anybody know what to expect with a lower tooth front sprocket? i have muzzy slipons,powercommander,flies out.will it be quicker 1/4 mile time or slower? will it be a wheelie monster? will it have slower 1/4 mile time? got one ordered,just wondering if anyone has tried this.

I put one on back in july, and I luv it. I the first thing I noticed was the vibration . The stock sprocket has a rubber damper on it that absorbs chain vibration. After I had gotten past that I luv it. I noticed more low end power, more kick off the line then before. I dont drag race, but I dont think that it will your 1/4mile speed. It might improve your time though. Good luck..

1st gear will do wheelies...yes

2nd gear spins the rear tire

why not just go up 3 on the rear to avoid vibration

My thought exactly... (or question?)

I dont think the stock chain will still work with +3 in the rear

I think it depends on where the chain tensioner block is, if it is back near the end of it's travel you would need a longer chain if it is near the front of it's travel you might sneak by?
