Sprocket size suggestions

[boomer]

Guys,

i'm gonna go do a look see now, but i thought i'd post too..and ask for suggestions or ideas.

my cbr600rr '05 needs a new chain and probably sprockets too so i thought i'd look at changing the sprocket size; mainly to get some more oomph in first and second.. and i'm thinking it might help with my poor ass attempts at wheelies ( yeah i know, grow bigger balls not get smaller sprockets )

so.. any idea's or suggestions

Cheers,
Boomer

What are the standard sprocket sizes on your bike?

[boomer]

the rear has 43 stamped on it, dunno about the front;

Doing a quick search; ( does this help?)
Primary Drive Gear Teeth (Ratio) 76/36 (2.111:1)
Final Drive Sprocket Teeth (Ratio) 46/16 (2.688:1)

back to cbr600rr.com for more of a browse..

46 rear, 16 front... you want more acceleration? drop a tooth on the front sprocket... dont go more than one tooth or shit gets difficult...

so get a 15 tooth front sprocket

drop one tooth on the front. You will notice the difference.

If you want a significant increase then drop one in the front and add 2-3 to the rear.

Just remember that your speedo will be over reading if you do it though.

you can get a speedo healer for it though which will sort out the over reading.

Agreed, by dropping one tooth on the front it is the equivelant of going up 3 (as far as I am aware) on the rear. Changing the front should only cost you about $30 but the rear will be about $70-80. My suggestion would be down one on the front and if you want more acceleration after that then look at going up on the rear.

I think only the older ones do.

could be wrong though

[kiwifruit]

drop one at the front bro, will make a nice difference.
worked for me!

you will loose a little top speed, not enough to worry about

[Fishy]

If you want the speedo healer I think they are around $150NZ.

The CBR600RR from 05 onwards requires the Honda 2 harness kit as well..... http://www.speedohealer.com/eng/order.htm

Cheers guys,

yeah, from trawling through the posts at cbr600rr.com they're all suggesting -1 on the front as you guys do. For ease ( no speedo healer, easier on teh gas and less loss in top speed )

they're also saying the speedo healer is needed as its run of the trans ( if i do go up on the back ), so i'll drop the front by one and see how we go.


cheers all :thumbsup:

how many k's has your bike done? just curious.

+1 on -1 on the front tooooo
that's what i intend on doing a little later, and getting a speedo healer (regardless). Just be warned that some bikes (like mine) getting the front sprocket off is a biatch..

and grow some balls and just wheelie the damn thing!!
