I've done a TON of reading and used the search tool (awesome btw) tonight on gear & sprockets, and I have a few questions.
I'm riding a 05 - 600 kat. with stock gear & sprocket (15/47) and stock chain (118).. I need to replace my chain, well you do one you do them all, correct..
So I did a few hours of research on KR and I think this is what I want. I'm looking to get (14/50) Vortex sprockets w/ a (530) RK chain (122 length or longer).. I think this setup will launch me off the line faster, but loose on the top end, also allow me to lift the front end up better than this stock setup does. I do a lot of canyon riding, will this setup work well?
Now w/ this setup how often do you have to replace the chain? I've read that when you go -1 on the front sprocket your chain heats up faster and need to be replaced a lot sooner, correct ??
I'm also having a hell of a time finding this setup as a kit. So I think I'll have to order them individually. I've clicked on every link that pertained to gear and sprockets from the search feature on KR, but couldnt find the combo kit I wanted. No big deal, I can order seperatly. I'm also ordering Ivans Jet Kit w/ K&N filters.. I'm hoping to launch outta the hole fast w/ the above setup.
Comments welcome/helpfull..
