+3 rear
even better when combined with an ecu flash
Really makes the bike more agressive

Nice choice how are the wheelies & added grunt from stock.

hello Nastee , as you know my bike is stretched and lowered front and rear. only I feel my bike trying to wheelie in hard launch. But it is very aggressive and I feel the power!! I love this combination because I can ride my bike in the highway with no problem. In regards gas mileage obviously it is not the same as stock but in really enjoy my ride!!

That must be quite a handful to get use to!! What rpm are you launching at?

Figured speedo healer or on the list?

How aggressive coming up? I now how you get down with it. I know the fdr #s but real life pull can be big would you go higher than +3?

Roger that, speedo healer coming soon!!
Well, I had no problem wheelieing it stock, but the +3 alone was noticeable, then the flash added more timing lower in the rpm.
So, with a fast half twist of the throttle, it power wheelies easily.
I could go 80-100mph in 4th, let of the gas for a split second, then nail it wide open...a d it would power wheelie about a foot in the air.
As for regular, balanced wheelies, it just felt more fun +3 for me, as well as feeling noticeably quicker accelerating.
2nd gear wheelies balance at 100-120mph if you don't slow it down first too, then they'll hang around 70-80mph.
1st are 60-70mph, again unless you slow them down, and I'm not very good below 30mph anyway(I need a stuntbike for that, and that's in the future too).
As for bigger than 46, I personally wouldn't, as 17/43 to 18/46, and any combination of either and anything in between, all fit the stock length chain.
The Toad and the old Pirate both run/ran 47t rears, but also ran 55 series tires, so equivalent to a 45.5-46 with a 50 series for overall gearing.
Going any lower is going to give the bike more of a tractor feel to it, torquey noticeably lacking top end.
With 18/46 and a 50 series tire, you still have a 175+mph top end too.
Swap back the 43 and it's capable of 197mph(gen2, restrictions removed)
Needs a 16 front now...stunt bike gearing!
I tried -1/+3 17/46
on my gen2
Stupid quick, and lots of fun, but the throttle response became like a light switch from idle, and very twitchy on/off the throttle.

I'ts really pretty smooth. Depending on the track I usually launch at 4500. Never higher then 5000. The Gixxer has a pretty high 1st gear. Once you get thru 1st. you are banging the button pretty fast. I shift at 11.5 on the 1/8 and move my shift point up to 12.625 when I run the 1/4.
