I'm on a 99 F4 and i'm 1 down in front, I dont know how many up in back. Its a 60 tooth rear, though. I dont know what stock is. I love it-really slow wheelies, a lot easier to keep on B.P, in turn easier to hop around!

Hey thanks man. Glad to know there are still a few of us out there. Hey have you rode an F4i? How much difference?

The only difference between the F4 and F4i is the fuel injection. Well and the nanner seat.

On the -1 in front means +3 in the back, this works as a good general rule, but the difference actually changes slightly as the number of teeth get furter apart.

i"ve been wanting to gear mine low for this stuff, but i like my gas mileage and speed.

I've been thinking of going -1 in the front and +2 in the back.
Anyone know what this will do as far as highway rpms/gas mileage/operating temperature? I ride an 01 F4i.

I have a 2000 F4 and I went -1 on the front and stayed with the stock number of teeth on the rear. it helped the low end, but not near as much as your looking for. I would never go lower the -1 on the front-the chain can bind if you go to small on the front.

It doesnt change it a whole lot but it does a little. You wont really notice anything with your mileage but your RPM's will go up a little bit. The temperature will not change. I always ran 183 on the highway and it stayed the same after I changed the sprockets.

Just bumping this back up because I'm about to get my rim back from powder coating, and think I'm ready to step up to -1 / +17. (60 tooth).

I want to try my bike as a lot bike for a while. No real interist in road trips, track days, or twisties at the moment, so might as well do this now.

Anyone have experience on this kind of tooth change on a 929?
