I am running a SV650 Vortex rear sprocket on my 400, but I don't think the fronts are interchangeable between the two bikes though.

Yeah - my recollection is that only one was interchangeable.

Sorry for asking again what is 93 bandit 400 stock front and rear sprocket size??

US spec Bandit 400 had 14/46 front/rear sprockets.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the info. It looks like I'm going to change the rear sprocket to a larger size(TBD) and I'll check out the SV650 sprockets since that seems to work.
Zhi, did you change to a bigger sprocket or keep the stock size?

I actually went to a smaller 44 gear in the rear so I can hold the lower gears a little longer for cruising around town. If you want more pickup and go, you'd probably want to go larger rear.

93s are different than 91-92. One uses a 46 rear, the other a 47. I can't remember which is which at the moment. Either someone will chime in with the answer or I'll check later.

You are right again. I checked and the 91-92 uses a 47T and the 93 uses the 46T rear

If I may,
1)Sprocket Specialist was way backordered (time was short). So I went and called Sprocket Center (888-265-2141).
2)I got the front in steel with the stock 14 teeth.
3)I got the rear in alloy with 49(2 extra) teeth.
4)Both are for a 520 size chain conversion. This gives you a lighter and less expensive chain option.(EK 520SRX(114 link) from BikeBandit.com)
5)Everything was in stock from AFAM and cost just shy of $90 for both.
6)The larger rear lowered the gearing for more acceleration. The lighter parts reduced spinning weight.
7)I did a couple other repairs and modifications at the same time so I can't give a controlled performance gain report.
8)It does have alot more punch and now goes to the redline for a higher top speed.
9)I guess I got the best of both worlds for once. 125mph-2nd gear pulls!

Congrats, sounds like a good change. Try to stay out of jail, the cops won't be nearly as impressed with your 2nd gear wheelies as the rest of us.

Have Fun
Russ

HI Frankenstein, thanks for the info. I think I'll be doing something similar.
