RE: f4i rear sprocket
In a word, yes.
Keep in mind that if you change one part of the drivetrain i.e. chain, front sprocket, rear sprocket - you need to change all of them. They wear in together and changing one without changing the other two will lead to premature wear and failure. If you change your whole set up, you have to make a few decisions. 1. What size chain to go with 525 (as stock) or 520 (smaller and lighter but not as strong) 2. Gearing. I'm not even going to get into gearing as my fingers will get tired typing.
I bought a vortex kit off ebay from seller name sumofallparts and was very happy with it.
PS - To make your chain last a long time all you have to do is adjust it regularly and lube it with chain wax every 500 miles.

RE: f4i rear sprocket
You dont HAVE to change all your stuff together. If your chain and front spocket looks pretty good than you will be just fine changing the rear only. Some people think there is some big thing about changing them all like you are going to die if you dont or your chain and sprockets will wear super fast but they wont. I have yet to change all of my stuff since i bought the bike and they last a farely long amount of time.

I get about 12,000 miles out of a chain and sprocket set. Also, I've never broken a chain even running a 520 on my TL1000R torque monster. I'm going to take it from the pros and keep changing everything all at once. I've heard stories about what can happen if you're riding your bike and the chain snaps. People have died that way. For another $100, I'll play it safe.
