First off, I bought a bone stock 03 with 4k miles. I've put 500 miles on a Busa. I'm military, live and work on base. 2 turns on my 5 mile commute. I like acceleration more than twisties.
I've done small box, tre, iridium plugs, removed pair, and about to put friends headers and mids with undecided mufflers on it, power commander to come. Dropped 1 up front and 1 in rear.
Wanting torque on a budget, I want to do sprockets. I understand 1 down 2 up 16/42 I can keep my stock chain. I don't get out on the highway much and I'm mainly in the city, I have a line on new nearly free steel 16/45 or 16/48. My budget is ZERO so I don't want buy a chain if I can help it.
Can I buy links for my low mileage chain with these gears?
Will these gears cause the bike to be too jerky, throttle sensitive, or overly wheelie prone?
I know I will get raked over coals for the last question. so to clarify my concern is decreased driveability as to make the bike unpleasant to ride.
I'm not worried about mileage. I'm not worried about front sprocket wear.
Advice or words of caution appreciated. Criticisms and insults expected : )
