Here some odd Questions

[Deadlego]

How will the bike act with the rear being 3+ up from stock on the rear?? The Front sprocket is stock.

Have any of you all seen this on there engine? This is painted on my rear cylender. Do any of you all have this on yours?

the bike will feel much "peppier" and more fun to drive around town.

when you go on the hwy after driving around town.. you'll find yourself looking for 6th gear... but after a min or two on the hwy, you forget about it and just get used to the higher RPMs..

+1 Just what King Squidly said, It's WAY more peppier and responsive to throttle input. I'm not sure about the "16s" on the cylinder. Maybe a code from a machine shop on a previous engine job?

It gives you more snap off the line. I lost 5 mph top end when doing it. went from 125 to 120.

thats jut rust, steve. use some aluminum foil on it, it'll come right off.

If you're talking about the 16, I have no idea.

Gearing

On my hawks (including the race bike) I actually go up 1 on the front, and DOWN two on the back. This gears is much taller than stock and makes 3rd, 4th and 5th more usable.

The bike is still quite snappy, but you don't have to spin it at 5,000+ on the highway and at higher speeds.

Just my $.02.

As for the 16:
I dont have the exact markings, but I have noticed a few white paint pen marks on the engine that look factory. Mostly they are on the LH side of the engine, over top of the oil gallery seals, I guess to 'check them off' to ensure they all got sealed. In a few out of the way places, I have also noticed two letter stampings on the engine and frame,like initials from the assemblers.

Hey! 647 is Ryan Chapin! Cool! Dood, I freakin' love the MotoPeeps...

Adding a bunch of teeth to the rear is a stunter trick - the bike will wheelie easier.
