Default zx6r chains and sprockets

hey all you racers out there

what brands and what size sprockets and chains are you guys running.



been looking and im not sure what i should get. ive seen alot of people who have the -1 front and +2 rear. is this the best combo? not sure if i wanna do both front and rear. thinking just maybe +2 rear and stock front. what do you guys think. and why do you like and recommend your set up.



thanks

1st thing is when you ask actual racers, they will typically use a product based on contingency money alone (as long it works during the race).

But all in all on your request +2 rear sprocket is the all around do it all gearing for street & track (if you ride on the highway at all).
as for brand you will get many opinions, i use stealth sprockets as lighter than stock but stilll has a steel outer ring for longevity.

If you go all aluminum i would say driven sprockets (just make sure it is hard anodized)
for a chain DID or RK always quality kit

depend on what rear tire you have too. I've changed mine around a bit. Started the year with a -1/+zero through 2. Now I'm going with a stock front (16) and +3 through 5 on the reasr depending on the track. Also, I use a 190 rear

I put -1 front and +3 rear on my 2005 636 and my front tire rarely remained on the ground after that. The bike still had plenty of top end though.
