Looking to get more torque I am currently running 16-47 wondering if I should go 15-47 or 16-50 thinking 50 on rear will force me to get a new chain because of the size diff.... Any ideas? Also places to get good sprockets thanks

 

Welcome to the forum.

I wouldn't do any more than 15/47.

Many of here on the forum use Sprocket Center. They have good chain/sprocket combo packages & will cut the chain to length for you upon request.

Also, we've had an RK chain rep here recently offering discounts for CBRF members on chain/chain & sprocket combos.

Good luck shopping.

 

+1 to this. This is one of the more popular combos out there. It seems to have good results. If you do much more the bike will be a very high rpm while cruising. Remember if your speedo will be off too so I suggest getting a speedohealer along with your sprockets to fix that.

 

Thank you yea I was thinking of going 15-47 and should e able to keep my old chain that has only one season on it due to the fact that there is not a huge Jump in size

 

i thought the speedo ran off of the front tire. or is that just on the f4?

 

The speedo does not run off the front tire for any bike. The sensor is in the crankcase and I believe it goes off the transmission output shaft.

 

Mostly older bikes , pre say late nineties. Most all have changed since then.


Might wanna wait till you need a whole set. Keeping that older chain will likely end up tearing up a new sprocket pretty quick. Especially if you go Alu.

 

Well once my new tires come in I can pick up a whole new running gear that's no problem front and rear sprocket new chain ... Aluminum or steel ??

 

Steel. Its lasts longer & will be sufficient for everyday street use.

Its always a good idea to change your chain & sprockets at the same time to limit wear & to get optimum performance.
