Hey Brian, thanks for the info but you have confused pitch with width, when you change from a 525 or 530 to 520 you don't change pitch it stays the same since pitch is the distance between pins, what you change is the width of the chain and sprockets effectively reducing the rotational mass of the system, that is why racers prefer 520's but they will also wear out faster.

One of the high points of having a mechanical speedo that works off the hub is that the only change that is going to affect your odometer is changing the OD of the wheel the speedo is attached to. And if you go bigger, it's gonna read low. No words about performance...lol.
Brian Van you are the Man! I’m building a track 750 and trying to guess front rear sprockets for a alloy 520 kit while going from a 55 to a 60 profile rear is doing my head in. Dropping one tooth on the front using stock 525 chain and rear sprocket costs stuff all and takes the guess work out of it.
Divide the front tooth by the rear tooth and get the ratio. 👍🏼 On my 13 R1 stock is 17f 47r. 0.361 i wanted a little more acceleration but not hurting the top speed too much. A 17f 49r (+2r) is 0.347. Little too much for me. So in trying to save some rotating weight i went 16f 45r (-1, -2) 0.356 which is a hair closer to stock than a 17f 48r (+1r) 0.354 also went with a vortex front and rear steel sprocket and rk 520 chain.
Man I love Vance! Thanks for the video man. Interestingly enough for once thx to YT for recommending this video. I’m upgrading my stock R1 sprockets to quick accel kit.
Actually the sprockets I settled on (after trying some more radical combos), was +1, +11 which was still good for about 150 MPH top speed. I actually went from a 17-525 front to 18-520 front. The rear went from 39-525 to 50-520. That seemed to be the "perfect" compromise for my style of riding. Notice that to "gear" a bike down, you can actually increase the # of teeth on the front sprocket, as long as you compensate with the rear sprocket as I did. That 18-50 combo was a LOT of fun. My sportbike days are over but I still tinker with sprockets. My favorite is Supersprox stealth. To help "prove" that reducing rotating mass only makes a difference if it is reasonably "far" away from the center of rotation, ask yourself why doesn't SuperSprox make a dual metal front sprocket with steel teeth and an aluminum carrier. That is the reason why. It is not worth the effort cuz the performance gain would not even be noticeable. Even the rear sprocket performance gain is minimal but they look so cool.
If you go down in the front sprocket, check the chain wear on the guide and make sure it won't wear into the swingarm. I'm thinking of just adding +2 rear on my Daytona600 to have some fun and play it safe. Thanks!
Keep in mind that going to a smaller front sprocket makes the chain wear faster because it has to make a tighter circle! It`s more expensive and more labor, but for long haul durability always go bigger on the rear sprocket instead.
I have a 2013 Honda Cbr600rr ABS mode( the full red fairings). What sprocket kit, chain, should I buy??. Preferably from VorteX, RG, etc.. A nice, smooth, quick acceleration is what is needed. Not to wheelie or to race etc..

