemoto)

I only had a quick drive down my road because im not insured yet and had no helmet on (i live in a quiet area safety nazis)

Saw an areal atom or what ever its called when i was putting the sprocket on. Looked uber cool Was slightly green the guy was wearing shorts and t-shirt you could see his whole body, was very strange and he was wearing a stig helmet with a black visor. I think he lives on my estate so gonna go looking for it sometime.

Anyway i put the sprocket on and accelerated a bit and it took me by supprise, no joke the front started to feel really light at about 6,000 revs and came up alot easier than i expected. Second gear felt like first. As it was quite a small road and i have no helmet i didn't do anything really silly so called it a night.

Anyway downgear your bike, acceleration is crazy.

[fast_tzr]

Would do, however I feel downgearing my bike would be an unwise decision as it would reduce my already pitiful top speed of around 55mph to about 40mph and change my gearchange times from every second to every milisecond

[greenmeanie]

nice one, i am gunna do mine as soon as i get a new chain n sprocket set. how much will it effect top end tho? apparently jimmy fireblade uses downgeared bandit 6's for his wheely school which could be fun

According to kickstart 3 teeth off the front on a 150mph bike would bring it down to 119.

My bike would probably top out at about 135 with -2. I would rather the insane acceleration as i would use it more. If i need more than 135 i can always put the original sprocket back on.

Any decent pics of her ?

No pics yet mcgee, i have put a load of gold parts on and need to cut the mudguard off and stick the 8x2 on.

Bonny if you add more to the front or less off the back it increases top speed.

Less off the front or more on the back increases acceleration.

-1 on the front is the equilivent of 3 on the back so i have basically done -1 -3.

[numark1]

Also the zzr has a front wheel speedo drive, if you have a sprocket speedo drive then it will give out the wrong reading.

[numark1]

Yeh me too, Powering it up in first from 6,000 revs is cool.

I want to learn to hold the balance point and change gears properly when i get riding again. I couldn't get the knack of changing in the air, it would just drop.

I'd like to, but doing it on a shatdrive would be a bit of a sodbuckett.. (the only real dissadvantage other than weight)

Cool, just be careful as the speedo will be wrong IIRC.

Usefulness depends on what your gonna use the bike for. Fuel economy suffers and top speed is reduced but i downgeared my nc35 by one off the front and i much prefer it. Easier overtakes and faster acceleration from lower in the rev range, no where in croydon i can go over a ton anyway!

I was umming and arrrring about it, but it'd probably kill me, got enough acceleration for the time being

I changed the gearing on my yzf750 a few years ago, I loved the extra acceleration, but I had to relearn all my favourite corners as I found I was running out of revs all the time when exiting. Motorways felt wrong as the bike wasn't really comfy at 70mph, it was just into the power and surge forward with small throttle movement, then there was the fuel consumption.....My g/f hated it as it tended to wheelie easily with her on the back, specially going up hills.

+1 on front cbr125........still slow but sits at 70 all day long now

-1 on the front of my ZZR600. Noticeable improvement on lower rev pick up, top speed reduced from 155 (indicated) to 145 (indicated)
