mrmako777 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 i went with the driven sprockets, -1/+2 and i wouldnt say it was a big deal. noticeable but not a huge difference. i agree with what the others have said about using a 600 to its full potential, not many can do it. id say hold off on the 1k and just do the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 If you put your mouse on it, it says, rolleyes - sarcastic. Seriously though, what DID you mean? I'm just confused by that post man. You're very hard to understand on the internet than in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustinkz1000 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Get a 1000 man. I know i would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0469 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 there arent very many but maybe a couple that can use what a 600 has. why spend the 12g or 13g whatever they cost, when u arent ever gonna use all the power??? if u drag i understand but for anything else i dont see the point in it. @ 23 ur insurance will be stupid on a 1000 and this is ur 2nd bike, and just got the 600 earlier this year if memory serves me correctly. u really think ur ready for a 1000??? just be honest with urself man. not trying to flame just IMO.I'm on my third bike, and I've had 600s since i got my temps at 15 1/2. So I've been riding for 8 years on 600s. I did just get this one about a yr ago and my next bike will be my 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey Justin, honestly if you're thinking about a 1000 do it. I am a power junkie and want more and more. If you're the same, then do it. Then after that go -1/+2 on the 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Drordy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 if you want more power/torque definitely go down teeth in the front, up in the back... you lose top end and gas mileage, but how often do you peg it in 6th anyway?For a 600 this is actually false. They lack the HP to rev out 6th in the first place so the gearing will actually produce the same speed but at a different, higher, rpm.

I'll probably go test ride a cbr1000 too just to see what thats like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattKatz Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 But in all seriousness..I feel his pain.I went almost immediately to a -1/+2 on my 600RR.....Much better than stock.When I got my new wheels......I felt the need for a bit more so I upped the rear to a +3.....It is pretty nice there and I like its powerband now.It stilll needs some more torque though.....and no amount of teeth will help that out while still making it streetable.I did however find out the max speed on my bike in this gearing COnfig this past weekend on the way back from th dyno.....145......and its bouncing off the limiter in 6th.And yes....I have a speedo healer so its corrected.

V4junkie Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 So you're considering a 1k but keep saying you don't want something that wheelies too easily, get the sprockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0469 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 So you're considering a 1k but keep saying you don't want something that wheelies too easily, get the sprockets.i say that because ive read people making comments that after the sprocket changes "it's hard to keep the wheel down" while in first. I don't think that's true of stock 600s or 1000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin0469 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 OK, thanks for everyone's comments. After looking and reading around I went with Stealth sprockets. They aren't as common as Vortex or Driven. I like the looks for Vortex, but not the quality. I liked the quality of the Drivens a little more but still kinda iffy. I read about the Stealths, they are a little more expensive but high quality and look nice. I got the EK MVXZ Gold chain. Now I'll have to get a Speedohealer too, maybe 12 o'clocker will have his done soon enough...http://www.motomummy.com/store/product.php?productid=16292&cat=270&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
