Default changin my sprocket for wheelies

Could I change it out myself? How much would it cost at a local shop like barneys? Thanks.


Its too hard to slip it in 1st to get up so I wanted a tooth setup for power wheelies.

Sprocket changes are pretty easy.
Just need some basic tools.
If you mod the rear, you may end up needing a longer chain.
You may be able to drop the front a tooth, ang go up 1 or 2 in the rear and use your existing chain.
Ideally you would replace both the chain and sprockets... but what ever.

Be careful with the countershaft nut and do not foret the o-rings on the master-link.

Do it yourself.... learn how..... have fun...

If you need a new sprocket to wheelie a bike then you shouldnt be doing wheelies. Didnt you just get this bike?

Go -1 in the front and +2 in the rear. You can pretty much do standups in 4th gear with that set-up. Changing them is fairly simple.

learn stock first. Like they have said. If you cant do it stock .... well you need to learn. Gearing it is only going to make it more twitchy for you.

what do you ride?

What do you ride? Please tell me a 250 or something. Because I could get my 600 up in 3rd. On stock gearing.
