Hey guys, i'm looking to change the rear sprocket to a 16/42 for better acceleration down low. I figure since I never get to use the top speed of this bike I may as well ensure I can't be picked of by zx10's and friends down low.
Have many people here changed to this gearing? Are there any better setup's for faster acceleration. Keep in mind, I still primarily want to use the bike for the twisties, no drag for me. I don't want the bike to be super twitchy, but I could definately do with more whack through 1st,2nd etc.
I'm not too concerned about the front wheel coming up as I weigh about 97kg and its fairly easy for me to get my body over the front under hard acceleration.
Any recommendations guys? also, what else would I need to pick up besides the rear sprocket. Any particular brands? I could do with a new chain.
Thanks guys,
Josh
