Sprockets

SS4Luck said:
Their hyper fast is a 17/45 520 conversion. We took a 530 17/45 off of my friends bike and swapped it with a 18/45 and it got quicker and faster from 80-140 and overall 40-150d faster and quicker. He was full weight, +6 with the rear shock spring but not valved for his weight. First gear was like riding a rodeo bull *if* it hooked on the hit.

Ive helped 5 other local guys (Gen 2 and 3) that were stock motor exhaust/stacks/filter/flash with their sprocket work. And stock motor just seems to do best 18/43-45 depending on bike weight. I have a guy with a Gen 2 1441 coming over this week and were going to throw the GPS on and see if his extra power will like an 18/40 or 18/41. Hes 18/43 right now and the bike acts like the -1/+2 Gen 3s that came in that we had to smooth out.

As for the accelaration from stand still point which one will be better 17/45 or 18/45.
 
From experience, stay stock. Dropping teeth on the rear will make it a little sluggish and you won’t improve ur top speed. 185-190 should be good I’m a little heavy, so if you weigh 145 lbs. go for it. Rear sprockets are easily changed. Now if you are adding 15-20 RWHP you might do better. But the factory sprockets are perfect for the bike.

17/45 if by stand still you mean 0-100, if your chassis and suspension will put the power down without you having to fight a wheelie. 99% of the time the fastest and quickest pass will be the pass that you have to do the least amount of riding.

Yes, I dipped down to 18/42 for a while but my bike is in the 43X lbs now. When it was in the 450s or 460s 18/44 is where it was at. Close to stock weight 18/45 was the best choice
 
Love 18/45 too, bike feels lighter, I did a vmax like never before, city ride or Highway I like it both, also like the way the engine revs without effort, should have done it from the start !

BUT now TC flashes like stupid, not always but it has become way more sensitive. TC is even flashing in 4th or 5th gear on big curves with some leaning and throttle 50% open or more. Was wondering if I did damage the sensor in the process of disassemble/assemble the rear wheel (real pain in the ass btw).

TC used to be set on 5, after this ride I decided to try 4 and it was a little bit better. Cannot believe the torque is so big that I activate TC on 4th or 5th gear...

Took some pics, sensor could have been hit against the disc but doesn't seem broken. Any thoughts guys ? Thanks

The end of it makes me believe it might have got hit. Also, yes TC flashes way more now and the torque is amazing.

Ordered it on Saturday, should arrive maybe tomorrow on Tuesday. If after replacing it goes on, I will be fine with it, but I really believe the sensor has been damaged because goint out of a roundabout with just a little bit of throttle, in second gear, TC will flash. It is more connected to the lean angle than the throttle position, awkward. I will find out soon !

Did you raise the pivot to lower the bike or for more swingarm angle adjustments? Man i cant wait to see what your bike does, its such an awesome piece of engineering and thought.

Hi. It is to help with traction which will be my biggest problem above 250MPH (If I can even get to 250) DAS had a GS 1100 with a buss front plastic and the long LSR tail and went around 266MPH. The rear wheel speed was 310. So I am geared to I think 320. I will also keep a real time tempture of my rear tire.
