i want to get a diffrent sprocket so i can pull wheelies wher and what kind do i need......
...
First off, I'd like to know where you want to pull wheelies at and what type of gear you'll be wearing. Just curious, that's all.

I think I've read this post from you elsewhere...like 18 other threads. :bowdown:
friends of mine tell me to go two up in the back and one down in the front...you'll prolly need a chain too...

uh oh, you gone and done it now. here come the safty nazis.
people on this board gennerally don't like to hear the word "wheelie"
personally I love wheelies, hell I did 2 or three today.
the tick is to avoid the word wheelie and say things like this;
'I need a new set of sprockets, and I'm interested in getting somemore low end power, what kind of sprockets should I get?"
also avoid the words;
stunting
stoppies
lezbians
and anything relating to the sale of guns
It's not that he wants to do wheelies, it's that he doesn't exactly come across as very intelligent when he says it. I mean, "I want sprockets to do wheelies" is fine, but you don't really NEED sprockets to do them. Learn to do them on a stock bike, I think. That'll teach you some skills.
Personally, it doesn't sound like he has the required skills to do wheelies if he thinks that you have to have aftermarket sprokets to perform wheelies. If I were you, I would not be trying wheelies any time soon. Better alive and capable of thought then pulling your first wheelie, landing wrong, then never being able to pull another wheelie cause your broke your neck and became paralized from the neck down. Just my opinion.

True. Very true!
It does take quite a bit of skill to keep up a descent wheelie on a stock GS. I remember when I first started trying to do them, I couldn't figure out how people did them on the GS. After trying and trying I finally got it, and I'm still working on it. Practice makes perfect!

Get a smaler 1 in the back and a biger 1 in the front. :thumb:
Rev that shaZam! up and drop that clutch out. BAM!
I always thought that A larger front and smaller rear = less torque. :dunno_white:
am i wrong?
wheelies r fun, i've always just dropped the clutch, WHICH IS BAD! lately its much harder to get the front up, prob. clutch wear and tear. p.s. dont try to do a stoppie on a GS, they tend to break wrists when you do.

wrong. stunters use the gs500 to learn to stunt on. they put really big rear sprockets on so they can easily get the front up, without clutching it. they do this to learn balance point. When I was selling my gs I was approached by several people that wanted to do that. I didnt sell to them because...they were cheap bastards and were offering me 50% of my asking price.
jason1080-if you want to be able to pull wheelies/stunt for fun (hopefully off the road) AND ride the bike normally around town you'll need to stick with near stock gearing or -1front/+2 rear is usually the way people go. Stunters add +5 or more to the rear to get the front to come up easily but that makes the bike inpractical to ride on the street.
What exactly are you trying to do?

But, that's because he didn't have the front tire in the air.

For one, they were not drops, they were crashes, and why do you have to keep rubbing that in my face? Yes I crashed my bike twice, its not like I was doing stupid sh!t when it happened either time. Just riding on crapy tires, witch I guess is stupid... :icon_rolleyes:. Well you know what I mean; they were not stunting related crashes.
And two, scratch is right, they probably wouldn't have happened if I was doing a wheelie. :laugh: they both happened around corners and I can only do wheelies in a straight line. Not to mention that my front tire is way worse than my rear tire so keeping it off the ground can only improve things. hmmm... I like this idea, I'll just have to ride everywhere on one wheel to avoid crashing; now there's some logic I like!!

Does that require a new chain?.....how bad is your top end suffer? If my bike is "running out" of gas after 10 minutes at 80 mph if not set to "prime" do I have to worry about having problems at 60 mph when I do that?
The GS's 6th is too long anyway, you probably lose nothing. Mileage (and therefore 80 mph problem) will suffer some, but not terribly, since you'll need less gas for the same RPM (less resistance)

Learn to do a wheelie by clutching it up. You don't need sprockets.
You can get 'em from any Suzi Parts dealer. A 15t on the front is enough of a change that you'll notice it, but not enough that it'll screw up the gearing.
