Crucialval had 13 and 39 106 link chain.1st gear was all but useless and 6th gear was like 4th.Highway riding was hell.Last I herd from Val,he had sold his bike,abandoned the forum and moved.  :dunno_white:

I've got a 14t front sprocket and it power wheelies without a problem, even with my big ass :icon_rolleyes:  of course having double+ the Tq may be a factor there.

My hubby can power wheelie my GS with the 14t and the rejet, but he only puts the front up about 2 feet then drops it down in first. He's afraid of looping it because he's not used to the bike and he usually rides dual sports = different geometry. He has a 14t cs and I think a 47-49 on the rear on his DR650, so that's more of a stunting set up. He wheelies that pretty regularly, but his best wheelie machine was his 1985 XL350, it was a torquey sob and he could wheelie it for a mile.   8)

I can't even wheelie my MTB anymore, and I used to be able to do it for a few yards. I'm getting to old for that stuff I guess.   :cry:
