I think that the rear wheel should be O'k, according to the threads i read.

Original "GSXR" chain is 525 - I consider to change 525 chain and 15/45 sprockets with 520 chain and 14/47 sprockets.

14/47 will be very low. I had 15/47 and it was fun but a little revvy on the motorway.

O'k, let it be 15/47.

In Bulgaria we have only two motorways and the condition is..... I would better say we don't have motorways

Depends what your cruising speed is really. for me cruising on my private motorway is 80mph or more.

Have a look on gearing commander to see what effect will be.

13-11-09, 01:57 PM

Yes, mine is around 80mph (120-130kmh) too.
I already look for difference with +2 teeth on rear sprocket and think tath will be satisfying for me - I mostly ride in the city and to NONmotorway roads in weekends

A few hours ago i gave the "GSXR" wheels for repair and tomorrow will take them to the paint shop

By now I'm the proud owner of "Valter Moto" rearsets and "Gubellini" rear shock spring.

I still didn't receive the spring and there are few marks on the rearsets, plus the color didn't match exactly with "black-gold" theme on the bike, but for free it's just fine

What rate is shock spring compared to stock for that shock, and are you doing anything about the damping of shock?

14-11-09, 10:31 PM

I don't know the spring rate at this moment. Part number is on the back position of the shock/spring and must part out the bike to see it. The bike is "CBR 900 RR" 1998 and i bought the all bike crashed for £100

Tomorrow morning will parting out the rest of the bike and see what's the spring rate (keep it or sell it).

Sorry, but I can't understand "damping of shock"

yorkie_chris · 14-11-09, 10:56 PM

Damping is the amount of resistance to movement caused by oil inside shock.

Stronger spring needs more resistance when the shock is extending (rebound damping)

15-11-09, 07:41 PM

Yes, I know that, but can't understand the question.... what I must do with the shock damping? New oil?

I can't find the "Gubellini" spring rate - no Google, no official site, no nothing...

Here is the part number on it YM140167560.
