hi im new to the bike world.......

[leedutcher]

hello my name is lee and i just a new bike... it is a 1992 gs500e i bought it for 700 bux with 6000 miles so i beleave that is good for the year.... any way just wanted to know if there is and differnt sproket gearing for our bikes.

[ben2go]

Welcome and yes.Why are you looking to change sprockets?Are yours bad?If so,you'll need a chain.If you go bigger in the rear you'll have to buy a longer chain. www.kneedragers.com or www.bikebandit.com.

i was thinking og getting a tipoly sproket and a sidewinder "smart chain" both had life time warentees snece im ganna be doing stunts with the bike.. im guessing im ganna be streching the chand and putting alot of stress on the sprocket.. also i was wondering if they make a power commander for our bikes or and other "power mod"

No.

GS is not much of a stunt bike but the sprockets would be one of the main things you can do to increase performance easily. As far as a power commander  The GS is a carburated no magic engine box  Just jets and needles "old school"

i was reading about the 14t-15t and a biger rear sproket like a 49 or somthing... if i do a biger rear sproket and smaller front sproket will i lose top end power?

Yes, it's basically like removing sixth gear and giving you another lower first gear. You'll run at a higher rpm range for a given speed. But if you're stunting it, that shouldn't be a problem.

[ben2go]

If you do 14 and 49 you'll loose any highway rideability.Just a 14 pushes the rpms way up.

Hey Lee, Welcome to the dark side...  muahaa... yeah... anyway...

[leedutcher]

so woulb be a good stunt bike set up 15g and a 41t?

[groff22]

I think that 15t/41t is the equivalent to going 14t front / 39t rear (stock)... Now, if you just want to do wheelies, yeah, that set up will get you off the ground. No matter what setup you have though, the GS isn't a very practical stunt bike by design ... In my opinion anyway. 

Cheers,
J

well it works pretty good for me...for now....is there any other motor compatable with our frams meaning if i want to put a bugger/ newer motor in there(with all the new wireing and ecu, ect)

[ben2go]

Just be aware that the GS oil pick up is in a position that when the front wheel is in the air the oil runs away from it.This can cause engine failure.
