    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.

    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!

    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

  • @davidjames1684
    @davidjames16846 жыл бұрын

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.

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

    Sorry about asking a question on an older video! I have a 2011 r1 and want more acceleration,will going up two on the rear screw up my wheel base,or not an issue with a new chain? Currently stock gearing is 17-47! PS I’m also in Michigan and STG has always been spot on with my orders🙏

    Appreciate your support! If you want to keep the wheelbase longer I would go down 1 in the front and 1 down in the rear with a 120 link chain. This will get you the gearing you want without shortening the wheelbase too much. Here is a link to a Driven kit on our site where you can choose your own gearing. www.sportbiketrackgear.com/driven-520-chain-and-sprocket-kit-yamaha-yzf-r1-98-14/ - Brian Van

    @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 ?

    Hey! I bought a pocket bike a few weeks ago and it arrived on December 29, 2017. The bike was great, until the chain popped off the next day! I was aggravated, so my dad hit up my uncle who isn’t a mechanic but is really good with motorcycles, and he aligned everything, but after about 50 minutes of riding it the chain popped off again and we don’t know the problem. If you could respond with some helpful details or a solution, I would be very thankful and it would be much appreciated, THANKS!

    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

    I just noticed the guy that owned my gsxr 1000 before me had put on a Vortex 45 tooth sprocket. Now I know what’s been bothering me since I bought it. It’s so jerky in 1st gear. And on the freeway I get sort of a chain lash jerk at cruising speeds while trying to also maintain the same speed. I didn’t even know they went as high as 45! It was perfect stock for ME when I owned 2 of these in the past. I don’t want to accelerate faster at the expense of screamin on the freeway in 6th gear. I feel like I’m on a 600 by comparison.

    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

    I have an R6 2017 which is otherwise stock. I love to just ride with my mates on a winding road. I do want the bike to be comfortable on highway cruising speeding .. sup to 120 km/hr (i supposed 75 mph). Do you think going -1/+2 will reduce drive ability at cruising speeds... will the bike be sitting in very high RPM range and will it be jerky on the throttle especially at cruising speeds. I realize I would also be able to utilise the Modes A/std/B to adjust throttle response to suit riding style as well.

    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 would try one down in the front with a stock rear to start. The front costs less than the rear and you can most often use the same length chain if you are not happy and want to go back. One down in the front is like 3 up in the rear. This will also shorten your top end a bit. - Van
