Easy 2nd gear wheelies and gets the bike working as it should have come from the factory.
Cost $75.
I, of course, am still improving as a rider, so may not do this just yet, but I am curious about the non-oring chain...are you replacing it for weight, for some other performance reason or because it won't work with the 13T?

Thanks!
Simply less rolling resistance, its an old 125cc 2 stroke MX trick
There is a HP lost right there with an Oring chain,
if anyone does not believe me, try and spin your rear wheel on the stand.
Then spin a bike with a non Oring chain.
remember we only have 23 precious HP to play with so everything counts.

Thanks for these.
Any perceived loss of midrange power after grinding the exhaust header collar smooth?
Also I'd be interested in your thoughts on tyre choice please?
If I were to change the sprocket, grind down (what I assume is) the opening to the header, but not change the muffler or the o-ring chain, would I get a significant performance boost? If so, at what cost? Fuel economy? Increased engine strain? Are there other negative side effects? I don't have the money for a slip-on right now, so these lower cost mods have appeal to me. I just don't want to screw up my bike in the process.
I do NOT want to derail this thread, so please only reply to my questions if you have actually performed the mods I am thinking of doing. Thanks in advance!

Are there any downsides to using a non-O-Ring chain? Does it need more maintenance or more frequent change intervals?
Roughly added together, you have shaved off about 25 lbs
Very nice thread, and although I need alot of that stuff to stay legal on the street, you have given us some good ideas of how to get the most out of this bike.
