What is the best sprocket to buy just to drop -1 in the front and where is the best place to buy one. i want to get one that will be able to run with the stock chain let me know thanks

 

I did this mod a couple days ago.... I looked around and this was the average price, I didn't find anything cheaper. About $35 from Cal-Sportbikes

 

PBI...direct from the Dealer...good brand...and only $25.

 

oh yeah...no shipping either

 

Don collins did you go with the 525 or the 520. or do you need a new chain for the 520. also how hard was it to install

 

also where is a good place to get the 05 honda service manual for it

 

Rice and Don King..hope you don't mind me jumping in....here is the post where I asked the same thing and chainstretcher has directions with pics...https://cbrforum.com/m_32877/mpage_1...t/tm.htm#32877

way easy to install!!!

if talking download, then it is an enigma so far..I just downloaded the 03-04

also here is the cheapest place I have found the hard copy: http://www.repairmanual.com/catalog/61MEE02 (only $50...$60, ever where else I've seen)

 

Jump in all you need to, I'm getting slow and old you know. Download the 03/04 manual so you can use it, I'm sure most things carried over. The front sprocket torques at 40 foot lbs and don't forget to add 2 lbs. for the 6" extension you'll be using. It's very simple to do, takes about 20 minutes with clean up time. I went with the 525, you can't mix 525 with 520. 520 is more for the extreme fast riders/racers that don't need a lot of torque for take offs (you'll get the torque... but it wears the teeth down faster). I mean once you start racing, you don't have too many stop and go's. The 525 will last longer and better for stunters and those of us who keep it under the 150 mark. You'll see a lot of people on here with the 520 conversion... so I'll be the odd one out here.

And CJ.. were's the link to buy the $25 front sprocket???
