Ahh not bad but i need the Big Gun. Sounds unreal. Would the brand new stock pipe be worth anything to anyone ?

How did it affect the top speed and the higher gears mate ? Do you have to compensate anything by having this sprocket ? Also did you have to adjust the chain ?



Thanks

The kickstand safety switch prevents the bike from being in gear when the kickstand is down. There have been reports of it not working properly. So many, me included, have disabled it. Here's a link with more info.

As for the gearing, check out Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Speed, RPM, Chain & Sprockets Calculator

Only ebay knows... but don't get rid of it immediately. You might find the Big Gun annoying if you do much riding. With pipes exiting about 3 ft from your ear what sounds good at times can become quite annoying.

Didn't do a before and after on top speed, but I can say on level ground with no wind I did do 80mph (GPS) after putting on the 13t. I loosened the chain to remove the back wheel and take the chain off the sprocket before changing out the sprocket, and when reassembling everything I did adjust the chain, although I don't imagine the adjustment was very much.

Did you have to change the gearing mate ?

After installing the 13T would you say it made a huge difference ?


Thanks man
