exSRAaron Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah i was thinking about doing something a lil less. but ill probably only be hitting up the STT novice group at mid-o once or twice this season, before i sell the bike.What are you running on ur 600? cant remember if thats ur track bike or not..and on the street I'm really not worried about top-end anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reference wasnt really from a loosing top end stand point but more from a youre going to be shifting like crazy and winding out in spots you would rather not be wound out in at the track. I am still running stock gearing on both my bikes, 750 and 1K.I went +2 on the rear on the dirtbike just to make the bottom end more snappy. Not to mention, I dont need to run 90mph on my dirtbike. a -1+2 setup is going to make your bike pretty snappy in the bottom end. If your only going to to 1-2 trackdays, its probably not a big deal at all. I was just throwing the infor out there as an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So why are you sinking all that money into the bike if your going to sell it at the end of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 -1/+2 is going to rev like a sum bitch on the freeway cruises to. just to let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I plan on upgrading to an '07 next year. I may end up keeping it depending on my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just throwing the infor out there as an FYI.Yeah I've thought about that; if I was planning on doing more trackdays I would've likely went with -1 or -2 upfront. My main goal at mid-o is to improve my overall skill level, and to be able to push my bike in a safer controlled environment, not really looking for quickest lap times etc..Oh, and a good amount of the money I'm spending is going towards gear. And some of the parts will be transferred to my new bike once the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ah got some gearing info from one of the guys who ran on the Wizard Nat'l Endurance team on a k6 Gixxer 1k. He said they ran 16/47 (-1 front +5 rear) So I am going to put on 46 tooth rear for -1 +4 on the 1k.. Seeing how I didn't even touch 6th gear at Mid OH even with -1 +1.

If your only going to to 1-2 trackdays, its probably not a big deal at all. I was just throwing the infor out there as an FYI.Actually Flounder -1 +2 is pretty standard on race bikes... My 600 was -1 +2 at the end of last year and was much better.The thing going up the extra teeth can do is allow you to run that higher gear which smooths out mid corner. The ideal situation is to run the highest gear you can without sacrificing drive out on any bike. Going into corners with the RPM in the high range is not idea as generally the throttle response is a bit trickier and generally requires the rider to make a shift early in corner exit.

exSRAaron Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah it does put a strain on the drive system once u drop down that low (16 teeth to 14 teeth) But i know of a few "racers" on 600rr.net running that on the track.
