Default New Chain and Sprocket Kit Installed

Hey guys I have another update, my RK Quick Accel Kit is installed, -1 in the front, 520 chain, and Vortex rear sprocket. So far I love it, I have yet to take her on the highway, but hey it's still early. Here are some pics for your enjoyment

$157 + tax. It was surprisingly cheaper than the stock kit they offered. I picked it up from Stein's Custom Components here in town where I'm located.

I'm not too fond of the -1/+2 with all the highway driving I do, had it on my older bike. 1st gear is fun though

Im thinking about doing some chain and sprocket work on mine.

Should I go for a 520 chain? (the pic looks like you're past the new chain line)

I think standard is 15T front, 43T back, If I go 14/41 (for the accel ^.^) what will my mpg be around (I dont even know the normal being that the meter apparently broke at 28,000 and who knows how many miles are on it)

also, what is the top speed of these if you have something like a +1/-2 (I heard +/- gives top speed and mpg and -/+ gives torque)

Top speed will still be about 145 or so, not that you really need those speeds. I was at 120 or so and almost redlining on the R6.

The only thing that sucks is the highass RPM's in highway driving.

8k = 80mph
9k = 90mph

etc

I totally meant 14/45, but I'm sure that was understood, haha

Yeah, Im not concerned about top speed really at all, more about acceleration, however, I do want to be slightly more efficient in commuting. My car gets 30 mpg already. If I go with the 14/45 what's the mpg look like?

and with the loud exhaust I have already, I might just opt to forget about the acceleration so I dont get annoyed by riding.
