Default sprocket swap- 2 up - rear & 1 down - front

anyone swap out sprockets to get more bottom end torque on a 6r? what is top speed decreased to ... 80 or 90 mph or closer to 130 or 140 mph??

That's exactly what I did and it's the perfect setup for tracks with shorter straights. For tracks with longer straights might require stock gearing. Top end is limited to about 145mph for the 07-08s.

I was 1 down 2 up on my 2005 636 and It would still run upwards of 150mph easily. You've got to have some serious stunt gearing to limit your top speed to 80 or 90...

Add one or 2 teeth the the rear. 1 down 2 up will be too much of a good thing....
