Easiest Sprocket Conversion
I've decided I want to do a good ol' sprocket change for better acceleration. I have a 2006 Katana 750, comes stock with 15/45 setup. I know I want to drop the front sprocket to a 14, but I'm not sure what I want to do with the rear one. Also, my bike only has 3K miles on it, so everything is obviously still relatively new. Can I do a 14/48 or 14/47 setup with the stock chain? Where's the best place to get durable sprockets? Would simply dropping the front to a 14 and leaving the rear one alone make a decent improvement? I'm not putting it on the track, so I'm not looking for any high priced racing stuff. And as you can tell, I'm a bit of a noob with this stuff. Thanks for any and all help.

Leave the front alone and go +3 in the rear....AND follow MD's advice. The answers lie not so hidden in this very section.1999 Black Katana GSX-600FComment

With ratios like that I expect you are a city rider only. I say that because I swaped out my stock for quicker acceleration but on my freeway travels, the RPMs jumped 2,000.Originally posted by zukistoner420 View Post
It only took me two weeks to go back to the stock ratios.Comment

If you don't do any highway travel, then 14/47 or 48 should be good. I went from a 15/45 to 16/43 setup an my rpms went from 7000 to 6000 at 80 mph. If you go with the 14/47, you should see over 8000 rpms at 80 mph
also make sure you get 530 sprockets if your going to use the stock chain. you will be goodLast edited by Mat0302; 02-13-2009, 11:53 AM.Comment

I went 14/50 on my pre 600, sucked on the freeway but around town it had some scoot.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
