Bigger sprocket ? ? ? ?

if u get a bigger sprocket you will lose a lil bit of top end, but u will be able to do wheelies much easier.

Sry i dont know the exact amount of speed you will lose, it also depends how many teeth u go up by.

Pm Bill at 5th gear he will know the exacts for you.

I dropped a tooth on the front and went up two on the rear and I'd say the speedo is off by around 20%.
Do it, you won't regret it. Makes a huge difference. Just bring ear plugs for freeway trips.

! down and 2 up won't lose any top end. You might actually gain some top end and will get there quicker. I don't think a GSXR 600 can redline in top gear , so going lower will really help.

Thanks for the input, I might as well go bigger if i am going to be changing it anyways. How difficult is it to change the front and rear sprocket??

not only do u lose a lil top speed
yur speedo will be off
not real bad but enuf
mine is about 7% off and i'm only 1 down front
my buddies is like 35% off ish he's 21 up rear lol

How much would the speedo be out on the gsxr 600 with those sprockets? I've got the same bike different year and I was thinking about changing the sprockets as well.

Is there no way to recalibrate your speedo??

Speedo Healer. It just plugs in and it will re calibrate your speedo.
Or just leave it as is and do mental math.

Go down 1 up 2 and you'll never look back.

i just put a new chain and sprockets on my cbr. it was extremely simple. never done it before. took a little over an hour. i just went 1 smaller on the front. no reason just the kit i bought. i find the hardest thing is getting the rear axle shaft back in by yourself, while trying to hold the wheel in place.

Yeah I did mine last week, i found it pretty easy aswell but it took me like 3 hours had to go out and buy new tools a couple times ( first time doing any major work on my bike ) . i went with the 1 down and 2 up and a 520 convertion. And your totally right about the rear axel luckly i had my gf out there handing me tools. Thanks for everyones input. I'm really glad i did the change it makes a big difference.
