I installed it last night. It was a breeze. I adjusted my cal box to 8.5% and verified it against my GPS this am. The speedo was .3 fast. Close enough. I am also running a 180 rear tire. I like the new response. It puts the power closer to where it needs to be, speed vs RPM. I will be able to ride it a gear high much easier through the twisties. Only 4 months left of this east coast crap.

I loved this mod on my F4, but I'm not sure I want to drop one on the 954. I did it on the 600 out of necessity. I'll wait till I put on more miles and the blade is broken in before I decide if I want to do it with this bike. So far, I like the stock feel.

Glad you like it!

Pczach, if you don't want quite the change of 1 down in the front, try two up on the rear. I've ridden the 954 with that gearing, and it is fantastic, a great compromise IMO.

So a 16/45 setup is maybe alittle less hyper with still good power boost in low/mid? Hmmm, I've been thinking of changing the rear sprocket. I have had the 15t on and off about a dozen times. It's OK, but I always end up switching back to the stock 16t for a smoother, less hyper ride. Hyper is the only word that comes to mind when trying to describe the 15t, not the greatest but not too bad either. Just my opinion.

SuperDave, if you're caught between stock and one down on the front, I'll bet you $20 you'll like 2 up on the back.

Alright, your on! * *

Sorry for the hijack!

Let me know when you're ready to pay up!

Can you go 2 up on the rear with the stock chain length?

Nope---unless your chain is stretched to the max---thats why alot of folks go 1 down in the front---then you can go 2 up in the raer if you want--NOte--this was on a 929--not sure about a 954

thanks

Thanks for the info Pete! I'm not against dropping a tooth in front, I'm just not sure it's something I want to do. The 954 has tons more torque than my F4. I just got the bike a couple weeks ago, and I only have a couple hundred miles on it. When she's broken in I'll decide if I want to change the front, go up 2 in the rear, or just stay with stock.

I'm still trying to get used to having power at any rpm, and in any gear!

Your smart, take your time. I also went from a F4 to a 929. I just put the 15t sprocket on and I have 7k miles. You have to respect that extra 354cc's.
