    1997 GSXR600 Sprocket question

    Ok my buddy has a 1997 GSXR600 (Big Gay's old bike) i was thinking about having him go 1 down in the front and 2 up in the rear. What do you guys think about this set up? Chad

    btw, going down one in front is equivalent to going up three in back.

    yeppers actually its like 2.86 or some BS JK im not actually that smart. 1 down and 2 up is about right for that bike. He drives it around town alot. That is why we are going that rout. Thanks for the input though. Appriciate it.

    I think I am two down and one up. Great acceleration, but sux on the highway (like 8 grand at cruising speeds). Lemme know if you need it, but I have a barely used front that is one down.
