I just tried putting a new chain on my bike and it wont fit first problem is its a 520 and i need a 530 i think? I searched and cant find a straight answer what are the stock sprocket sizes for my 1996 600 kat- it has a 13/47 setup on it right now is that right? Thanks

90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Stock setup for Pre is 14/45 with a 530 118 link chain. By changing it to 13/47 you gain more power on the low end and reduce the top end. Since the theoretical max of a stock Pre is 121mph you end up reducing the top end to about 118mph (and it takes a little longer to get there) but you gain a quicker take off from the line.
The gearing choice is strictly personal. Mine is stock 14/45 and I am in the middle of a 14/47 sprocket swap with a 530 120link chain. I'm upping the rear sprocket because in all reality I don't race and therefore I don't worry about my top end because I shouldn't be much over the speed limit to begin with.

bull **** it is, "pre" 600 has two, 88-91 is 46, 92-97 is 45 And no way in hell is it 118. 118 is stock on 98+ 600's and that 15/47 and the swing arm is 1 1/2" longer. You're putting a 120 link chain on a pre 600? Good luck with that I'm not trying to come down hard on you, but everything you stated that is incorrect, I have already stated the correct information, so take a minute and read the tread before you post some wrong information the next time.Last edited by arsenic; 02-09-2009, 12:49 AM.

no that wasn't towards you. Stock is 14/45 112. That's totally stock, depending on what you want, I can give you sizes to go with. I recommend the Vortex/RK combo. It's either an RK or a Regina chain and you can get the sprockets in whatever size you want. www.qualitysmart.com
Vortex Racing Sprockets - Suzuki - GSX600F 92-97 (notice how there is a different choice for 89-91)
JT Sprockets are decent nothing wrong with them, but the stuff from qualitysmart.com is the WHOLE deal.Last edited by arsenic; 02-09-2009, 01:15 AM.

Dude, just keep it stock for awhile. If you are new to riding like you say, the Kat will be plenty fast for you. Shoot, even a 250 seems fast when you first start out.
The kat will accel just fine with the stock gearing.2006 GSXR 600 Gone to Gixxer heaven
