i could be wrong but gearing won't give you more hp, it makes the torque the bike already makes more usuable

Correct in that it doesn't add any power but by having a smaller sprocket, its the equivalent of swapping to a shorter geared trans in a car. When putting in a smaller gear on any motor, it will produce more torque than the larger gear it replaces.

Op didnt specify what they were doing but most want to feel faster... drop.a tooth in the front, go up two I'm the back and you'll get the feel you're looking for.

LMAO S3aturnR Lol...

I just want a bit more power and peek in the 750. I love that its light and nimble. The 1000 is just to torquey and it lifts up on my in 1-4 gear when i get on it. and maybe to mention, its not my track bike its my street bike... But sooner or later "about 2yrs" it will turn into my track bike and my CBR did...

But yea, I think im gonna leave it as is and just maybe go 0,+2 rear sprocket and get the R6 throttle tube on it... Also gonna get the Galfer SS lines and BREMBO 19x18 m/c.

Another vote for a 1000 if you are just looking for highway speed. I did all kinds of stuff to my 750 and it still didn't come anywhere near the power of the stock 1000. Of course the 1000 does have a bit more weight and is harder to control in the twisties.

The 1000 doesn't actually weigh that much more then its smaller siblings.

step 1. sprocket change. -1/+2 and buy a motion pro revolving throttle kit with progrressive disk.

step 2. learn to ride at your local race track

step 3. save money for when you screw up @ said race track.

Unless you weigh 300+lbs, the 750 is plenty of bike. I dont really think HP is your issue, i think its the tame stock gearing that makes your bike feel heavy. Doing the sprocket change will make your bike feel 100 lbs lighter.

There is nothing that will make you feel better than passing a guy on a 1000 :)

Inexpensive = waste of time

i.e. don't waste your time and money. It's more than likely that skill (not HP) is what is a hindrance to your riding experience.

You'll spend more money than the difference in cost to a 1000, and you'll still be making less power. So at the end of the day what was the point?

$2500 for porting and headwork
$800-1000 for cams
$1000+ on a full exhaust system
$80 on an air filter
$250 on vstacks
$250 for a PCV or ZFI
$300 for custom mapping on a dyno

So after ~$5,500-6,000 you might be making close to 150hp (about 10-15 less than a 1000) and will have paid alot more in doing it. Not to mention all the downtime with your motor dropped out and shipped to the builder.

:stupid:

And the thing is, even after those thousands of dollars, you still won't be a better rider. You could spend 1/5th of that money on some quality instruction and be a hella lot faster than you would be if you spent all that money on parts.

I have been riding streets since 2005 and now I have a dedicated track bike and have done 3 track days in 2012 and going to get lots lots more in 2013. The GSXR750 is my street bike. I think im gonna go with -1 on the sprocket and keep it at OEM rear to start and feel it out. Im also gonna go with the R6 throttle mod.

To Be continued

After doing -1+2 to my L1 750 it made a huge difference over stock. You actually can stay in the power band so much better

I've been waiting this whole time for someone to mention a new set of LED lights or a couple vortex stickers. Don't waste your money on hard parts, stickers and accessories give you all the power for half the price...

LED lighting will add approx. 25 hp at all RPM
