Sprocket

[Christopher Crowe]

What kind of sprocket and what size are most people (usually) running?

I just need a basic installation set-up -- Taylor diff bolt-pattern, for use with stock GSXR front sprocket, etc. (This chain-drive buisiness is entirely new to me).

Thanks,

Chris

16 and 17 front
43-48 rear should give you tons of options.

I find I use a 15 up front with reasonable frequency too, at least, I did on the WF-1.

Part of that may be due to racing at altitude where we have less HP. 15/47 was my most common ratio, I think. By comparison, I think I ran 16/46 at Road America.

Generally, you'll find you're in the 3:1 ballpark, plus or minus 0.2.

I second the 15 front. And don't forget it's all on 530 chain and 530 matching sprockets.

I run 16 and 46 at Road Atlanta and that would give me 12,000 at the end of the back strech. That's the fastest track I run. Could use the 15 at Nashville or Barber but I don't change gears because I'm a cheap SOB.

I have it in my mind we were at 17:46 at Road America. I see Wren viewing this thread, and he will probably correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Sprockets

On my former Phoenix F1000 I used a Sprocket Specialists brand sprocket 530/45.

I thought the following chart might help many other F1000 owner/drivers.

I'd run a 16-41 because while the rest of you'd be going 150 MPH I'd be going 166.7 and blow right by you.

You guys make it as easy as it could ever be! Thanks again.
