DISCLAIMER: B4 anyone blows me out of the water on this topic I'm using wheelies as a way to measure bike acceleration (ie. a busa can pull a wheelie by opening up the throtle since it has a lot better acceleration). I don't have any interest in doing them, Not an any way like that 14 yo who wanted to go out and do them, He's got a lot more pedaling on his schwin b4 he gets a motorized one.
Anyways, after reading some of the posts on gearing, if you are in the range of a +3 on the back and a -1 on the front or maybe leave the front, This will up your acceleration that much (to do a wheelie) by just opening up the throttle? I assume this also drops your gas mileage and jumps your rpm's up at cruising speed so instead of being at about 6000 at 70mph it'd be what? or how much would gas mileage drop? On the other hand, if I were to switch the gear to maybe a -3 on the back it would signifigantly change the acceleration in a negative way but up my gas milage and lower rpm's at cruising speed. Does anyone have some aprox numbers on these like how much each way helps you out depending on what you want to do?
How easy or tough is this to do? I have a bike that needs a new chain anyways since it's been sitting for a while. I have done everything to my carbs like clean them out and stuffif you want to relate it to dificulty level. What special tools would I need to remove/replace the chain. I'm not at home now but I suppose I could check my manual too.
