Question about rear sprockets, I noticed that my 04 R6 has 48 teeth on the rear sprocket and my 04 R1 has 45. I was wondering if I put a 48 on my R1 will it take off smooth as the R6? My R6 is smooth as silk!! My R1 I feel like a beginner again.:fork

gearing change will most certainly give you better response on take off ....lots of info on the forum about the subject of preformance on gearing and engine management....do a search ....you will find good info on how to mod your bike...according to your needs...also there is a east coast cycle squadron thread that you may want to join and subscribe to for more info.... it is a current active topic on the forum.... or view some of user name "Dan Q" posts for more details..

The higher the count you go with the rear sprocket, the quicker acceleration you will get. At the cost of losing top speed, however. You can also drop the front sprocket one tooth, which would be about the equivalent of adding three to the back.

it depends on what u mean by smoother on ur R6? if u mean that its not as powerful so u can take off easier than now putting a 48 would make it worse cause like said before that will actually make the take off more abrupt....

but if u mean ur R6 is smoother cause it seems to have more power at the take off to you then going up would help but u will lose some top end and going up 3 might not be what u want to do ...

do a search and listen to what other people have to say about how they feel after there particular gearing combinations and then make a decision

Smoother meaning a little throttle and away I go. The R1 I get chatter and sometimes it stalls. I have been searching about stalls and chattered starts and their problem sounded like mine and they adjusted the EXUP cables. So Im doing that in the morning:fork

No More Stalls!!!

Well the problem was the exup cables but now the bike sounds like its searching:fork for the right rpm idle speed. And yes I tried the idle adjuster.
