Can anyone tell me where to get the aftermarket size? I'd like to get 17 (+1) front and 45 rear, (-1) but I called up several places (like m-superstore, bikebandit) and they don't have these for 09 fz6r... I have 17 front now, but can't remember where I got it long time ago.
Thanks
 
Never done it before and it only took me 30 minutes total. Forgot how easy it is to work on bikes.
 
Have you tried - Home - Indysuperbikes ? They have a good selection. But you won't feel -1 on the rear. That would be 2 MPH difference at 70... kind of like 100 RPM, if that. There's a 44T available (Vortex) and your steelership should have a 43 in stock.

16/43 is right in the middle of 17/46 and 17/45. But like I said...

17/46=70MPH @ 6K
16/43=71MPH @ 6K
17/45=72MPH @ 6K
17/44=73MPH @ 6K
17/43=75MPH @ 6K

Thanks Marthy.
I want to make the gearing wider. I had 17/46 and it's good, but still wanted to have a bit longer gears. It pulls good even with passenger.
 
If you don't care too much about being the fastest thing between 2 stop light... go 17/43. I ran 17/44 for a while and really liked it. I went back to 17/46 because of the cams are a bit more aggressive on top... But I might change for 17/43 when time comes...

I heard somewhere that 2 in read = 1 in front. Can it be true?

Edit, just read that it amounts to 3 in rear

Kind of right there in the middle. 2.5T LOL Accordingly to my spreadsheet.

Marthy,
Did you have to remove some links for 17/44 setup?

Lower the RPM on highway...

Stock 16/46, 17/46 get your speedo more accurate.

I ran 17/44 for a wile and i'll try 17/43 this time.
 

thinking about changing up the sprockets soon, what would be a better option
-1T on the front so 15/46
or +2 to the rear so 16/48

also how will these combos affect the speedo?

Thanks guys!
