-1/+3 overkill?

i have no experience with this sort of thing but i would imagine the front wheel would be hard to keep down with that setup.

i have 520 conversion with 1 down in the front and +2 rear... first gear the front comes up easy...i went with this to give me more power in the canyons


1 down in the front equals +3 rear

but you gotta do it evenly...

Don't bother switching out unless you are going to be stunting most of the time or have a better reason for it than wheeling. Wheeling is easy on almost any style of bike and stupid easy on a sport bike.

^^^ this makes it even easier... o.0?

-1 +3 is a bit extreme. i have -1 and stock rear, but R1's are notoriously geared too high from the factory, and most people drop a tooth on the front sprocket.

whoops

well this is a 600. r1s can pop power wheelies easy. my 600 can barely do em in first, i have to roll off then roll on. clutching up in second is impossible, and first is the only gear that'll do em nicely with clutching up, and even then its hard. I wanna be able to ride around in second gear and then clutch em up high, i don't wanna have to slow to 10mph to pull one.

Its just badass to see my friends on liters rip em up and hold em easy
