Gears????

[Wish4busa]

I have -1 +2 and I was wondering what if I went +5 on the back and back to stock on the front would the rpm stay the same or be alittle lower?????

-1 at the front is approximately the same as +3 at the rear.

My webpage above will show you more info (thank to BarMatt for posting it).

I know about the -1 +3 I was wondering if the rpm is the same or better to leave the front at 15 and go bigger on the back

[The CyberPoet]

The smaller the front sprocket, the lower the life expectancy for the chain & the sprocket (because as the chain turns the tighter circle it builds more heat, which is the primary cause of seal failure, and in turn leads to chain stretching & wear). Thus, going up in the back is always better than going down in the front...

As for the RPM's, see the tables on the webpage listed above.
