| WAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The day has finally come. I finally got my engine in my bike, and went for my first ( albeit short) ride of the season. The beast is back on the road. I went with the new sprocket setup (15/45). Huge difference in acceleration. Front end gets light very easily even under only partial throttle. Basically, I'm just happy to be riding. I have never gone this far into the season without riding. I thought I might die.  |

| Re: WAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! if you change the gearing by using different sprockets you should look at getting a speedo healer. changing the gearing in this way can throw your mph reading out by as much as 15%. |
