    Gearing questions.

    Ah wicked. Thanks. I shot Bill a text, he said i should give him a call cause he can explain it better than text. Ill probably call him monday or tuesday. Pretty busy next couple of days with other things on my mind.

    Gearing questions.

    If I did decide to get the tune first, would there be any drawbacks to getting the m4 headers later? I dont think they'd be TOO different than oem. Or am I mistaken?

    Gearing questions.

    After my trip this june I should have over 21k kms anyway so I was just going to change it all then. The chain will last at least til 40k anyway. I can only really afford to do one of these mods this year and I think it would be better for me to fiddle with the ecu first and see how I like that...

    Gearing questions.

    My mid pipe is removed. I have the m4 gp with stg 1 baffle muffler meant for the full exhaust but I have it jimmy rigged into the oem header. Next year im getting the same exhaust in full. I dont like not having a proper mount for it. Using some all round right now looped over the oem rear set...

    Gearing questions.

    Yea, it goes right to 16.5 hitting the limiter. Does your friend tune the stock ecu or just take restrictions off? This seems like a much better route for me to go. I can wring the throttle in first in a straight line like a 250 and the front wheel wont lift unless I hit a pretty big dip in the...

    Gearing questions.

    Is that why the 02-04 r6 models or whatever it was had a redline on the tach of something crazy like 18k rpm?

    Gearing questions.

    That's odd to me they'd put the red on the gauge higher than it will actually go. Is the gauge just for show then? Lol. Im not trying to be a dick im just trying to understand why the heck they'd do that. Also, just how much would my oem ecu be limiting power in the first couple gears? I never...

    Gearing questions.

    Thanks but I know what my redline is at, I could post a picture of my tach when I get home. Also, I did buy the bike new and I'm 100% positive on the actual speed vs rpm. Once again, at 7400-7500 rpm the gauge reads 127-128 kmh when the actual speed is 120 kmh as given by my gps. I am absolutely...

    Gearing questions.

    Also, will going to a 15t front dramatically reduce my chain life?

    Gearing questions.

    Ok thanks for the info. And yes, 7400-7500 rpm at 120 km/h REAL speed using my gps is correct. The speedo does read 127-128, though. Maybe it's because It revs high even comparing to other 600's of the same year? 16.5k redline. Also, it seems like a 46t rear is the largest I can find from a...

    Gearing questions.

    nevermind, guess I should have looked better on google. 16 front and 43 rear are OEM. So I'd be going to 48 rear. 112 links is OEM chain size, and most 520 chains come with 120 links. I'm guessing that would still be enough.

    Gearing questions.

    Brian, do you have any knowledge about my bikes chain? Any idea how many links I need with OEM gearing? I guess I could go count them but it's late and 13 floors underneath me and I have to be at work by 6 am tomorrow lol.

    Gearing questions.

    I want the higher revs for acceleration and to make wheelies easier, to be honest. it sits at about 7.5k rpm on the highway at 120 km/h (128 on the speedo) and I'd be happy with ~9k rpm at that speed. I don't imagine 0/+5 would go much beyond that.

    Gearing questions.

    Yes I did a search and couldn't find anything that answered all my questions to my satisfaction. After a long highway trip I have in June, (about 8000 kms in 3 weeks) I'm considering changing up the gearing on my bike. Right now it's obviously stock. I'm thinking of going +5 rear for a couple...

    Motorcycling IS NOT a cheap hobby!!!

    Hobby? Motorcycling, at least to me, is a way of life. If you've got the addiction you have to make it work with whatever you have to work with. All my life I've been into bikes of all kinds. When I was 17 I eventually pieced together a bicycle worth about $2k all together with all the money I...

    Why America can't afford public health care

    His poops would probably be silky smooth for a while and require a whole roll of toilet paper each time. And my points are for general health, not only weight loss.