I have done that myself in the past and really liked it. - Van
Please bear with me but I’m still a bit unsure of the links that you’ve sent. I’m not seeing the option to choose a 44 rear & 15 front. Which of the links should I purchase & what kind of chain?. I want a steel sprocket. I wish you could put it in a cart & let me just pay for it😄
I just noticed the guy that owned my gsxr 1000 before me had put on a Vortex 45 tooth sprocket. Now I know what’s been bothering me since I bought it. It’s so jerky in 1st gear. And on the freeway I get sort of a chain lash jerk at cruising speeds while trying to also maintain the same speed. I didn’t even know they went as high as 45! It was perfect stock for ME when I owned 2 of these in the past. I don’t want to accelerate faster at the expense of screamin on the freeway in 6th gear. I feel like I’m on a 600 by comparison.
I'm probably one of the few CBR1000RR owners that is strictly a touring rider. 20,000+ Km's per year. I ride one up and try to keep my packed gear weight reasonable. After 15+ years on my FJR by comparison, the CBR has terrible fuel range. I could mount a small auxiliary tank but would prefer not to. On the CBR, I hit reserve at about 150 miles. If I went up one tooth on the front and down 1 tooth on the rear, would that make much difference in fuel range or would the engine just be working harder at any given speed due to the gearing and burn just as much gas ?
Great video as always. I’m getting new wheels and will need a new rear sprocket (the size & pitch will remain the same). The bike is a 2021 & the chain has roughly 7,000 miles. Would you recommend replacing the set or can I get away with just replacing the rear? Thanks!!
At 7,000 miles I would most likely replace the chain and the front sprocket. You do this with the wheels you are good to go for a long time. That said if the rear sprocket is in good shape now odds are you can reuse the chain and get some more miles out of it. - Van
I bought my bike used and it had a 530 chain and 525 sprockets. I said fuck it and rode it as is and it wore the sprocket out pretty fast. You could take the chain and slide it left and right on the sprocket a couple mm
hello sir, i got 2019 r3, any suggestions on rear sprocket teeth? on how many to add or don't add at all?? looking for good acceleration for my r3.. 🙏 any suggestions is helpful.. 🙏
Hi Brian, Awesome Video, when adding 2 teeth to rear sprocket, do i need to replace the entire set? if i only change sprocket, will the chain be too tight?
Really depends on how much chain adjustment you have available. Odds are you can add 2 teeth to the rear without a new chain. Take a look and see how much adjustment you have available before you order the sprocket. If you are in the middle or towards the back you will be good to go. - Van
Here is a link for the sprockets we offer for your bike on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/parts/honda/vtr1000f-superhawk/1998?_bc_fsnf=1&Department=Sprockets+and+Chain+Kits
Maybe I missed it, 2012 GSXR 1K adding two teeth in the rear. Obviously max performance for any mod you need a power commander or some type of engine management system. If exhaust and chain is all the bike has should I get a power Commander. I see now the answer just want some professional thoughts from the experts. Thank you for your time !!!
You do not need to install a fuel controller when replacing the sprockets on the bike, this has no affect on fueling. When installing a full system on the bike you will need to install a fuel controller of flash the ecu to get the maximum benefit from the exhaust you installed. - Van
The only thing you missed in my opinion is describing the difference and pros and cons on o-ring and x-ring chains. I have heard the x-rings last longer and are stronger than the o-ring. Also, how much top end would you lose when doing a "go fast" conversion? For instance the chain and sprocket sizes on my R6 are stock and I feel like it accelerates fine and my top end is still near the 150-160 range which is faster than i tend to go lol. Basically i want to know how much I'll actually lose. Will i be at 140 or less? Great video nonetheless. Not sure why you don't have more subscribers lol
Hi, I went to the shop to order 520 conversion kit -1 front + 2 rear. (Stock 2016 R1 currently 16 front 41 rear) Shop owner convinced me to order a 520 chain with 16 front (same as stock) 45 rear (+4) So I’ve ordered the same size front and +4 rear with 520 chain. Do you see any issues with this? Edit: Also. Thank you so much for your videos. They have helped me a lot with the R1!! Saved me some $$$ and helped me gain experience/ confidence working on the bike.
Might be tempted to go down 2 on the front and up 2 on the rear on my 08 ZX6R - already have the speedo healer on there as stock it's out by almost 10 mph at higher speeds
