Not much. I only saw about a 1k diffrence in rpms on the freeway. I am usealy at about 80ish on the freeway. I don't want any tickets. and Im right around 9k rpm. I have an 04 zx-6 so it might be a tad diffrent on your bike depending on the gearing.

How's your 1st gear with just going down 1on the front? Usually have to short shift to 2nd?

Figured -1 +2 is the best from all the reading. 1st just seems so peppy to beging with. Usually catch 2nd to start winding it out. Think I should hold 1st wide open and see when it comes up? [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Im going -1/+2, but im having a serious problem getting the nut on the front sprocket off. I'm curious, did you do it yourself or take it to the dealer? and if so how the hell did you get that nut off?...
