You have any "free" ones for a 06 636?
I rode with one of your crazy ass co workers last Sunday.

How does the sprocket specialties hold up for the rear?
I saw some prices like 50. shipped

Can you link me to a sidewinder tri metal?

I've gone through 2 Tri-metal (or Stealth, whatever you want to call it) rear sprockets. They are absolutely the bext sprocket on the market. My current one has about 20k miles on it. Plus they look super pimp.

Well I guess they have to satisfy the owners of Yamahas some how,its not in speed/performance

Thanks Knine/DogBoneR1 (whats up with the dog names? )
I will check into the "stealth" they look bad ass,and the concept seems great,anodized with still having steel teeth.But where can i find them from a US dealer?I did a search and im guessing they are from UK,cause thats all I found who sold it?

Thanks for the link Bluezoomer

LS1etr I will check out afam,alot of local shops sell them.But I dont know anything about it.


Ok heres a question.
My bike comes stock with 42 in the rear.

I dont want to change my front sprocket.

I wanted to go 1 down/2 up.Untill I decided NOT to change the front.
So.....How much should I try to go up in the back?I seen some companies only go with 45 in the back,but I saw one brand go into the 50s.Should I just try to go 3 up?

I want faster accel,with out killing TO much of the top in.

I dont have v tak