I have a CBR600rr 2020 I did on mine -1 (front) +2 (Back) just got it done today. honestly I really don't know if I like it? Bike is running hot. I didn't feel more power from tha line. just tha Bike is hotter that's tha only thing I Noticed. when I rode tha bike home I was considering already going back to stock
This should not have any affect of the temp the bike operates at. If you have an issue with operating temp you need to look at the cooling system. - Van
Another very informative video. Awesome stuff, you guys. I have a question: if you leave the front sprocket with the stock teeth (16) and change the rear (45) with a larger 47 teeth, will this not stress the chain on bikes that don't have much slack from the factory, say a Yamaha MT-09 which has 110 number of links? Is it a good idea to increase the number of links to say 112 or 114 along with the sprocket changes mentioned above?
It really depends on how much adjustment you have available. If you want to reuse the OEM chain and shorted the gearing up I would suggest dropping one tooth on the front before adding teeth to the rear. You will want to keep the wheel base as long as possible on the MT09 so it does not turn into a total wheelie machine. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I just got my bike back, from my mechanic, 1- 2+.. I already had 1- on the front.. but decided to add 2 on the back, as I was due for a major service and sprocket change,,, already had a speedo heeler, and got an xring red chain and a red super sprox put on and took it for a small ride yesterday, with new dunlop mutant tires I actually love it , I ride a cbr1000rr
Sorry about asking a question on an older video! I have a 2011 r1 and want more acceleration,will going up two on the rear screw up my wheel base,or not an issue with a new chain? Currently stock gearing is 17-47! PS I’m also in Michigan and STG has always been spot on with my orders🙏
Appreciate your support! If you want to keep the wheelbase longer I would go down 1 in the front and 1 down in the rear with a 120 link chain. This will get you the gearing you want without shortening the wheelbase too much. Here is a link to a Driven kit on our site where you can choose your own gearing. www.sportbiketrackgear.com/driven-520-chain-and-sprocket-kit-yamaha-yzf-r1-98-14/ - Brian Van
I bought that Vortex HFRS kit from Sportbiketrackgear.com. I thought it would come with 1 down front 2 up rear sprockets. When I received the item it came stock front +3 rear. I decided to just try it and installed it. Acceleration is great. A little loss in top end. I also bought the speedhealer. Waiting for that video to install mine. I used all of Van's videos to perform pretty much every upgrade on my 2015 R3.
XBuster on the R3 one down in the front and plus two in the rear would have been too extreme so they went with plus three in the rear. We will edit our listing to note this. Thanks for the heads up and your business. - Van
You can add 2 teeth to the rear sprocket or drop 1 tooth in the front. This will cost you a little bit of top end but help is accelerate a little faster. - Van
I have a 2007 cbr600rr. I am learning on a go kart track. I would like to go from a 16 front to a 14 and 42 rear to 48. I am getting out pulled out of corners bad. My bike has very strong engine braking (too strong for such low speeds) will this make it worse.
This will not change the engine braking assuming you are in the same RPM range when you roll off the throttle or downshift. FYI it may be easier to install a smaller front sprocket than go up 6 teeth in the rear. Perhaps split the change between the front and the rear by going down 1 in the front and up 3 in the rear. - Van
There are several great sprocket brands. While Afam is a good brand we do not feel they are any better than Vortex or Driven. We are using Vortex on all of our race and track bikes with excellent results. - Van
For most every sportbike when you are installing a chain and sprocket kit you will start with a 120 link chain and cut the length during the install when you set the position of the axle. - Van
Im stuck on what to do with my 2006 gsxr 1000. Its time to change everything. Im not sure if i want to go -1 +1 or just leave it stock. I want better acceleration but no wheelie machine
I would go with a 520 kit with a steel rear sprocket for added life. As for the gearing really depends on how aggressive you want to be. Most aggressive change would be 2 up in the rear and 1 down in the front. If you want a little quicker acceleration but want to preserve as much top end as you can go with 1 down in the front and OEM size rear. Your bike comes with a 16 tooth front and a 43 tooth rear from the factory.

