Smile Sprockets on the way!

Well I got another bike a few months ago. Its an 05 Kawi ZX6R. She weighs almost a hundred pounds less than my 955i and revs all the way out of the atmosphere. Long story short after riding the Kawi around for a few weeks I decided to break out my 05 955i for a week or so. Upon getting back on the saddle I realized this puppy doesn't pull nearly as hard as it should given the size of the engine so I did a bit of research and decided to order new front and rear sprockets for her. I went with -1 front +1 rear. They shipped out yesterday and will hopefully be here mid week next week. I cannot wait for them to arrive.

So in my anxious waiting (and boredom at work) I thought I'd share!

Cheers!

you will definately have a new bike once you get those sprockets on. Its gonna pull hard. Short, but hard....lol. Did you get a chain also? That should be replaced as well. Also is your kawi the 6 durty 6 or the rr? I had an 05 magma red 636. That bike was crazy fast, and fun as hell at the track. Shouldnt have gotten rid of it.

Actually I didn't get a new chain. The bike only has around 6-7K miles on it so I'm hoping it'll be fine for awhile then I'll upgrade a little further down the road.

The Kawi I have is a 636 and yeah its a fast lil bugger. I've got an Akra slip on, a power commander, and right many other mods I've done to it. That Akra sounds mean too. I wish I could pick up one for the Tona!
