Forget that

Im going with the 62T that Billy found me, with a +1 front.

Hell I will just have to use 2nd as 1st on the roads

 

what?

 

First I asked where i could buy a full sprocket & chain kit, but its too much hassle, so im going with that 62T Rear.

 

you could always ask pez





i think he should have put some more posts up to make absolutely crystal what he was doing? lol

 

Thats a good idea.

Pez is looking into getting lots of my gsxr mods, he's gone back to talk to his suppliers to see how quick he can get the stuff delivered.

 

Yoooo - its -1 in the front - not +1 unless for what ever reason youre going +1 instead

 

I can get a 62T rear off a friend of a friend local, without needing to order from the USA.

But im a newbie and 62T gearing on my GSXR makes +17

So I thought, go +1 and bring it down to +14.


what do you recon?

 

or you could do what i said and ring B&C Express, and have any size made up.

and get the correct chain to match, how would you sort the chain with a 62tooth rear?

 

their are loads of places to buy 130 link chains, but thanks for reminding me about B&C Express.

If the 62 falls through and Pez can't get one either, i will get B&C Express on the case

Don't think you can beat that


520 or 525 ?

stay at 525, that way you can use your 16tooth front in the future

 

im not bothered about the stock 16T front.

The 520 blank doesn't need skimming, so I imagine it would be lighter than the 530 blank

But is the 520 chain too weak?

 

most bikes now run a 520 chain so there shouldn't be a problem, B&C can't get that sized sprocket out of a 520 blank, so i'd be interested to know the thickness of the 62 tooth rear

 

Thanks for confirming 520 is OK.

Tracey Harris at B&C said they can do 60 tooth in a 520, thats all i know.

But if they can't, 525 will be fine.

 

IIRC they will do a sprocket that fits a 520 chain, but they make it out of a 530 blank, someone else might know for sure

and i'm not taking responsibility for the 520 chain, so good luck

 

If their is no weight advantage, their is no point going 520.

525 it is then, thanks for clearing that up.

 

there is a weight advantage but they are not as strong

 

there will weight saving, but i'm not rubber stamping it incase you get hurt

Hai says this

What gearing is right for me?
+5 – Provides a good place to start for anybody looking to get a little more into the stunts without sacrificing street riding or too much top speed. Will gain some torque/acceleration while losing roughly 10% of top speed.

+10 - Provides good amounts of power for slower wheelies while still having decent street riding. Will gain good torque/acceleration while losing roughly 20% of top speed.

+15 – Provides great power for technical slow wheelies. Street riding will be reduced to moderation in the city limits. No highways. Will gain great torque/acceleration while losing roughly 30% of top speed.

+20 - Provides huge power for anything and everything technical. Street riding will be reduced to just parking lots. Not for beginners. Will gain huge torque/acceleration while losing roughly 40% of top speed.

+25 or bigger – Ridiculous… but fun. Go big.

 

Im interested in this Rubber Stamp package you offer.
So if i get the stamp and still get hurt what compensation do i receive?

I meant, their is a weight advantage in the chain but not in the rear sprocket.

My bike is 45 rear stock, so 60R (+15) +1F (-3) gives me +12 Total.
With the option to go -1 in the future for +18.
