Simple question what exactly do I need to buy?

46tooth 525 sprocket and a 525 oring sealed chain? is this the stock size?

should i maybe go with something like +1 or +2 on the back? if so how much, and what size chain would i need to get?

opinions loved

06 cbr600f4i

 

always replace both sprockets and chain at the same time
why not look into a 520 kit
i went with a -1+1 for my 08
so far so good I'm liking the added acceleration

 

as i said im open to suggestions, just with the flurry of different sizes and lengths im always worried im gonna order the wrong thing.

whats the stock size for the front?

 

F4i OEM sizes = 16/46 steel sprockets & 525 chain w/ 108 links.

 

thank you

 

how many links in the chain were needed for that?

 

I'm in your same boat.

What would the community recommend for longevity? I want to keep the stock gearing on my bike but i want something that's reliable and sturdy. Any suggestions?

 

no change same as stock off the top of my head I think it was 112 08 cbr600rr

^^^^^it will even tell you if that combo will wear good

 

For the majority of riders, the stock set-up is the way to go.
The 2%-ers are really the only ones who can take advantage of the low-end
torque of the -1/+1 (or+2). Steel sprockets are the way to go on the street.
Trackers are the only ones, that worry about the weight and can afford the more-
frequent replacement. As far as the whole 520-525-530 argument...drop the money
on the cheapest size in the make/model that you are looking at. The 520 used to be
a "performance' up-grade, but any more, they are the prevalent/cheaper standard.

All of the major players turn out a quality product, so that's not an issue, really.

Good luck, Ern
