new chain when changing rear sprocket?

new chain when changing rear sprocket?
I recently bought a 2005 600rr with a 47 tooth on the rear.
The acceleration is fun, but it seems to respond less smooth on the throttle.
Im thinking of switching it back to stock or somewhere in between.
Is there a way to calculate when and if i need to adjust my chain.
Thanks!

How many miles are on the old chain? If the chain is fairly worn and you install just a new sprocket the chain will wear it down somewhat faster than if you replaced both front and rear sprockets and chain.
You can find kits that have all 3 for less than buying each component individually.

You can cut the chain by carefully grinding down the rivets from the link to be removed with an angle grinder, just go easy on it so you don`t fry the seals. But on bikes this powerful it`s heavily recommended to NOT use a clip style master link, I`ve succesfully riveted one chain with a small vice and a ball head hammer but it` s really up to you can you do it or let a shop take care of it for you and have peace with it and know it`s done right.
