Go down 1 in the front. Wheelies are all in the rider. I'm 270lbs and I can wheelie a stock gsxr 6 without an issue. I was on the back tire on my friends 06 600 when the odometer rolled over 20k miles

Thats what I would do. A couple guys around here are running -1/+2 and I honestly think their bikes are slower now. Either -1 OR +3, -1 in the front is equal to +2.6 in the rear and since you cant do +2.6 on the rear +3 will give a hair more acceleration than -1 up front will.

I went 1 down and two up. But you have to find out what the best ratio is for your bike. I have a daytona 600 and a 3.14 ratio is the best. So that is what i got.

-1/+9 will lost about 25% of top speed not sure how much of the percentage is correct so dont quote me on it. Plus Speedometer will be off too.

I just changed my setup from -1/+2 to -1/Stk...I like my new setup way more, the gears were to short before...You can easily wheelie the bike w/ -1 in the front...Good luck to you
