After adding teeth or taking teeth away is it nessesary to get a new map?

No and No. Depending on the change you could actually somewhat correct the speedo depending on the bike and where it was to begin with, but that's my whole point ; the Gen I is absoluetly gonna be off 3% to 10% from the factory. So if you want to correct your speedo buy something to do that with, but you've been dealing with an inaccurate one from the word go, so it's not necessary that you fix it now, but it might be something you wish to do.
 
Is it hard to replace the chain and rear sprocket or am I going to have to take it to the shop?

I have never done this before.
 
it looks pretty straight forward, i plan on doing it myself when my new (to me ) wheels come in... do you have the service manual? download it for free man, I don't have the link but I found it on here , do a search...

and when changing rear sprocket you should swap front one too. no sense in replacing the chain and rear when the front is still wore out. gonna wear out new chain/rear sprocket faster...

No it's not hard. You need a rear stand, a torque wrench(rear axle is 72.5 ft lbs) a dremel or grinder to remove the master link, as well as a chain press tool to seperate it and reinstall the new masterlink(a C clamp can be used). An impact wrench really helps when trying to remove the nut on the front sprocket(or a long 1/2"drive breaker bar), and it is a right hand thread. Break it loose first, before removing the chain, you need something to keep the sprocket from turning. The gen2 front sprocket nut and rear axle nut are both 36mm, I don't remember what the gen1 is. You'll also need a 10mm and a 12mm wrench, or two 12mm's, can't remember that either, for adjusting the chain slack. Also an 8mm or 10mm socket to remove the bolts from the front sprocket cover, and a 14mm for the rear sprocket nuts. If you have stock or dual mufflers, there's one nut where the pipe attaches to the header, and the one on the passenger peg.
Post your location, you may be near one of us who have the tools and would gladly walk you through it for free. It's a good thing to know how to do. If you don't have the tools needed, they are worth buying as they will pay for themselves and still save you alot in the long run as opposed to continuing to pay a shop. The service manual is a free download here, and the whole job is very simple.:beerchug:

This is also only a reference. Real world factors such as available hp/trq, wind, elevation, ect. all need to be considered. Just because you have a certain gearing doesn't mean the coresponding speeds are going to be what the bike will do.

Nice write up sixpack577, thanks:thumbsup:
 
i got a question for you since we are talking about gearing

i have 16/43 for drag racing
but i now have a extra rim for racing
so what gear could i put out back to get close to stock without changing the front 16
so all i have to do is change out the back tire for street and track
