Did this exact mod. yesterday :wink:

Makes a huge amount of difference - really wakes it up. Did think about running 14/45 but went with 15/48 as I think that 14 gives too tight a turn at the front.

So how long of a chain did you need for the 15/48 setup? Does any 48t sprocket made for a 530 fit on these or does it have to be a suzuki?

On my 1st gen. B12 I used a 114 link chain which leaves the adjusters almost at the end of their rearwards travel - 112 links would be fine. I used this set up to give me a little bit more wheel base for some drag runs + I'd like to try a 49t sprocket at some point.

I ran 13/52 on my GSXR 1216 dragbike, with drag slick and wheelie bars. I would top out in 5th gear in the 1/4 at 136 mph, 9.60 with 240 lb rider.
It would hold the front tire off the ground past the 1/8 mile mark. I was using a auto shifter and had it shifting at 10,750 rpms. All you had to do, was hold the throttle wide open, release the clutch, and let off the throttle when you crossed the finnish line :motorsmile:

I was just tossing the idea around myself..

Was leaning towards a 47 though.

What does it turn for RPM up about 80?

I have a 48 tooth steel. The result gets me around the mountains with just the right gearing -  2nd and 3rd. It needed 112 links. If you can fit yours with the original chain, the wheel base will be nice and short so she'll be a bit more wheelie prone - 15/45 to 15/48 is a 6.6% increase change in power/mileage/RPM. Enjoy it.

I've been running a 15/48 too,I like it but sure wish I had a 6th gear. Just bought a 16 counter wich would be about stock to sqeeze out milage and can use the same chain. Also have a 51 rear and a racing chain for track days. But seems a little short on the street.

Post by: stefanenyce808 on May 07, 2006, 02:48:12 AM

Hello, I just got a got vortex setup for a 525 chain. The front is a 16t sprocket and the rear is a 47t. Does anyone know what type of length chain I should be looking for and what is a good one to get? I have04 GSXR 750.

Thanks,

Excuse me while I yawn. What time is it?

Clueless on your specific requirements as this is BanditAlley but, if all is same in chains and sprockets, there should be no need for a different chain length. Sounds like you're reducing the front and increasing the rear. You may need to move the wheel a little closer but no added links should be needed.

As for chains, it's all about personal choice. I like EK but know of many that prefer DID. O-ring or X-ring that is of proper strength for your 04 is all that is required.

Been there done that . back from 48 to std 45. speedo inaccuracy increases from std 8-12% overead by about another 6% on 2 gen also kills top end, increases fuel consumption and not so good for long distance rides to rallies etc. Was gr8 fun while it lasted and makes it more zippy around town. I tend to do a fair bit of riding clocked up 22000km in 1 1/2 years, so its horses for courses i supppose.

Been there, done that & hated it. I ride to many highway miles, and extra highway RPM's took the joy away from the increased fun I had in the city.

I am also back to stock and will probably stay there
