Title: Upgrades
Post by: RyanClarke on April 03, 2008, 02:37:26 PM
So I finally got my bike out of the shop here in Colorado and got my first real ride of the season.  I have freshly cleaned carbs and a Honda CRF petcock in addition to the Katana wheel and 14t front sprocket I installed.  Let me tell you the GS rides like a dream with the new sprocket and Kat wheel with a 160 tire.  It pulls so much harder off the line and through every gear.  I HIGHLY recommend these 2 mods to all GS owners, the sprocket in particular.  It really makes the slow/sluggish GS far quicker and definitely makes me miss my R6 just a little less ;)
