    How many teeth?

    I am about to buy new rear sprocket for Carro rims on my GSXR 11000 and wondering what size you guys think is optimum.

    60 tooth on the rear if you want wheelies for days or 20 tooth on the back is you want to hit light speed..
    What type of riding do you want?

    If it helps any....

    GSXR1100 1989-1992
    STOCK SIZES: Chain - 118 Links / 532 Pitch | Front Sprocket - 15 Tooth | Rear Sprocket - 48 Tooth
    GSXR1100 1993-1994
    STOCK SIZES: Chain - 114 Links / 532 Pitch | Front Sprocket - 15 Tooth | Rear Sprocket - 42 Tooth
    GSXR1100 1995-1998
    STOCK SIZES: Chain - 116 Links / 532 Pitch | Front Sprocket - 16 Tooth | Rear Sprocket - 44 Tooth


    I've always run stock on my '90 GSXR and never complained. Sometimes I wish it would pick up a little faster in tight twisties and have to drop an extra gear, so if I was to try anything is would be an extra tooth on the back. Fuck top end - don't have the points for that shit. It'll get up there fast enough, and you'll never compete with the new players anyway.

    Earlier GSXR's 1052cc had a higher primary ratio so feel lazier in acceleration than 1127cc based which seem to rev quite a bit more at 100kph than the earlier.

    I have just fitted 16T Front & 44T Rear which gives me around 3900 @ 100 kph (1127cc based 1216cc), standard is from memory around 4200 @ 100 kph

    Motor as mentioned is 1216cc with 40mm carbs and std cams so heaps of torque anyway!

    Bigger on the back is always better than smaller on the front, for many reasons:

    - wrapping the chain around a little front sprocket wears it faster
    - a bigger rear sprocket means the rear axle is closer to the front axle, shorter wheelbase for more nimble handling

    Well, that's only two reasons, I'm sure there's others.

    Pitch is the measurement between pins on the chain. These days everything is 5/8".

    Width used to be a big deal with performance bikes. 530 is the widest, that's what your serious bikes like Hyabusa, SuperBlackbird and ZX-12R run. But I reckon that metallurgy and quality control mean that you can go smaller in width without sacrificing duration - 525 or 520, if you can get the sprockets for your particular model in that size. And if you don't care about how long your chain lasts, just go 520 and an alloy rear sprocket, you might only get 5-7k out of it, same as your tyres, but it will be a hella fun 5-7k, and we're only here once.

    ben probably still has the template for a dinner plate sized rear sprocket (53T) that i used to have on the 711.

    Still good for 250kph or so, but first gear was pointless. Third was hilarious.
    more titanium than my bike

    Shit I missed that, it must be one of those prototypes that get stolen from the factories you hear about... Awesome
