sprockets

[katana600]

what size sprockets would be good for wheeling. i was thinkin of puttin on a 14 tooth in the front and a 45 tooth in the rear

Down in the front. Up in the rear. Isn't stock 47?
I have heard dropping one in the front is like adding three in the rear.
Dropping two in the front I beleve is a hard on the chain due to the tight diameter it needs to roll around. Target 50 for your rear.

i've read so many i heard so many different sizes of what's stock. mine origanally had a 47 on the rear, but when i called to order new sprockets, 45 was listed. either way, go 14 in the front and at least 47 in the rear. 50 would be good for even more low end.

Depends on the bike. A 750 will easily wheelie with stock....everything.

My 600 would pull easy (clutched) standups with a 13/48.......could do it with a 14/47 too, but not nearly as easily.

a 14/45 is a 'wrong' combo. Stock is 15/47, so you'd be going down on both sprockets.

(A) Stunt-style wheelies or just a wee bit of wheelie coming off the line?

Down in the front is good.
