I finally got my bike back together, I got a 16t and 40 in the rear and all I can say is WOW,that combo is amzing the bike pulls as soon as you get on the throttle all the way to redline, and it pulls hard!!! I'll have a full review of all the parts I used and pics tommorow. Its almost 4 on the morning so I have to get some sleep. But I'm happy with my new set up it feels like I just added 30 more horsies.

I'm glad for your excitement man... I'll be waiting for your review. When I switch to a 520 conversion I'm also interested on having -1 in front (16t from stock 17t) but leave the stock rear 39 on my '05. Keep us updated.

Yeah it's a big difference in feel, when -1 on the front. I have a 16 on at the moment. Got a 15 front & 41, 42 & 43 rear on it way. Going to see what it like, when I play around with the gearing.

Your bike as standard is a 525 pitch, may need to have a think over whether it worth going to 520 pitch.:wink:

Thats a lotta xtra horsies:wink: and giddy-up for only changing the rear to a 40t from the 16/39 you had already.........:dontknow: Did you use 110L or 112L??? BD

Any faster and you'll blow the Bloo right off the wheels.

I have teh 16/42 and love it, I have been thinking of trying 43 rear. Have 16 front and just ordered 42 rear. I can't wait to feel the pull. Hopefully it'll feel more like the 1st gen's acceleration.

Have 16 front and just ordered 42 rear. I can't wait to feel the pull. Hopefully it'll feel more like the 1st gen's acceleration. not without the BLOO factor:lol: BD

yea imagine how my 15 tooth front feels:thumbsup:

yea imagine how my 15 tooth front feels:thumbsup: i can't cuz i wouldn't use it BD

Thats a lotta xtra horsies:wink: and giddy-up for only changing the rear to a 40t from the 16/39 you had already.........:dontknow: Did you use 110L or 112L??? BD I used a 112 link.

BD BD, I thought my 07 has a 40 rear on it stock? What is my front, a 17? I need your wisdom as I can not see my front only my rear. I wanted to go to a 520 also, is mine a 525 stock and should I stay 525? As always, thanks in advance for your big brain. Sean

and giddy-up for only changing the rear to a 40t from the 16/39 you had already.........:dontknow: BD Why you dont like that combo?

Stock 06 is 17-40, stock 04-05 is 17-39, you would really be hard pressed iMHO to find a negligible difference from the 1t difference in back, I have 16T sprockets on both of my bikes and the gearing feels pretty much the same with the two different size rears.

I have been very happy with the 16/42 gearing on 06 10r, I first thought this gearing may be to Aggressive for the track and I did not want To create a wild wheelie machine. Now that I have it on there I love it, the bike launches out Of corners and front stays planted with Some power wheelies as I exit some turns, Way more fun…. :thumbsup:

okay bd then how about 16/41@520 112L? im changing them out over the winter

This is or was going to be my next mod. Down one in front and 520. Then I read someone said better to stay 525???? Thoughts as this is my first 1000. I have a 600 track bike and I used to have a 750 both had or have 520.

I too am interested in the cons of going 520. I am a larger rider (250lbs) and I only ride track and twisties, no commute. I think I have read if your hard on the gas with a 520, snapage can happen. Can anyone confirm?

Juan Its not that i don't like it but rather its not that much diff from what you had so i'm wondering why it feels so diff to you is all. BD

okay bd then how about 16/41@520 112L? im changing them out over the winter thats a good combo but only with a quality 520 chain & sprockets. :thumbsup: BD

thats a good combo but only with a quality 520 chain & sprockets. :thumbsup: BD In your opinion what is a good quality chain and sprocket?

In your opinion what is a good quality chain and sprocket? chain, DID erv or zvm series. EK mvxz or zvx series sprockets, AFAM or Renthal hardened aluminum rears with case hardened steel fronts. BD

chain, DID erv or zvm series. EK mvxz or zvx series sprockets, AFAM or Renthal hardened aluminum rears with case hardened steel fronts. BD Thanks BD, checking with the sponsors now and going to pull the trigger. Still curious about chain break with 520 even with quality parts, anyone?

Thanks BD, checking with the sponsors now and going to pull the trigger. Still curious about chain break with 520 even with quality parts, anyone? With a cheapish chain i can see that being a concern but the newer 520 quality chains have tensile strength equal to and sometimes higher than their 525 counterparts. That said i wouldn't say it can't happen because its always possible due to improper install of mstr link, too loose a chain and ya crank a 2nd gear wheelie @ 10k and oh snap!! BD

Ninja187, I have Renthal sprockets as BD mentioned and had ZERO issues....key word is hardened, those pretty,bling bling sprockets have had issues on my brothers RR...mine are ugly black

stock 06,7 is 17/40 and 525 pitch. Juan Its not that i don't like it but rather its not that much diff from what you had so i'm wondering why it feels so diff to you is all. BD I guess the biggest difference I feel is that the bike is no longer sluggish at lower RPM's and to me makes the bike feel alot more torquey.

Any faster and you'll blow the Bloo right off the wheels. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

try 14/40 for a insane ride had it on there for about 20 min to crazy, wheelie 6th gear not even trying lol

try 14/40 for a insane ride had it on there for about 20 min to crazy, wheelie 6th gear not even trying lol no, not, :headshake i find it hard to belive theres a 14t avail for the 10 from anyone. Of the aftermarket manuf i know of 15t is as low as they go and thats not advisable even for 1/4m passes. BD

Only another coupla days to going and I will be slamming on the 42 rear!!! Already -1 on the front. And you get use to that pretty quick. Hope the 16 / 42 combo will keep on my toes and grinning like a maniac!!

suzuki gsxr 600 00 sprockets fit just fine on the bike!!! no bs

suzuki gsxr 600 00 sprockets fit just fine on the bike!!! no bs ahhhhhh i see but still not a wise choice. BD

rite i was board lol its crazy watch out for wheel spin in first if you can keep it down

If you go with a 16/41 what exactly is going to happen on the top end? Do you have to make a chain mod?

15mph loss 300-500 rpm increse 0.02 inches in wheel base difference no chain mod but why not replace it? from my gearing program

If you go with a 16/41 what exactly is going to happen on the top end? im using a 15/38 which is close to 16/41, i can tell you that youll def be shifting more often. and your corrected top speed will be in the 168mph ball park. im actually looking to convert to a 520 16/41 set up after this season. my chain isnt looking good.

Standard pitch is 525 ans I doubt you will notice the weight difference of a 520.

hv recently change to 16/41 gearing...the feeling is gr8 n the pull is strong till redline..wat is the speedo error i'm getting in km???

Your bike as standard is a 525 pitch, may need to have a think over whether it worth going to 520 pitch.:wink: I race and run the street with a 520, havent had a single problem except that a get extra slack and go through chains slightly faster.

have recently change to 16/41 gearing...the feeling is gr8 n the pull is strong till redline..what is the speedo error i'm getting in km??? dunno about KM but a guesstimate is 16% optimistic BD

suzuki gsxr 600 00 sprockets fit just fine on the bike!!! no bs That would be like putting a pig`s hart in a muslim
