    your bike is a single cylinder 250 - it is going to vibrate whether you like it or not.

    front sprocket is about $20

    and yes, if you are gearing it up, so lower revs at high speed, you need to gain a tooth on the front, or drop one from the rear. still wont help fuel economy

    one tooth on the front will make a much more noticable difference than one on the back - i would strongly recommend only doing one tooth at a time!

    unless of course, you do the maths to quantify what the change will be

    It should be fine, it has been proven by many many MANY Japanese Volty owners. I think one of them worked out maths way before us.

    Yea can we? Very tiny turbo will do. I'm happy with 5bhp gain

    EDIT:Then I would call it G-Nax! It's got GN booost and do 0-100 in the speed of light!
