So i'm replacing the chain and sprockets on my bike soon, and I'm thinking about going with -1/+2, but im just not sure how annoying it is to deal with the Speedo/trip error changes. I was wondering how much of a pain it is to deal with those issues, and if it is worth it. Also what do you think are the best chain/sprockets to get, and where?

I know there have been a million threads, but i couldn't find the thread i was looking for.

 

If you want to test the waters i would suggest going -1 in the front for time being.. I have this on mine and you can tell a difference. I have used both Vortex and Renthal. You can get a cheap 520 -1 +2 "quick acceleration" kit almost anywhere now a days. I actually went with a 525 pitch just because i am a bigger guy and want a little more life out of my sprockets and chain but hats up to you. Good luck in what ever you do.

 

How much would the speedo be out with a sprocket change? Is there a difference between say a -1 front compared to a -1 +2?

 

I was wondering the same thing. how bad is the speedo/odo off by? and where is a good place to buy new chain and sprockets

 

So I was looking and couldnt find any kits, really... would it work to just buy vortex sprockets --

And then a separate chain? The only problem is that I'm not sure what chain to get if i do it that way. Would i need a longer chain than normal?

The manual says 110 links is stock, but http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/5/85/15012/18946/PITEM/Parts-Unlimited-525MO-O-Ring-Chain-1999-Honda-CBR600F4-Parts.aspx , and http://www.gearingcommander.com/ says 108 links is stock... so do i get a 110 link chain for the change in gearing size and cut from there, or get the 108 link chain and hope its long enough? And do those chains come with the master link, or do i need to buy it separate. It doesn't quite specify...

According to http://www.gearingcommander.com/ the new sprockets (15/47) would add 4.97mm to the length of the chain track. i.e. it would be 4.97mm tighter than stock gearing on the same chain. I would presume that there is enough room to accommodate 4.97mm with the stock chain, but i was wondering if anyone knew for sure.
