mrsquirrel Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 One tooth down on the front sprocket. Front wheel up in the air Fuel Economy non existant. Acceleration up Feels like a new bike. 5000rpm in top and open her up and away she goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilisht2003 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 not reallly noticable until you do lot of highway miles cause of the higher RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsquirrel Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 It is if you keep letting rip with the throttle though cause you know she is going to pick her front wheel up and make you hurtle forward at a ludicrous rate of knots. I am 3/4 through a tank with 112km on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm feeling a bit bitter today. Do you have anything worthwhile to add to this thread? No? Well we know what to say to that then don't we.

PlasticxxHead Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I just did the 16t this weekend.. You have to be ready to feel the bike screaming under you.. The highway trip rides up at 5k+.. You definately feel the engine braking under cornering.. I rool around the city in 6th now, just because I can snap the throttle and she goes. without down shifting... I'll try it for a while.. The install in easy enough .. I can always throw my 17t back in for a distance run.. ps The bike DOES NOT become a pogo stick.. so don't let that rumor scare you.. You can easily bring the front wheel up but nothing to fear a backflip... Does this mod effect your Odometer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4XX Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Does this mod effect your Odometer? Without a speedohealer your speedometer will read high and your odometer will show miles you never rode. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest an admin put that in the important/useful threads section. Beyond my powers as a mere moderator or I'd do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Travis, start another thread with just that spreadsheet link on it, and I'll happily move it to Important/Useful Threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obby Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 This sport is about FUN!NOT FUEL ECONOMY If you want to be sensible, stay home and mow the lawn. Funny, but not alltogether true. I use my bird primarily as a commuter now-a-days. It has been the best way to get in and out of work during commute hours (hella traffic here in SF). And bridges are free on bikes! The only down side is that I rarely want to ride on my weekends because I'm burt out from my commuting :evil: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
