Sprocket the rocket

VFR_KID · 4 Sep 2010 at 10:14

Hey folks.

Had a new chain and sproket put on erlier this year. but just standard set up.

Was considering going down one tooth at front. would this make a huge difference.

Options I have considered. Drop one tooth front or two at front.

Opinions please.

Oh its a 86 VFR750 so never going to be a rocket ship anyway just want to see what its like

Its not ideal going -2 on the front but it all depends how big your front is to begin with (not for a lot of road use anyway), but the most common for noticable is either +2 at the rear or still +2 at the rear and -1 at the front, I would try +2 at the rear to start as its so much easier to do and you dont have to crack off the front sprocket nut and replace the locking washer thingy

Ah there is a point. Cheers. Will go look at what is available for it. Need to replace rear brake switch to. :9 no brake lights when I use back brake lol

i think 1 tooth down on the front would be enough
