Hi Everybody:
I've Been Following The Forum Trying To Figure Out What's The Best Sprocket Size I Should Get For My '06 R1.
So Far I Think Everyone Agrees On One Tooth Down In The Front But I Don't Know If I Shoul Do Anything On The Rear Sprocket.
So Far I Think I'm Going For The 520 Kit And Tooth Less In The Front.
If Anyone Can Give Me Some Advise On This Matter I Will Really Appriciate It.

depends on what ur do and ur weight. most are happy with -1. some go with -1 +2. personally thats alot of gearing if you ride at highway speeds much. you keep wanting to shift into another gear that is not there. maybe go with -1, +1. but in end its up to your choice and what you like.

Thanks For The Advise.
I'll Probably Leave The Same 45 In The Rear With A Light Weight Sprocket And 1 Down In The Front To See What Happens.
Thanks Agai8n And I'll Keep You All Posted.

Using a light weight sprocket is a bad idea.....It will wear out a lot faster.
What do You want Your bike to do? I have one teeth less in the front and I like it. The bike feels a lot more powerfull and wheely's a lot more easy (especialy power wheely's). The front sprocket is by far the most cheap mod to get the bike to feel this way.
By going two teeth bigger on the rear sprocket will make the bike accelerate extremely fast, but it will be hard to use the power because the front will get very light.

Thanks For The Advise.
That's Exactly What I'm Going To Do.
I'm Still Going For The 520 Light Weight Conversion Kit Hoping That My Chain Will Not Break When I'm Out In The Woods Doing Crazy Stuff.
Anyways, Thank For The Reply And I'll Let You Know How It Goes.
