Aftermarket Sprocket Kits.. Who has them?? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I've been thinking about putting a little bit bigger sprocket on the back of my CBR. I'm just not sure how many teeth i want to add. I don't want to lose my highway rideability, but i want it to be a little easier to clutch up in higher gears, preferrably 2nd or 3rd instead of 1st gear. I was looking at the 54 tooth but dont know if that will make the bike SCREAM on the highways, figured i would ask and see what you guys ride ~post up the type of bike you ride and the sprocket you have as well as some feedback on rideability.~

Thanks!

Not into the whole wheelie thing, but I have -1/+2 (15/45) on my 06 600 with the 520 conversion. Its good for acceleration, but probably not enough teeth if you want to wheelie easier.

Chaos Z · 07-07-2009, 08:56 PM

i went with a vortex 520 kit -1 front +2 rear the rides still good with great pick up only runs about 500-700 rpms higher then it did maybe like 6000rpms at 70mph in 6th cruisin thats on my f4i im sure you could clutch it up in 2nd

I have vortex sprockets. I don't do wheelies. Neither should you. Please.

93EGY8 · 07-08-2009, 01:34 AM

Post didn't say tell me how to ride it said help me with sprockets:/ thanks for all the tips guys I'm definately going with a vortex probably a plus two in back minus one up front

MotoMummy.com has awesome deals on vortex 520 conversion kits.

I'm most likely going with a -1front and a stock rear since my bike def dosent need a +2 rear as well. It's hard enough to keep on the ground on corner exit.

http://www.sumofallparts.net/ they have the kit i want -1 +2 with 520 chain vortex for $160 shipped.

93EGY8 · 07-08-2009, 11:49 AM

wow that deal for 160 shipped sounds awesome. nad im definatley going with the -1 front +2 rear because my bike is a 92, its not as fast as the newer bikes but still holds its own...i just want a little more jump behind it

jpalamar · 07-08-2009, 12:35 PM

I went from Vortex alumium sprockets to Vortex steel sprockets. The weight difference isn't noticable in my accel and its alot stronger. I also have an RK 520 chain. No complaints.

bikebandet.com has kits really cheap for most bikes

just checked out bikebandit.com... might actually go with there kits..seem to be a little cheaper.. anyone else on here stunt in shows or on the side??? im personally not ready for comps yet but feel within the next year i will be. vortex seems to be the company to go with, my brother had there aluminum sprocket and it shredded the teeth off within a year, he rides an 03 636... im most likely to go with the steel kit

enigma · 07-08-2009, 06:11 PM

Cheap sprockets can shear or wear much faster, go with vortex.

420sx · 07-11-2009, 04:19 PM

Went from 15-45 to 14-45... big difference. Took about 8mph off the top end but got a lot more fun to ride in the twisties. I recommend it.

z'd up · 07-11-2009, 11:12 PM

haha aftermarket kits for my bike prolly lower the top speed to like 90mph considering it tops out at like 110 now
