Has anyone tried taking two teeth off the counter shaft? I have an 04 r1, and I know they make a 15 tooth cs sprocket, but I haven't heard of anyone using it. Anybody try it?

-2 front is about the same as -1/+3. I have -1/+2 and love it, but +3 might be a bit much. I had -1/+3 on my old FZ1, but it had less hp, too.

Front Rear Total %
17 45 2,6470 100,00%
17 46 2,7050 97,83%
17 47 2,7640 95,74%
16 45 2,8125 94,12%
16 46 2,8750 92,07%
16 47 2,9375 90,11%
15 45 3,0000 88,24%

You should avoid the 15/45 combo, it can cause bad chain/sprocket wear.

On slower tracks I use 15/44 or 15/46 and on faster tracks 16/44 or 16/46.

Now while I am at it, the size of your rear tire will also change your gearing:
Tire diameter (mm) %
190/50 635 100,00%
190/55 649 102,20%
190/60 655 103,15%
195/65 656 103,31%
200/55 656 103,31%


So if you change your rear tire from a 190/50 to a 190/55 and you change your gearing from 17/45 to 17/46 your total gearing change will be only 0.03%

I ended up in a situation where I have a 15 front and a 48 rear (-2, +3). Typically I ride a (-1, +3) and love it just fine. I had a snafu when I recently ordered my sprockets (went back to a 530 from a 520 as this bike isnt going to see the track). Its too late to correct them for now since I am heading to the convention tomorrow...so, I am stuck with the combo for now.

Already rode around a little bit. DOnt get close to my typical top end speed (thats ok) and I just ride around in a gear higher than normal....I just have to be careful of lifting the front end if I get on the gas hard...it really wants to come up.
