Received my new chain tool (
) in the mail yesterday so I was finally able to install my OEM 16/46 D.I.D. Chain and sprocket set! (Basic Steel, keeping it affordable and durable)
The PO had a -1/+2 on it and it had good pull, but revved too high for me cruising on the Freeway, which ate into my MPG.
Just in my short test ride around town I could tell that it felt alot smoother and even seemed quieter. (not the revs, but the chain noise itself) I think that aside from changing up the ratio, it was due for a new chain/sprocket set anyways. Quite honestly I didn't even feel like the low end torque suffered much by going back to OEM.
The chain tool worked flawlessly and was much more affordable than others I have seen.
It was my first chain/Sprocket swap and it went off without issue, largely due to fellow CBR member Incognito and his great write up:

Just now snapped a quick shot of the rear sproket, sorry about the flash, it's dark in the garage right now

i did some more handling practice today trying to get used to shifting my weight on the bike. im extended 5in and lowered so corners take practice but i love it. my cbr 900rr was a lot more work that this one. 64mph was my top speed today

Thanks!
It was the D.I.D. kit that you can see at:
D.I.D. Racing Chains and DirtStar® Rims
With the VX Pro-Street unplated chain (525 vx2). Just went back to the 16/46 OEM setup as I mentioned in my post. The kit cost me about 180 total after tax and such at my local shop.
