    Take a look here:

    You can start with the front sprocket, and later change the rear sprocket - No problem with the stock chain...

    thanks for your kind reply
    im also thinkin about installing pipe-airbox-chip(aprillia) in a few months,
    they promished me 14hp in the rear wheel(dought it)
    do you reckomend this gearing or the previews one with the 17t sprocket?

    I'd recommend the 16t front sprocket at the very least......I have also tried it with a 44t rear and that's 'wheelie' good
