makes a big diff...if its too much then go up one tooth at the rear
one of the front is the same in most cases as 2.5 added to the rear

if its too much, and 1 of the front is same as 2.5 up on rear, then you would be better to go down 1 on the rear, to soften it a bit! if you went up another on rear as phantom says then it would be like going down half a tooth or so lol on front, would make it worse again.

it only cost £16 so if its too much ill just stick her back to standard lol cheers guys.
sorry for hijacking your thread rocket lol

meant to say one off the rear.was a typo...would be totally contradicting the second line I wrote if I meant that lol.
thats what I done with the blade, one off front an rear then used a gearing calculator like
this one I uploaded to see what speed loss there is http://www.mediafire.com/file/dv5mnky0xhs/CBR1000RR_Gearing.xls

Yeah one off the rear would tame it down again a fraction. just look at the stunt boys big giant sprocket for the low grunt wheelies

Haha, got my new sprocket on today, went to go a test drive, and guess what lmao. Yeah you guessed it, battery dead, tried bumping her but just gona have to wait till the morning till the battery is charged

doh

def the time of year for the trickle chargers and putting batteries in the airing cupboard

Aye, i never had this problem last year cos' i rode it most of the year, but got her going just before coming to work, and took it a blast up the beltoy road, definately feels a touch sharper but not too sharp. I changed the rear aswell as i had 1 sitting there. Ordered white dials yesterday too

Good job wes, I had some bad luck doing mine last night one of my chain adjusters snapped off and has left the stud inside the swingarm so my bike diff of the road until this is fixed

that happened to me when i 1st got my bike, then i went on holiday with my wife and left the bike with a turner out of work to sort it out, came back to find he broke tap in the swingarm. ended up i bought a 2nd hand swingarm cheap enough and got the bearings done and had it sprayed black and replaced. it was a pain in the arse to come back to after being stuck in cyprus with the ash cloud

did you get the glowing gauges?
I put them on a gixer...were well trick looking

Yeah got the gauges, and have red led lights in behind them and painted the needles red too, put it all back together, but forgot to check the dials were back to zero, the rev counter isnt lol so have to strip her down again lol. Ill try get a couple of pics 2nite or 2moro
