Fitted larger sprocket, chain too tight.

So your introducing two weak points.
One down on front is easy and less likely to break.

A properly installed master link is exactly equivalent to every other link of the chain,

So yea i will problerly go for the 1 down on front 2 up on rear or maybe go back to standard on the rear depending on the chain length

From my experience, most lack of acceleration complaints really come from applying the throttle too late. Experienced racers (and track riders) are applying throttle very, very early, and enough to get the back tire just about squirming- or more.
Early on, I raced my '81 CB900F and had CB350 Honda's seemingly out accelerate me. It took me some time on track to get so they couldn't, and not much later, I was slaughtering them coming off corners.
Good track gearing is about shift points more than anything else, though not running out of rpm's in high gear on a long straight is important too.

Yes but mr R6 needs a longer chain .
So if you want to add a link to the exsisting chain how can this be done with one soft link ?

I don't know what a soft link is, but I don't think anybody would sell you one because of liability issues. LOL
You're right though, you can't just add another master link. I wasn't thinking clearly, possibly because I've never needed to lengthen a chain.
There are chain suppliers, at least in the U.S., that will sell you chain in any length you want, even if it's just one link, or two.

The link is made of softer material to make riveting the easy.(its not easy tbh) .

It's only the end of each pin that is softer so you can spread them.

Yep Its just the heads squashed out

. if the rest was as soft I doubt it would last long .
In a good kit there is a bit in a chain split kit just for the job.
But in the old days we called a master link a soft link.
They are better than split links .

Any way . the thing we should be seriously helping with is corner exit speed .
I'm guessing its more throttle control more than gearing .

Softlink. Another language issue! I forget you speak English and I speak American, or whatever it is we speak in the U.S.
It isn't easy getting good drives off corners, takes some learning and is a good thing to approach gradually on the track. Highsides lurk in this area!

Well ive gone for -1 on the front and +2 on the rear but im yet to fit the front sprocket so i dont know how well the chain will fit hopefully should be fine as the chain is pretty new!
