sprokets/wheelies ???
ive had quite a few bikes,,and none were as fast as the 12r,, my questions is,,what is the perfect sproket setup for overal performance AND wheelies,,it seems way to fast and radical when i bring it up under power,,maybe im used to slow motion wheelies,,it is completely stock except a muzzy pipe,,ive gone through 4 gear wheelies,,on my CBX,,and my GSXR 1100,,no problem in shifting in the air,,but it seems like im going over the speed limit before it whats to come up,,i was thinking that a little more low end would put me in the area i want to be to "setup" the wheel stand,, am i wrong? any feed back

Do a 17-48 sprocket set up and you can do throttle wheelies in 2nd gear at 50mph, best is 3rd gear clutch wheelies because the rpm will be low making for a smoother riding wheelie!!!

is that gonna require a different chain,,or will it work with the stock,,what is the stock gearing,,and can you accomplish the same end result,, by changing either the front or the rear,,instead of both ,, or is that required? Its cold here in NYC ,,icy too,, FN treacherous,,but the season is right around the corner and i want to be ready.

17-48 will fit with a stock chain.

i'm running standard gearing on my zx12 and can pick it up in 1st by flicking the clutch, i bring it up at about 6k with the clutch and change to 2nd as soon as it's up, it just takes a bit of practice, i also pick it up of the power in 1st but it is a bit faster, i was used to a tuned bandit before the 12 so it took a while to addapt

yea ,, i hear ya,, this is like hyperspeed compared to my CBX,,that thing was like a slow motion wheelie,,(i down 2 up),, the 87 GSXR11 was a lil more radical,,but totally predictable,,in a 1st gear power up,,i finger it out!,,like i said,,first REAL fast bike,,and my GSXR was a 10.88 @ 129 bike riden to the track on factory crap tires! which isnt really a slouch.