Without seeing the bike and assuming you have some room left for chain adjustment you should be able to install a front sprocket 1 tooth larger than stock. The only way to know if this is the change you are looking for is to install it and ride the bike. - Van

I have a suzuki bandit 1250 and it accelerates like a ROCKET off the line, cant imagine going up 2 teeth on the back sprocket to make it accelerate more ?
I have a question about a kit I purchased from you guys. My stock front sprocket on my CBR600RR had rubber dampers attached to it. Should I reinstall those rubber dampers on my new Driven front drive sprocket?
If you want quicker acceleration and want to avoid it being a total wheelie machine I would go with a 16 tooth front sprocket (OEM is 17 tooth) and a 42 tooth rear sprocket (same size as stock). Vortex has 520 kits with either steel or aluminum rear sprockets that come with either a black or gold chain. If you want steel choose the "GFRS", prefer an aluminum rear sprocket go with the "GFRA" option.

I have an R6 2017 which is otherwise stock. I love to just ride with my mates on a winding road. I do want the bike to be comfortable on highway cruising speeding .. sup to 120 km/hr (i supposed 75 mph). Do you think going -1/+2 will reduce drive ability at cruising speeds... will the bike be sitting in very high RPM range and will it be jerky on the throttle especially at cruising speeds. I realize I would also be able to utilise the Modes A/std/B to adjust throttle response to suit riding style as well.
-1 and +2 should work well for how you are riding the bike. The change is not so great that it would have any negative impact on the performance. - Van

Hey! I bought a pocket bike a few weeks ago and it arrived on December 29, 2017. The bike was great, until the chain popped off the next day! I was aggravated, so my dad hit up my uncle who isn’t a mechanic but is really good with motorcycles, and he aligned everything, but after about 50 minutes of riding it the chain popped off again and we don’t know the problem. If you could respond with some helpful details or a solution, I would be very thankful and it would be much appreciated, THANKS!
If the pocket bike is a Chinese pocket bike I bet the chain is weak and stretching excessively. Try purchasing a better chain and installing it on the bike. - Van
I am not trying to be sarcastic. Having driven / rode - bikes for years. I wanted to enulate a 1968 Triumph Tiger or a 750 Bonney. So I bought my dream bike - a Kawa 750 twin, just like the Bonnie.

Hi there! I have two questions : 1. What is the best chain brand? 2. I weight 137KG and currently riding a honda cb400 super 4, what chain sprocket combo do you recommend?
If you replace one sprocket do you need to change both? Or can I just do a front sprocket and chain only? I’m 45 teethe on my fz09 and I want to go 48-50
If you want to gear for more top speed, one tooth more on the front is ok, rarely two. Because the front sprocket should only deviate one tooth down or up from factory gearing, for best results in most cases with most motorcycle gear boxes. Most larger road motorcycles benefit from going down one tooth on the front, for a bit more punch. If you are on a smaller cc bike that revs too high at your cruising speed in top gear, then you can go up just one tooth on the front. Remember how sprockets will affect chain length, and it's better to take off a few links, cos adding is dumb. Have chai adjuster blocks all the way forward before working out length, as chains stretch and you have to adjust it out. Keep in mind chain length if you want to be able to swap sprockets for different applications. One tooth either way on the front, gives for least chain adjustment, and you can usually get away with not cutting the chain. Just think about it first, and always set chain tension when sitting on a bike, as it tightens when you sit on it, then further when you compress the rear shock over a bump.
I want to change the gearing on my 2014 Ducati Monster 1200S. Currently running stock gearing, what do you guys recommend? Also, will I need a speedohealer? PS: Huge fan of the channel!
Not super familiar with Ducati's to be fair. Does your bike have ABS brakes? How do you feel about the gearing you have now? Do you want the bike to come off the line a little quicker and easier?
@@sportbiketrackgear Van, it’s the other way around. Larger front sprocket for more top speed, at the expense of acceleration. Smaller rear sprocket for more top speed, at the expense of acceleration. And/or both together, at the expense of acceleration.
I’m switching my stock gearing to a 520 setup. However I ordered an aluminum rear sprocket and an aluminum front sprocket from STG and they sent me a steel front sprocket instead of the aluminum. Can I use a 520 steel front sprocket w a 520 chain and aluminum rear sprocket? Thanks

The more sensible question is ( outside of using it on the drag race track)..WHY would you want to or think you need to have more acceleration than 0 to 6 mph in less than 3 seconds? Chris, 20mph per second is already just as fast or close enough to a damn tesla model s. And don't tell me " to be safe and get away from cagers at red lights.." bullshit.

