This deserves a separate topic now...

Akra on the way. Bye bye with the "dangling nut bag arrester box" and replaced with link pipe and can.

Down 1 tooth front cog this week, later it will be up two on the back and std front with chain/sprocket change? This bike needs this IMO It isn't wild enough down low and too tall geared although deceptively smooth and quick as is, the melted BT016 are coming off and on with the Mtz racetek

When the PC and healer becomes available they will be fitted asap. Cant have enough usable power IMO and this bike has it in spades, I just demand more.....

Outside of that....... Friggin awesome, and after riding with Hammer (GSXR1000 current) in Qld over the weekend and both of us melting the 016's (they were great, just got way to hot and are the wrong tyre for both bikes) I am again blown away with the corner speed and how easy it is, just when you think you are at your limit for the road the bike encourages you to tip it in more and does it so easy

It gets better every time i ride it, or more to the point I am being shown the way by this bike

The 10R will make a better rider out of a good rider, and a dangerous rider out of an experienced rider.

May edition of Performance Bikes in UK says the 2011 ZX10R is a phenomenal bike: traction control, huge power and the best big bike chassis we’ve ever ridden. But it’s peaky, but a $50 mod can give it the midrange guts it deserves for roadbike use.

Drop the front tooth to 16 teeth drops over a second off the 80 to 160 kph acceleration, a 17.5% increase in performance for a 6.25% increase in gearing = more efficient. You lose 15 kph from the top speed but who’s going to notice that on Ozzie roads.

“The revs pick up earlier and the engine feels like someone’s sprinkled Tabasco into the fuel tank. Best of all, I found it more flexible and responsive below 7000 rpm. A race style can and remapping should assist those who still want more.” (Mark White and Emma Franklin – Performance Bikes, London)

16 tooth won't kill a chain much quicker, it's 14's that will.

dropped a tooth to 16 on my roadie when I had it. 25000kms later and the chain was still OK. Not great but OK ;)

Any more than that on a well ridden 10r and it should be replaced anyways ;)

Yup, if I ever buy another sports bike I'll ride it straight to the mechanic to have a tooth dropped on the front, it makes THAT much of a difference!

I wouldn't be worried about the cost of a chain 2,000km earlier for a $20,000 toy ;)

Would you need a speedo healer if dropping to a 16th tooth sprocket?

You don't need it. But your speedo will be out a bit. They are like 10% out stock, it will make it about 15% out

Does the TC on the 11 model run off output shaft speed.....or wheel speed? Just wondering if the change in gearing is gonna throw it out.
