Honda CB500F Front Sprocket 15 to 16 teeth

I wanted the bike to have "longer" gears and lower revs in highway speeds. This 16 teeth sprocket is an awsome modification for just that. Another benefit is that now the speedometer showing the correct speed compared to GPS.

15 teeth (oem): 50kph 2500rpm 70kph 3700rpm 80kph 4100rpm 110kph 5600rpm 16 teeth: 50kph 2100rpm (-400) 60kph 2800rpm 70kph 3200rpm (-500) 80kph 3900rpm (-200) 90kph 4500rpm ? 100kph 4500rpm ? 110kph 5000rpm (-600) Approx rpm reduction ~400rpm

From my research, the CBR500R that I'm looking to buy has a positive error on the speedometer of roughly 7%. Adding one teeth lengthens the gearing by almost 7%. Because thiat bike measures it's speed from the gearbox and not the wheels, changing the gear ratio changes the speedometer reading. So adding one tooth to the front sprocket basically eliminates speedometer error fully and now your indicated speed is your real speed. It should also be much better since the stock gearing is too short, unless one is a very heavy rider.

I’m just concerned about if I can fix my speedometer if I do this upgrade on my cb500f. the speedometer is reading pretty accurate but the gears are so short, I wanna relax with it

[@MarkEdwardsGreenside]

I concur - did the upgrade on a CB500F to 16T Front Sprocket, found exactly this.

I swopped as well, the rear sprocket,minus 2 teeth for even more relaxed riding, performance still fine.

Very nice. Where did you get the rear sprocket?

I did the same thing with the cb500x. On the flat it's fine but uphill not too good. I'm back to 15. Good way

According to this person, the scraping of the chain guard bracket is due to incorrect installation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpvCq52Lp717e5o

Perhaps, I don't wanna take that risk with a bike I am about to sell to a newbee rider...
