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.

[@smc2811]

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. As always there is a trade off.Cheers!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I chose to use pitch as this is the term that is most commonly used and I felt the global message was more important. Depending on the bike there are 520 chains that will last longer than the 520 or 525 that came of the bike from the factory. There are some excellent 520 chains on the market, have been for a long time now. Maintenance also plays a big role in how long the drive train components last. - Van

[@johnrogers5825]

@@sportbiketrackgear So what do you call the actual pitch Brian? This could be getting confusing.

[@johnrogers5825]

Just checked, and Salvador was correct. Pin to pin is pitch around the world. I'll stick with that as it is not confusing; you should too rather than giving information that suits you. Not having a go man, just my opinion and I believe constructive criticism.

[@davidjames1684]

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.

[@macontrack499]

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.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I like the gearing choice you made, prefer to use a smaller sprocket in the rear when it is appropriate. - Van

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

hi there awsmmmmmm video...what would you recommend for tiger xrx?? need some acceleration excitement.? than ks in advance

[@marcusaureliusss]

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?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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

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!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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

[@ih8momjokes1]

So if I enlarge the gearing for higher top speed. Will it show a slower speed than indicated?

[@DJG_Official]

@STG I have a few questions brotha one being , that my bike currently has a Driven Chain Sprocket , as of recently I feel that the chain is done.... it slaps around in 1st and sometimes 2nd Gear , my question is this the sprocket itself looks fine but I’m not sure how that front On is looking as it feels like the slippage and slapping is right under that cover , any how local mom and pop shop says I have to change everything with each chain change , is this particularly true with each change or just when chain AND sprocket are toast ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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?

[@QDADDY6]

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

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!

[@crackerican69]

Sean Hunt i believe it would be the opposite. Up one tooth in the front and down in the rear. I went from a 14/45 F/R to a 15/42 F/R on my Ninja 250. It dropped the highway rpms a bit and I got slightly better gas mileage.

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?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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

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.

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.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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

That gearing is pretty short IMO and will reduce your top speed by 10-15 mph. I do not usually recommend anything more than -1 front and +2 rear. As for the feel of the shift from first to second a gearing change will not have any real impact on that. - Van

This effects all gears to differing extents as they all transmit power through the final drive. There's some difference gear to gear just because each gear has it's own ratio that applies.

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.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

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

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

I want to increase my acceleration on my R3. I don't care about top end as long as I can do my speed limits around 60-75. Never feel too safe going too fast on 2 wheels but I sure do love accelerating fast. What would you suggest?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you want more quicker acceleration I would shorten up the gearing and go with a rear sprocket 2 or 3 teeth larger than the OEM one. So like a 14/45 or 46. Vortex Chain Kits The HFRS uses 14/46 gearing with steel rear sprocket The HFRA uses 14/46 gearing with aluminum rear sprocket www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vortex-yamaha-yzf-r3-15-17-v3-chain-and-sprocket-kit/ www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vortex-yamaha-yzf-r3-15-17-v3-2-0-gold-chain-and-sprocket-kit/ Driven R3 Chain Kit listing on our site allows you to choose any combo you want www.sportbiketrackgear.com/driven-520-chain-and-sprocket-kit-yamaha-yzf-r3-15-17/ - Brian Van
