What size sprockets?

gottschlichb · 09-08-2008, 10:12 PM

I am in need of new sprockets so i figured i might as well up grade the sprockets and chain. I have a 97 gsxr 600 with stock procket sizes 16-45. I was thinking about getting 15-46? is there any suggestions on what i should do. i would like to get more power out of my bike. Also is the best brands to go for?
thanks

go 15-47 1 down 2 up. you wont get power more but it will change your gearing to make it seem liek that. youll have more low end grunt but will loose some top end. i did the same on my 02 gix 6. i love it. i have vortex sprockets on mine and a gold chain. shop around and see what you can get a good deal on. you will love this mod. youll the accelereation and if you liek to wheelie it makes it that much easier too.

Just keep in mind going -1 front is like going 3 up on the rear.
if you're doing -1 & +2 is like doing +5 on the rear. The gearing will def be different. You'll have alot more acceleration top end will drop about 30-40mph

PM me and i'll get you a great deal on the package. We do alot of ordering for Vortex sprockets and RK chains.

wow thats alot of top end speed gone. im not sure if i want that. i want it quicker but i also love to go and see what the bike is made of on the open road! what do u think would be the best comprimise. i do mostly cruising around town but i also take my bike back and forth from school. Thats like 2 hours of highway driving one way!

What's your top end speed? 160? so you go down to what 130? you seriously ride over 110 mph everyday?

If anything just do 1 down on the front you'll be fine.

I think i am going to go one down in front and 1 up in rear. That sounds like a good happy medium!

not sure what chain you have on there now 525 im guessing but i would go to a 520 there is a decent weight difference and it will help with acceleration.. less rotating mass
