What a difference

2008 YZF-R6

Last night I rode a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 that we are using for an upcoming story. We dropped one tooth in the sprocket in the front and went two teeth up in the rear. What a difference!


I rode a stock R6 last year for about 3 months and didn't really care for it on the street. The power was so far up in the RPMs it was virtually unusable. The R6 I rode last night was totally different. The one-down, two-up sprocket set up put the power right within in reach and made the bike a joy to ride. Sprockets maybe be dollar for dollar the best mod you can make for a bike. What do you think?
