600cc need all the gearing they can get -1f +2r sprocket to start.
Yep, that's exactly the gearing change we made on it. Fun when we got to Southern Missouri and NW Arkansas, most of the time you could just leave it in 4th and go.

To keep ourselves in check on the street, we took the motto that if you had to use the brakes you were riding too fast. IE, banging gears when it's straight to nail the brakes and downshift for the corners.

Just keep it nice and smooth. But I haven't ridden in years since I wrecked at the track and ended up with post-concussion syndrome. It's terrible.
