Gearing ?

[STUNNAH]

and by the way... how the #*^$ do you wheelie that thing...when its stretched 6 inches out...... i realize ur boosted, but my N/A bike accelerates fast enough to only keep it up for like 2 or 3 sec (about 1-2 ft off the ground too....)  

 

 

The wheelie pic was pre boost and at stock length...All she wants to do now is spin the rear...And you just need more practice and you'll be going thru the gears...

so what top speed am i looking @ with the legendary 16/42 setup?

 

[sully]

16/42 BEST SETUP FOR DRAGSTRIP AND STREET
TRIED 17/42--16/40

Where does this put you at tha strip in tha 1/8mi ? And where does this put your axle on a stock arm ?

My stock chain still fit with no prob, in the 1/8th I am at the top of 3rd gear at around 111 to 112 but i baby it off the line and only run 6.58 to 6.62 with a stock wheelbase. Slow but fun.

16 Front 42 back
Vortex sprockets found just about everywhere.
Good luck, and you won't go wrong with this set-up.

what painless said...

Here's that calculator that Stunnahman was talkin' 'bout...

 

[hayabusa_83]

still lost.... i love acceleration, but what top speed am i lookin at for 16/42's?

 

[BusaCruise]

the one rule I always used to hear was that one up or down in the front was equal to 3 teeth on the rear in the opposite direction...generally.
i.e. +1 up front = -3 out back & -1 up front = +3 out back.

this 16/42 setup is about equal to +1 out back.....so you aren't loosing more than 5~10mph on the top end...but it make the busa more fun (aka..more wheelies) in the lower gears.

 

[hayabusa_83]

unfortunatly my busa's slammed so wheelies are out for her. but i still got the advantage of acceleration right?

 

[C_Henry]

Yea, the 16/40 is nice off the line but, I think it's costing me a little in e.t. Gonna try that 42 a little later.

 

[C_Henry]

Just ordered my 42 rear !

Hope this thing doesn't start wheeling.

I'am glad I found this topic. I to want to change my sprocket set up. Where I live top end runs are possible all the time lots of country roads wtih no acesss or houses for miles. Thats all fine but as noted most bikes that want to try you top end is not a factomundo. I DONT MIND THE LOSS OF SOME TOP END!!! but at the same time my bike is maxed lowered and whilleeees are out. So I want max excell in the first 4 then just crusing speed in 5 and 6. I found a place on ebay that is selling the following a vortex front and back with a 530 gold gran prix quadra x-ring zvx 120 chain for $199 all new, you can upgrade to a RXO chain for $40 more. The auction states that you get to pick your front tooth # from 14 to 17 and your back tooth # from 38 to 52. So what would be a good mix for my application I want it to fly like I said in the first 4. Someone else I  talked to said to go with a 16/44 set up he told me that if the bike will do 185 at 10,000 rpm then this type of set-up would would still go 185 only at like 11,375 rpm like he said red line.The speed calc from above shows something like 175 at the 10,800 rpm level. I know this is a confusing subject and buying alot of different set-ups and trying them would be ideal but who has that kind of cash to burn. So any more info on this would be great!!!!

                                                 THANKS
