Noobtastic14 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I am so pleased with this modification that I decided to make a dedicated thread. Something so small has made the bike so much more enjoyable to ride around town! It used to feel sluggish and bogged down below Vtech with long pulls over 7k. After the +2, it surges with the throttle at any RPM and rips through vtech just begging for the next gear. I can actually get a good pull in 5th+6th rather than pulling 3rd/4th and watching the needle stop in 5th. Low speed maneuvering is easier, the clutch is very user friendly and I find that it doesn't surge as much when rolling slowly through the neighborhood. My commute has no highway, and my daytrips usually have short stints of highway taking me to the fun roads so I can live with the wrung out rpms on the highway for the time being. I recommend the upgrade to anybody wanting a little more sport and a little less touring on the 6th gen. -Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobtastic14 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Maybe 10min and I was taking my time. The process is stupid simple- 1 Loosen pinch bolt 2 move tire forward 3 remove chain 4 remove sprocket Then work your way back to step 1 but opposite lol -Drew Edited September 21, 2013 by Noobtastic14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I have done quite a few sprocket changes and I have settled on -1F, +1R. Great acceleration while maintaining reasonable hwy rpm's. On a 5th gen that would be -2F, +1R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
