sorry my post was retarded... - F is the same as +R so usually -1F is +2 Rear...

well you don't usually wanna go more than -1 on the front because it's such a small sprocket it means loosing a tooth makes the bend the chain does very tight... it can cause your chain to fail.

I did -1 f +2 rear and it was a pretty drastic change... killed my mileage... but was fun. if I was to do it all again I'd probably leave the stock gearing... maybe go + 1 or 2R and that's it


also if you've done -1 on the rear means your geared up... better mileage... and less acceleration... but higher top speed.
