It is time for me to change the chain and sprockets on my bike, as well as the tires...I figure I might as well do it while its all taken apart. Anyway I'm diverging from the stock specs on the sprockets and the chain going down one in the front to 14 teeth, and up one in the back to 44 teeth with 520 pitch. The stock chain is 108 links and my question is, will the chain length change or will it stay the same? I'm thinking it should stay the same because the total number of teeth between the sprockets isnt changing but I'm not sure if pitch or anything plays a factor. Thank you all in advance for the help and I apologize for making this so long.

 

i have a 2006 honda cbr1000rr it has a 530 chain 16/42 sprocket and i would like to change to a 15/41 sprocket set up i wanna know the pro and cons to this...and how do i know the length of my chain thanks in advance...

 

The chain length should be the same as stock with a -1/+1

Why would you want to go -1/-1?
If you start your own thread in the 1000rr section, the RR guys will point the way.

 

ok going to start a thread right now and thanks..
