Re: Newbie here
'Sup! What sort of modifications are you looking to do? I saw a yamaha R1 on sunday coming out of boxhill (popular biker meet in the south-east of england) with the widest rear wheel I've ever seen fitted to any bike, musta been a 250-section rear tyre!

Re: Newbie here
well so far, i thought if intake filter, velocity stacks, full exhaust system and a custom tune. I know I can change the the tooth ratio on the sprockets and such but id have to look around to see the idea teeth front to rear would be best for me. My friend told me a little about it on his bike bit its a CBR so im sure its completely different. Not really looking to dive into the motor at this point. Ill save that for my car

Re: Newbie here
Welcome! Working out what sprockets you need is easy. To start with just get a front sprocket with 1 less tooth that you currently have. That will lower top end but improve acceleration. If you want to further enhance this effect add 1-2 teeth on the rear sprocket as well.

Re: Newbie here
sweet sounds easy enough. Would I need a new chain for the change in the front? Or just when i change both the front and the rear?
