wassup guys,

I need some advise on getting my new sprocket; i'm thinking to go with vortex 60r on my r6 along with a high tension 520 120length chain. Is there any chain you guys recommand or maybe another sprocket?

Thanks

 

I just came across EK 525 120 chain, Tensile strength:9300 lbs
seems like a good setup to go with?

 

i like sprocket specialist

steel over aluminum but thats just my steel last's longer

 

I'd say EK or RK over DID; I'd also recommend Sprocket Specialists over Vortex since Vortex seem to be too soft. PM me if you want pricing on either.

 

awesome, I will go with sprocket specialists and ek mvxz. PMed

 

PM replied.

 

i have sprocket specialist, i like the idea of the steel teeth

 

ID GO VORTEX OR SPROCKET SPECIALISTS BUT USE A DID ERVIII CHAIN THEY ARE THE ****. ALSO 60T IS PROLLY OVERKILL ON AN R6 I RUN A 52T WITH STOCK C/S AND CRANK IDLE ALL DAY.....

 

Why do you say DID? I'm just curious cause a few customers have had some stretching issues so I started directing people to RK and EK and haven't heard the same since.

 

yeah, I just talk to my local shop and was told that 525x120 link won't fit for 60teeth on 06 r6? Do anyone know if this is true?

 

I believe stock '06 R6 gearing is 16 front/48 rear and if that's the case here's what you need. If you stick with a 16 tooth front and go with a 60 tooth rear you should be able to run a 120 link; The lowest you can run is 117 so the range would be 117-120 links.

I don't have my gearing sheet accessible so if I'm wrong on the stock '06 R6 gearing please let me know.

 

thanks! 120 should be no problem, I also found this if anyone else ever need it in the future http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/S...ptimizer2.aspx

 

60T would prolly be overkill

 

Just confirm the stock front sprocket teeth to be sure though.

 

STOCK FRONT AND A 52 T REAR TAKES 118 LINKS.... THATS ALL I KNOW AND DID ERVIII ARE JUST WHAT I LIKE. I THINK UR RIGHT BOUT THE GEARING.

 

no, 16T 48T is stock for 03-05 R6 and new R6s's

 

THATS WHAT WE SAID RIGHT????

 

His is not an R6S, it's the new style R6 so I'm not sure if the gearing is the same....anyone know for sure?

 

 

OH OK NOW I UNDERSTAND IM SLOW SOMETIMES
