[@avidtv123]

Ur gonna love it

[@jayarchitect]

thanks for the tutorial...

[@bebop46]

Your video was straight forward. Amazing how others make this so complicated with special tools and rear wheel removal!
Thanks!😀

[@ikermendo1578]

Great upgrade!. How do you feel the speed improvement in 6th gear? Is it running good but slightly less rpm? Or do you feel a bit lazy?
Thanks mate

[@avidtv123]

I feel like the bike should have been like this from the start lower rpm at Cruz and still has power through 6th

[@ikermendo1578]

@@avidtv123 Thankyou for your reply. I will try this upgrade on mine's asap. Thx

The 18 T was better for freeway commute. Too bad they don't make it anymore

[@mentor7796]

Bonzer tutorial!
Did you find 1st gear to have longer reach too?

[@avidtv123]

Yes it makes the bike run the was it should

[@IRQ1Conflict]

Good job buddy! What RPM's are you seeing at 60mph?
Also, does your bike have a snatchy throttle? Mine seems to come on to abruptly.

[@avidtv123]

My rpms are around 4800 at 60. Put some wd40 down the inside of the throttle cables.

[@foaley77]

@@avidtv123 what was the rpm on the 16 tooth?

[@IRQ1Conflict]

Iirc about 5000-5100 RPM. My main issue is the secondary vibration from the 180 degree crank.
I'm buzzing after an hour of riding without a break.

[@troyholland3436]

Bro I put a 15tooth front sprocket I didn’t notice a huge difference it has a little more torque but nothing crazy u recommend me putting a 14 or 13 tooth on it? Or would that make it too much torque ? I still wanna keep a good top end too

[@avidtv123]

The lower u go the faster it will rev but ur top speed will decrease

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 oh so it doesn’t really give it better torque just makes it rev a little better ?

[@troyholland3436]

Hey man I’m really worried I got the same bike and I’ve noticed when ever I’m in 5th gear right after I shift into 6th it will some times rev up super high like something is getting stuck after I shift I think it might need a new clutch it over all shifts pretty smooth but it does that some times is that normal?

[@avidtv123]

It should only rev up when given throttle or down shifting going from fifth to sixth the rpms should not go up but go down

[@deansigman6099]

Lol I went the other way. Put a 15t on instead of the stock 16.

[@avidtv123]

Yours will rev quick wheelie easy

[@deansigman6099]

@@avidtv123 acceleration is amazing and a lot of fun. However, its around 5400 rpm at 60mph so its a little much. Might go back to stock.

[@avidtv123]

@@deansigman6099 YA I FEEL LIKE THE 17 TOOTH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE

[@troyholland3436]

If I get a 15 tooth do I half to adjust the tire of shorten my chain?

[@avidtv123]

Same chain move tire

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 so With the 15 tooth I’ll have beftee torque but less top speed?

[@avidtv123]

YES LESS TOP SPEED MORE TORQUE TO WHEEL@@troyholland3436

[@troyholland3436]

@@avidtv123 ok how often you recommended cleaning the air filter ? I put a new one on it recently and put about 700 miles on it with the new filter you recommended me clean it soon?

[@avidtv123]

IF U RIDE IN THE DIRT I WOULD CHECK BUT 700 MILES IS NOTHING DONT WORRY ABOUT AIR FILTER BUT TO KEEP CARBS CLEAN I PUT LUCAS FUEL ADDITIVE IN WITH GAS EVERY FILL UP@@troyholland3436

[@johncostin4475]

Bloody hell......shifter arse about on the axle nut and barely tight on reassembly. Chain way to tight.
I've seen enough to make me loose sleep😮