Actually the sprockets I settled on (after trying some more radical combos), was +1, +11 which was still good for about 150 MPH top speed. I actually went from a 17-525 front to 18-520 front. The rear went from 39-525 to 50-520. That seemed to be the "perfect" compromise for my style of riding. Notice that to "gear" a bike down, you can actually increase the # of teeth on the front sprocket, as long as you compensate with the rear sprocket as I did. That 18-50 combo was a LOT of fun.

That is the reason why. It is not worth the effort cuz the performance gain would not even be noticeable. Even the rear sprocket performance gain is minimal but they look so cool.
If you go down in the front sprocket, check the chain wear on the guide and make sure it won't wear into the swingarm. I'm thinking of just adding +2 rear on my Daytona600 to have some fun and play it safe. Thanks!
On almost every model you can go down at least one tooth in the front from OEM and not have an issue. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thanks for the quick response. Decided to do the ol' -1/+2 520 Conversion with a bit of reassurance. Yeehaw!
Keep in mind that going to a smaller front sprocket makes the chain wear faster because it has to make a tighter circle! It`s more expensive and more labor, but for long haul durability always go bigger on the rear sprocket instead.
You are correct, this is something to consider especially if you want to go 14 tooth or less. With a 520 I prefer to stay 15 and up. - Brian Van

I have a 2013 Honda Cbr600rr ABS mode( the full red fairings).
What sprocket kit, chain, should I buy??.
Preferably from VorteX, RG, etc.. A nice, smooth, quick acceleration is what is needed. Not to wheelie or to race etc..

Please bear with me but I’m still a bit unsure of the links that you’ve sent. I’m not seeing the option to choose a 44 rear & 15 front. Which of the links should I purchase & what kind of chain?. I want a steel sprocket. I wish you could put it in a cart & let me just pay for it😄

I just noticed the guy that owned my gsxr 1000 before me had put on a Vortex 45 tooth sprocket. Now I know what’s been bothering me since I bought it. It’s so jerky in 1st gear. And on the freeway I get sort of a chain lash jerk at cruising speeds while trying to also maintain the same speed. I didn’t even know they went as high as 45! It was perfect stock for ME when I owned 2 of these in the past. I don’t want to accelerate faster at the expense of screamin on the freeway in 6th gear. I feel like I’m on a 600 by comparison.
I have my 2018 GSXR 1000 geared longer than stock and it is smooth as butter. - Van
hi there awsmmmmmm video...what would you recommend for tiger xrx?? need some acceleration excitement.? than ks in advance
I'm probably one of the few CBR1000RR owners that is strictly a touring rider. 20,000+ Km's per year. I ride one up and try to keep my packed gear weight reasonable. After 15+ years on my FJR by comparison, the CBR has terrible fuel range. I could mount a small auxiliary tank but would prefer not to. On the CBR, I hit reserve at about 150 miles. If I went up one tooth on the front and down 1 tooth on the rear, would that make much difference in fuel range or would the engine just be working harder at any given speed due to the gearing and burn just as much gas ?
I do not think the difference would be notable. - Van
Great video as always. I’m getting new wheels and will need a new rear sprocket (the size & pitch will remain the same). The bike is a 2021 & the chain has roughly 7,000 miles. Would you recommend replacing the set or can I get away with just replacing the rear? Thanks!!
At 7,000 miles I would most likely replace the chain and the front sprocket. You do this with the wheels you are good to go for a long time. That said if the rear sprocket is in good shape now odds are you can reuse the chain and get some more miles out of it. - Van

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
I bought my bike used and it had a 530 chain and 525 sprockets. I said fuck it and rode it as is and it wore the sprocket out pretty fast. You could take the chain and slide it left and right on the sprocket a couple mm

