I currently have 43 tooth rear sprocket on my superhawk from the previous owner. I assume the front one was left at the stock 16T.

I wan't want to go to a 15T in the front and up a couple of teeth in the rear. I just wanted to know if any one of you guys has tried that or is running 15/45.... any thought or comments would be appretiated before i buy the new sprockets.

Thanks.

 

I run a 15/45 on the track. I would not suggest it for the street. the rpm on the freeway is around 6500/7000 crusing at 65. personaly a 15/43 is more then enough and a big differce. I went the same route with at 530 16/41 to a 16/43. and then did a 15/45 when it became a 90/10 track/street bike. I also keep a 43 sproket for longer tracks. a 15/45 is really short gearing much shorter then you would think.

 

Thanks for the input... that helps a lot to decide which one to go with

 

I haven't pulled off the cover to see the counter shaft sprocket, but my rear is a 43. Mine was bought used and modded as well. I run about 4500-4800 rpm on the highway.....70ish since speedo is way off. Reads about 90 while running with traffic.

 

+1 on the 15/43 and you can use stock chain too...

 

not sure what the front is on mine, but the rear is 43, and my speedo is off pretty bad, if im at 90-95 or so, im doing 80-85 and only turning about 5000-5500 rpm

 

oh and it is easy to do a second gear wheelie from 40-45 all the way to third gear.

at the track i hit 100 mph in the 1/8 mile, and thats the top end third at 9600 rpm.

 

98honda: I'd guess your front is 15 and I'd suggest using a speedo healer to correct your readings and avoid phantom miles...

 

I'm running the 15/43 520 kit. 5th gear standups aren't a problem with a good yank on the bars.

 

realy, thats sweet^^ how fast are you going when you pull it up? i never tried to do the stand up wheelie, to scared

i set forward to the tank when i 1st gear, and then roll into the throttle, powers on up but in 2nd i'll sit in the seat, hit about 40 is were i like it, and pop the clutch and up she comes and i try to just keep it up as long as i can till i shift to 3rd, and then it comes back down.

were do i get speedo healer at?

 

I used to only do sit downs myself. Then my friend kept telling me to stand up. So I did, and from then on I was a pro. Much more control and I don't have to keep accelerating cause I'm at balance point. I switched to the 15/43 and now I can come out of turns on the back wheel no problem. It's also a good idea to cover the back brake as well.

 

what do you do, to do a stand up wheelie?

just stand up, pull up, and then throttle at the same time?
