Welcome to the site, good to see you found the place.

what year is your bike?

And what does getting a smaller front sprocket do? Makes it wheelie more? What happens if you get a larger rear one?

Both make it wheelie more... The front sprocket teeth are normally said to have the effect of 3 rear teeth, however, its around a 2.4 ratio I think.

Ie, one down the front, is about 3 up at the back... going too small on the front can give you clearance issues with the chain, and depending on speedo drive, you can potentially have a mis-reading speedo... You end up with a faster accelerating bike (hence wheelies) and a lower top end, but when the bike does 300 or 290... well... really, who cares

I like the idea of the TRE modification. Budget will stop me going too far

that bikes got some balls. Sounds awesome out on the track, but surprisingly it isnt that loud when you're riding the bike. My friend said it looked like it was 'on rails' and it felt that way, being able to roll smoothly up and down through 2nd gear for the large part of the track meant the suspension was allowed to do its thing and deal with the bumps and lay the power down.

Did manage to lift the front wheel underpower, but i must be fat because it didnt do it as much as i was expecting... still got to 260kmh+ pretty fucking quick though!
