Holly Hell! I couldnt belive the differance. I wasnt expecting anything like that. First bike I have ever ridden stock and geared. Huge differance in town. Didnt get out where I could really open her up into the upper RMM range to good. But got her up to where she was pulling real good.

If your not running around trying to find all the tools, I would say and hour. It took me 2 but I had to call a buddy to use his 1/14 socket on the axel nut cause I couldnt find my large metric set. I also replaced my back pads in that time as well.

I really like the sprocket change too...as far as loosing top end speed....im not riding at 150+ for an extended period of time..just spurts at most, so losing that 5-10mph wasnt really a big deal to me...i love the pull and the pick up with the sprockets on.

I went with Vortex..what about everyone else?

keep in mind that the ZX-6R and 10R have a fixed dial that increases the speed by 10% I believe after 50 mph. So yeah, that goes for everyone.

I picked up on the Tri-Metal with the group buy. Awsome looking. After doing some poking around online I see these simalar sprokets but avalible in differant colors. They seem to be a little cheaper so I am asuming they are not as a quality product. They have the Aluminum center and steel outer ring, but they do not have the same "cut outs" in the sprocket. I seen them in the new products in Super Steet Bike or 2 Wheel Tuner mag.

Regardless, I am more than 100% happy with mine.

I have been running mine a few months now. It is a great product and alot of people ask me where I got it from. They have never seen it before. Most people have only heard of Vortex. Not real impreesed with there products.

Only problem with Vortex or full Aluminum sprocket is that they wear out faster than stock steel ones. The Supersprox uses a tougher steel and looks WAAAAYYYY COOOL!
