Default Has anyone out there changed out their stock Sprockets?

Looking to put in some of that orange goodness in the rear... Has anyone out there done it yet?

I'd like to pick up a little more "snapability" to the front end (clutch aside) and was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions?

If so, what number rear sprocket would you, or have you gone too, and why?


thanks.

thanks.

by all means. i went down one in the front and ordered a selection of four rears for different tracks.

do yourself a favor and do the 520 size, and get a chain. the stock stuff is CRAZY expensive. (and always out of stock)

i went to PMP and they made everything that night and shipped the next day, for about under half the price.


and they do orange.

thanks for the info Sleazy...
Curious... what size is the stock one? I could look it up.. but figured if you're on now, or shortly, you may have me the time, and save me the diggin'.

I'm assuming that the 520 is larger in diameter than stock?

Also, down one in the front... that would be a what?... 17?

and lastly.. how do you find the "selection"... I'm a slightly above average rider... but am at this point resisting the temptation to take my VERY expensive KTM to the track, as I have two other bikes specifically for that very purpose.

This will be the street bomber so like I said in a previous post... just looking for a slight increase in "bumpable front end" torque.
Thanks chief.
