Don't play around with the swing arm of the Pulsar...it will do more bad than good. Have travelled the path and returned happy. For experiences read here >>>

which version pulsar you have?classic,ug 1,2,3??
monoshock strict no no,
lets talk about sporcks now,
if sole purpose is stunting, go for 14t front,discover front sporck direct fit,
also look for 44t rear pulsar sporck(newer ones use it)olders had 42t.
if bike is classic pulsar dont play with swing arm,its already too good for stunting esp whellies,if ug version reduce wheelbase by 1",1.5".
any mods done to engine? consider em too.
have fun.....

@capnoty: Generally, don't mess with the sprocketing too much. The rule is: bigger sprocket at rear gives more pickup, while a smaller one at the rear gives a higher top speed. At the front, it's the opposite. Changing the front sprocket to even one teeth smaller/bigger is equal to changing four or five on the rear one, which is why it's easier to change the rear one. More control that way.
Reg. monoshock conversion, it's better not to do it because it will affect handling badly. A bike needs to be balanced, and most workshops do a bad job of converting to monoshock. I've spent time at these workshops, and the hack jobs that they do are appalling. Mostly, the swingarm is replaced with the Unicorn's and a top mount is welded to the frame. The airbox will have to be removed, which means you will have to buy a K&N or similar filter.
Reg. the exhaust, a straight pipe offers the least resistance, and is the best exhaust for a four-stroke. But it will also burn out your valves in regular use, and the noise will be unbearable after 15 minutes of riding. For best performance, buy a performance exhast from Tetrac or Proton.This sig made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. And if you don't know what that means, you're not old enough to. :D
