sprocket swap?
I was wondering if I can change my front sprocket from 17 to 16 without breaking the chain apart. Really didn't want to cut the chain intell I get new chain and extension.

The chain will work just fine with a 16T and you get the benefit of a slightly longer wheelbase.(less wheelies)

I was talking to Dave at Muzzys and he recommended this to me as well.
My problem is the liter bikes here are getting me sometimes on rolling starts. I do not do standing starts cus I suck, lol.
It's a 50/50 ratio with whoever gets the initial jump winnign up to 150mph. Anything past that and i pull everytime.
So the 16 tooth will give me the good push I need eh?
Steel tooth I presume? Any links?