On the R3 I liked the OEM size front with one tooth smaller in the rear. This seemed to make 1st gear a little more useable. - Van
Hi Brian, Awesome Video, when adding 2 teeth to rear sprocket, do i need to replace the entire set? if i only change sprocket, will the chain be too tight?
Really depends on how much chain adjustment you have available. Odds are you can add 2 teeth to the rear without a new chain. Take a look and see how much adjustment you have available before you order the sprocket. If you are in the middle or towards the back you will be good to go. - Van
Hello, I just got a Honda VTR 1000 1998. Need new chain and front and rear sprocket
Here is a link for the sprockets we offer for your bike on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/parts/honda/vtr1000f-superhawk/1998?_bc_fsnf=1&Department=Sprockets+and+Chain+Kits
Maybe I missed it, 2012 GSXR 1K adding two teeth in the rear. Obviously max performance for any mod you need a power commander or some type of engine management system. If exhaust and chain is all the bike has should I get a power Commander. I see now the answer just want some professional thoughts from the experts. Thank you for your time !!!
You do not need to install a fuel controller when replacing the sprockets on the bike, this has no affect on fueling. When installing a full system on the bike you will need to install a fuel controller of flash the ecu to get the maximum benefit from the exhaust you installed. - Van
The only thing you missed in my opinion is describing the difference and pros and cons on o-ring and x-ring chains. I have heard the x-rings last longer and are stronger than the o-ring.
Also, how much top end would you lose when doing a "go fast" conversion? For instance the chain and sprocket sizes on my R6 are stock and I feel like it accelerates fine and my top end is still near the 150-160 range which is faster than i tend to go lol. Basically i want to know how much I'll actually lose. Will i be at 140 or less?
Great video nonetheless. Not sure why you don't have more subscribers lol

Another very informative video. Awesome stuff, you guys. I have a question: if you leave the front sprocket with the stock teeth (16) and change the rear (45) with a larger 47 teeth, will this not stress the chain on bikes that don't have much slack from the factory, say a Yamaha MT-09 which has 110 number of links? Is it a good idea to increase the number of links to say 112 or 114 along with the sprocket changes mentioned above?
It really depends on how much adjustment you have available. If you want to reuse the OEM chain and shorted the gearing up I would suggest dropping one tooth on the front before adding teeth to the rear. You will want to keep the wheel base as long as possible on the MT09 so it does not turn into a total wheelie machine. - Van

Sorry about asking a question on an older video! I have a 2011 r1 and want more acceleration,will going up two on the rear screw up my wheel base,or not an issue with a new chain? Currently stock gearing is 17-47! PS I’m also in Michigan and STG has always been spot on with my orders🙏
Appreciate your support! If you want to keep the wheelbase longer I would go down 1 in the front and 1 down in the rear with a 120 link chain. This will get you the gearing you want without shortening the wheelbase too much. Here is a link to a Driven kit on our site where you can choose your own gearing. www.sportbiketrackgear.com/driven-520-chain-and-sprocket-kit-yamaha-yzf-r1-98-14/ - Brian Van
Thanks for the reply Van,that’s exactly what I’ll do!
I bought that Vortex HFRS kit from Sportbiketrackgear.com. I thought it would come with 1 down front 2 up rear sprockets. When I received the item it came stock front +3 rear. I decided to just try it and installed it. Acceleration is great. A little loss in top end. I also bought the speedhealer. Waiting for that video to install mine. I used all of Van's videos to perform pretty much every upgrade on my 2015 R3.
XBuster on the R3 one down in the front and plus two in the rear would have been too extreme so they went with plus three in the rear. We will edit our listing to note this. Thanks for the heads up and your business. - Van
I have a 2020 kawasaki ninja 400 its a great bike but im looking to get more power out of it what do you recommend for a new chain and sprocket kit
You can add 2 teeth to the rear sprocket or drop 1 tooth in the front. This will cost you a little bit of top end but help is accelerate a little faster. - Van
I have a 2007 cbr600rr. I am learning on a go kart track. I would like to go from a 16 front to a 14 and 42 rear to 48. I am getting out pulled out of corners bad. My bike has very strong engine braking (too strong for such low speeds) will this make it worse.
This will not change the engine braking assuming you are in the same RPM range when you roll off the throttle or downshift. FYI it may be easier to install a smaller front sprocket than go up 6 teeth in the rear. Perhaps split the change between the front and the rear by going down 1 in the front and up 3 in the rear. - Van
What do you think about Afam sprocket kit? I have a honda vfr800 bike, I want to get the best.
There are several great sprocket brands. While Afam is a good brand we do not feel they are any better than Vortex or Driven. We are using Vortex on all of our race and track bikes with excellent results. - Van
What about 125cc? Sport bike thinking of getting a Suzuki gsxr 125 for a beginner bike and invest into (never ridden before)
I would just leave the gearing stock to begin with. You need to ride it enough to know if it needs to be changed or not. - Van
If im going with a large rear sprocket how do I figure out what chain length i need ?
For most every sportbike when you are installing a chain and sprocket kit you will start with a 120 link chain and cut the length during the install when you set the position of the axle. - Van

