Need advice on new chain and sprockets

[Nasdaq]

I'm looking for more torque in lower gears so I don't have to shift so high and as often in the city. Can someone provide a good link to purchase a good chain and sprocket kit? I've found some but they are stock and vary from 170-210 $. Any input would be greatly appreciated. How much should I expect to pay for installation at a shop? Newb here, sorry

Okay, sounds good. I still need a recommendation on the sizes to make that will improve my torque so I don't have to shift so often in 1st thru 3rd

That might be the case if you improved the torque of the actual engine. By changing sprockets for more initial poke, you're gunna be changing to second gear sooner - unless you really bugger the ratios so you take off in second, but what's the point in that???

You know, there's a sub-forum called "Tyre Talk, Chains and Sprockets". If you have a look there, you'll find the answer you seek without asking the same question for the 1,345,281st time - and you'll have an immediate answer.

Sorry. I don't know much at all about bikes, as well as computers. I was just looking for some information on what the different sizes do and some simple numbers that would help with what I don't like about my bike, which is having to shift so much in city driving

Generally speaking, your probably looking at something like 15/49 or 15/50. This will lower your top end though, as any change made to the sprockets is an all across the board change.

I'm currently running 15/50 and like it a lot. No need to down shift a lot of the time as I can just power through it. I do much city riding, but this is in ref. to aggressive riding in the curves. We don't have much straights around here.

Thanks a lot bro. There's just a lot of 30-40 mph cruising an I hate having to shift to 3rd so it's not so loud. 15/47 is stock, so running a higher 2nd # gives more low end?

Bad experience with Volar Chains - Stay away from D2 Moto - 7k miles and one season of driving and the chain was shot. You get what you pay for DID or RK sound great.
