-2 front +2 rear, anybody tried it?
I'm -1/+2 on my 14 and was curious if anyone has went -2 on the front after and if so would it be safer to just go up more in the rear than going anymore then -1 down on the front because of it's small turning radius vs the chain?

I'm -1, +4 with +6" wheelbase....and that is a lot of gear, too much for stock wheelbase, Imo. And yes, the tighter radius is less desirable...
-2,+2 = +7 on stock wheelbase....forget it!

LOL....Ok, I was just curious. It sounds dreamy, but would kill my gas bill probably, and like you said I'd need to stretch it for that gearing.

I assume you have a 7 speed tranny too? Thats a lot of gear. You must be planning a lot of 1/8th mile.

Wheelie
I am 300ish 16/44 @64wb I ran my best time Sunday:
1.473
4.034
6.17 @112.25
1/8 mile.
I was thinking of going up 1 or 2 teeth in the rear(I want 5"s)
But up 4 more? It seemed too big, then again, I could leave at maybe 3500rpm instead of 6000. Is this why you going 16/48?
Sorry Ninjanick if I am thread jack'in.

He does. Wee can ride,,,,, a friend has seen him at local 1/8 Drag Strip. I have a second swingarm I am having Shanes Spencer Cycle Extension welded to the arm and remove
the welded bracket on the swing arm. Gilberjj sold me his Muzzy Gold 3 holes links and I purchased a Brocks Radial Strap Kit. Goodridge SS longer brake line. Next is a ZZZ longer chain and metal cahin guard. Now Wee can give me help with my 60 ft. It's been a long time. :-) It's time get on the school buss.... but it will be Big Fun. Maybe my old reflexes
are still good enough to beat a V-Max :-)

Well ,it takes all types of rider and combo's...I think Lee went 8's on 16/41 or 16/42....and 1.3 60 fts....
At 16/48 you must launch low, and toss the clutch out...

does anyone think a higher wind screen makes a difference for 6-1 and up guys in the 1/8 or 1/4?