Thank you
I have a 2015 636 i commute everyday and ride weekends wich sproket and chain do i need for my bike thanks im from orange california
I would go with a 520 kit with a steel rear sprocket for added life. As for the gearing really depends on how aggressive you want to be. Most aggressive change would be 2 up in the rear and 1 down in the front. If you want a little quicker acceleration but want to preserve as much top end as you can go with 1 down in the front and OEM size rear.
Your bike comes with a 16 tooth front and a 43 tooth rear from the factory. Below are links to some kits on our site:

Is the stock Chain enough for replacing the F/17 Sprocket, or do i need to replace the chain as well.

Without seeing the bike and assuming you have some room left for chain adjustment you should be able to install a front sprocket 1 tooth larger than stock. The only way to know if this is the change you are looking for is to install it and ride the bike. - Van

For a gsxs 750 2015 what is your recommendation for acceleration i am not a wheelie guy
If you want quicker acceleration and want to avoid it being a total wheelie machine I would go with a 16 tooth front sprocket (OEM is 17 tooth) and a 42 tooth rear sprocket (same size as stock). Vortex has 520 kits with either steel or aluminum rear sprockets that come with either a black or gold chain. If you want steel choose the "GFRS", prefer an aluminum rear sprocket go with the "GFRA" option. Below are links to these kits on our site:

I have an R6 2017 which is otherwise stock. I love to just ride with my mates on a winding road. I do want the bike to be comfortable on highway cruising speeding .. sup to 120 km/hr (i supposed 75 mph). Do you think going -1/+2 will reduce drive ability at cruising speeds... will the bike be sitting in very high RPM range and will it be jerky on the throttle especially at cruising speeds. I realize I would also be able to utilise the Modes A/std/B to adjust throttle response to suit riding style as well.

Hey! I bought a pocket bike a few weeks ago and it arrived on December 29, 2017. The bike was great, until the chain popped off the next day! I was aggravated, so my dad hit up my uncle who isn’t a mechanic but is really good with motorcycles, and he aligned everything, but after about 50 minutes of riding it the chain popped off again and we don’t know the problem. If you could respond with some helpful details or a solution, I would be very thankful and it would be much appreciated, THANKS!

Sportbike Track Gear Hi Van, nope it is japanese and I believe only certain parts of asia and UK has it. I am from Singapore :)
Also down under! Oooh yeah.
If you replace one sprocket do you need to change both? Or can I just do a front sprocket and chain only? I’m 45 teethe on my fz09 and I want to go 48-50
If you want to gear for more top speed, one tooth more on the front is ok, rarely two. Because the front sprocket should only deviate one tooth down or up from factory gearing, for best results in most cases with most motorcycle gear boxes. Most larger road motorcycles benefit from going down one tooth on the front, for a bit more punch. If you are on a smaller cc bike that revs too high at your cruising speed in top gear, then you can go up just one tooth on the front. Remember how sprockets will affect chain length, and it's better to take off a few links, cos adding is dumb. Have chai adjuster blocks all the way forward before working out length, as chains stretch and you have to adjust it out. Keep in mind chain length if you want to be able to swap sprockets for different applications. One tooth either way on the front, gives for least chain adjustment, and you can usually get away with not cutting the chain. Just think about it first, and always set chain tension when sitting on a bike, as it tightens when you sit on it, then further when you compress the rear shock over a bump.
