I'm running 15t/41t, which is almost the same as 14t/39t, and am able to hit 105 indicated. You will be able to get to 75 with the 14t and stock rear.

But the gs500 is not really a good stunt bike at all...but you will want to raise your idle to 3k for stunting and probably run 14t/45t gearing for it to wheelie easily (sort of). Crash cage necessary, sliders on axles. No clue on the rear hand brake, you would probably be the first to do so. If you are serious about stunting, get an old (early 2000's) I-4 and go from there. There are stunt parts everywhere for them and they actually have the capability to stunt.

Look through the wiki for most of the questions you have. It is your friend and has most information on available mods and jetting info.

Wow... that's the first aftermarket exhaust I actually like the sound of.
If it isnt stupid loud, though.
I'm guessing it is.

14 tooth sprocket!!! Cheap as hell and will increase your low end tremendously. I'd start there. Mine was $11

mike1994

Yea i wantsd a f4i but were i live its 1300$ to plate it a year, thats why im nit buying a sports bike, no i wanted to know hoe i could get any exhaust to fit my bike, i found a slip on but its 50mm

mike1994

what would you guys think of a 15 sprocket?

gsatterw

Never just had a 15 with stock, always had it with the 41. but 15/41 is decently meaty down low. i would use 14/39 if ya wanna stunt worth a damn

mike1994

mike1994

also looking for descreat mirrors but with the ones for bar ends, wont they break if i ever drop the bike?

mike1994

Could you guys send me a link to some jets, dyno jets are 70$ plus shipinh witch is way to expensive for jets, i use to get them for like 5$ each, and what would you recomend as a starting poing for a slip on exhaust, i also wont be putting a p-flow i find its been useless in the past, what do you guys think? !

What tail lights would fit in this bulky hole? i found a few ATV lights but the light seems to small for the hole ??

gsatterw

Look on the wiki for proper jets for your year, then go to ebay and get them from nichecycles

with my setup listed below not once did I very feel the front end even get light.  Your going to want the smallest front and the largest rear sprockets you can get.  There are videos on youtube he is running IIRC 14/50 setup

Ya if you want the front end to lift at will you are going to need a pizza sized rear sprocket on there....

A 15 tooth a K&N, V&H and a light tank of gas and I could power wheelie at 6000ish RPM... 14T/45 would make it easy to pull up.
