alright i just went 1 down in the front and 2 up in the rear. I must say for around town and a little interstate riding it is wombles awesome!!!. I noticed i am running at 5,000 rpm at like 75 to 80 mph in 6th . i can cruise around in 6th gear in town and wack the throttle and have no bog. I will probably get ride of the rear sprocket when it wears out and just put the stock back on so i can cruise on the interstate. But for now its all fun.

oh yea and i can clutch it in 3rd and get the wheel up like 2 inches

Has anybody tried just one tooth of the front? Does it make a noticeable difference ? I don't need the bikes top speed but a little extra oomph would be nice !
The other thing I wondered was does it affect the speedo and mileometer ? The speedo is already a pain to read , especially in 30's and 40's.

Thanks for any comments

hi, loads of people have droped one on the front and it does give you more oomph, also it does affect the speedo, there are lots of previous posts about this so have a search, dodds.

Anything that can blow a ZX12 up to 70 must be good!

I did the 2 up on the rear for awhile, then went to a 15T on the front also. It takes some getting use to after the change. The only thing strange I did notice is a whine/whirring noise coming from the area of the front sprocket when I let off the throttle. Anybody else find that after the front sprocket change?
Then again it could be my imagination and it was there the entire time. I think anytime after I wrench on anything I hear noises.

Guess its kanda to be expected. The chain is having to go round a smaller diameter sprocket so each link is moving more so more noise

Well thats the scientific answer, but it could also be the different sprocket sounds different -the standard Honda ones have a big rubber pad on the back which the replacement ones are missing.

i only changed the front sprocket for 1 down. it's the best change you could do! at law RPM the bike is more smooth (fluent?).
and sometime i manage to lift up and stand in 3rd without clutcing!
What is the use of 16 ft sprocket??????

The difference on the speedo is arround 6.25%

I have gone 1 down on the front makes a huge difference it now easily holds 3rd on the back wheel

and can clutch up 3rd gear stand ups with out a problem. I would like to go larger on the back so I can start to do some slower wheelies and get more into stunting but I love track days and road rides so I guess its out for now till I can get a 2nd styorm 1 for track and ride days and 1 to stunt

I have gone +12 on the rear. (use to have -1 on the front but it didn't feel right). Top of first is about 65km/hr (40 miles/hr).....it'll pop up easily in up to 3rd gear.

Ride days.....The only riding my bike see's is balence point slow stuff and other stunts.....

I rarely ride it on the street although is street registered, i never go to ride days, I'll have to pm ya on OSB's site when i get there name and number

+12 is purely stunts - trust me - a 1T drop front and 4 diff rear is mad enough for normal people whilst still allowing reasonable distance.

DO PEOPLE STILL USE THAT WORD...(WHILST)
