    Having to adjust a chain after 50 miles means that either the chain is spent or the chain is new and cheap. Yours is spent.

    GET A NEW SET OF SPROCKETS WITH A 520 CHAIN. DONT GO CHEAP!!!! NO ONE ON HERE WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH AS FAR AS GEARING GOES SO JUST GO WITH THE TYPICAL -1+2 AND SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU.

    Re: Chain & Sprocket Info Help

    Vellos not trying to thread jack you, but I have a couple questions about this topic. I have an 07 R6 S model. I am getting ready to order a chain and sprockets. Question: what size sprocket should I order for the front and rear, and how many links will I need for the chain, also should I get the clip or rivet. The site I am ordering the chain from only has 120 linked chain.

    The rivet style gives you a little more piece of mind. I had the clip on my master link on another bike nearly come off. Most sites will tell you the stock gearing and the linked site will help you calculate RPMs and Top Speed with given gear ratios. And if you need another length, try another site or a different brand?

    The stock gearing for your bike is 16/45 with a 114 link chain according to gearing commander for 06-07 R6...

    Looks like an 07 R6 has 16 front, 45 rear, 114 links.

    Spooph helped me out with this. Turns out my sprockets are alright for the life on them. My chain is okay too except for two links which are causing drag, clunking sounds, and the chain to loosen up quickly.

    I'll be getting a 520 x-ring chain and a -1 +2 sprocket setup. Possibly the life-time guarentee ones from Sidewinder.

    Stock for the 07 R6s is 16/48 and 120 links will be good for anything you are thinking about Concabar...

    That did seem off seeing how the stock for the 09 CBR1KRR is 42 rear. I remember the R6s being "a lot" more. I pulled up the R6 assuming it was the same. Thank you for the correction.

    Thanks EJ. After I looked on online it was 16/48. I could of sworn you said a lesser number on the chain link, but I can't remember

    Re: Chain & Sprocket Info Help

    You will remove some links depending on what sprockets you get... I think I had to cut off 4 with my -1+2 setup so yes, less links but you need to buy the 120.

    Re: Chain & Sprocket Info Help

    120 is standard for aftermarket chains, like EZ said, you then cut to length depending on your setup

    Nice; if you have one, you can dremel the master link as well. I'm sure someone has one you can borrow.

    Yea I don't have a dremel either. Hopefully the parts will be here by the end of the week, so I can put them on sunday.

    Re: Chain & Sprocket Info Help

    Finally ordered -1/+2 sprockets. Then tried to order my OEM chain and the guy was like you can't use the same chain length when you change sprocket sizes. So I cancelled my order.

    Then found out what chain length I needed for the sprocket change... and it was the exact same length as before. But I found a D.I.D. x-ring chain for half the price of OEM.
