IF I WANT TO GO UP TWO TEETH IN THE REAR, DO I NEED A NEW CHAIN? MINE HAS ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. ALSO, WHAT SPROCKET COMPANIES ARE THE BEST FOR AN 02 R1?

I have a 44 Votex aluminum rear on mine. Thats 1 up with 7000 miles on it. I put it on right away and show no signs of wear. I'm putting a new chain and sprockets on for this year probably 520. It raised the rpms about 200 maybe 250 in every gear

if chain and/or sprockets are old and worn, it is important to change both. If not, one will wear the other one prematurely.

I use exclusively sprocket specialists stuff and DID chains; I can squeeze over 50 000 miles out of them every time......with a scottoiler.
