Question 09 FZ6R Sprocket Change

[nixchimera]

Hey yall, I’m new to the community and pretty new to motorcycles as well and was looking at possibly putting on some custom front and rear sprockets (specifically more front teeth and less rear) and was wondering what a reasonable change in that regard is as I’m wanting a higher top speed/less RPMs while on the highway without sacrificing a ton of acceleration. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!

On the wife's 6r we went +1 on the front and left the rear stock. Made it a little less buzzy and made the speedo more actuate. I'm guessing you could change the rear if you wanted to.

I also went +1 on the front and left the rear stock. I don't think I'd want any less acceleration on the low end and I don't feel it's too high of RPM's on the highway.

I went 1 up on the front and 1 down in the rear. The rear axle then stays located very close to where it would be with stock gearing.
