GSXR600 sprocket set-up

has anyone tried fitting 16/45 sprockets (gsxr600 sprockets) on to an sv. i am looking to get a bit more speed out of my sv as its starting to feel slow.

Bigger front sprocket won't neccesarily make you faster, since you also need to have the power to push the higher gearing. I'd be surprised if you can redline a normal (or lightly breathed on) SV with an extra front tooth. I'd be pretty surprised if you could do it with mine, frankly I'd think it'll take a bit over the 80rw. It'll take a day to get there in the unlikely event it can do it at all, too. How often is 120-and-a-bit-more too slow?

Me, I'd say turn it around- drop the gearing. It'll make it quicker off the line and generally feel faster. It won't be any faster in terms of top speed but I bet you spend more time going from 10-40 than you do at 120 wishing you could do 150...

That'd be slower than stock. 15/46 is the way to go if you want better acceleration. Or you could stick with the 44 rear and just go down one on the front.

stock set up is -15/44. what about going to 15/42 or 15/43. also does anyone know what 1 tooth on the front is compared to the rear. e.g. 1 tooth on the front is equal to 3 teeth on the rear?

Well if you go down 1 tooth on the front it is equivalent to going 3 up on the rear, so in theory going 1 up on the front is the equivalent of going 3 down on the rear
Then you would be as slow as a car setting off from the lights Just fit NOS if you want more power

Try a 14 tooth front, to see you it feels. It's pretty cheap to buy and won't need a longer chain.
The gixer gearing would be slow, make first gear very tall AFAIK

Fitting longer gearing will make it feel slower; it would feel punchier fitting a smaller front sproket. I should have done it on my 33bhp SV

i just spoke to jhs racing and they recommend 14/45.

I've got mine set with the naked gearing, nice balance I reckon... I think that's 15/45 but can't really remember. Going small on teh front could exaggerate chain wear, depends on your setup and how you look after the chain- wouldn't be an issue if you use an alloy rear sprocket since it'll outlast any front, but if you want to get distance out of a chain it'd probably be better to go up on the rear.

But swapping fronts is dead easy, and cheap as well.

i found some sprockets i want on this site. it has standard front sprockets and race use sprockets. which would be the best to get. thanks
