hey guys...was just wondering if anyone had any clue as to what is the best sprocket tooth set up for my year bike...2000 zx6r....is it the same as the newer 636's -1/+2 ...if anyone has any clue it would really be appreciated

I chose to go -1 on the front which is the same as +3 on the rear for my 05 ZX6R. I also changed to chain to a much better unit.

While this will lower my top speed but it will allow me to reach the powerband sooner in each gear which is what I prefer.

thanks i will look into it...just a question!!! which is preferable going -1 in the front or +3 in the rear...or should i do both..???

You want to do one or the other. I chose the front since all the rear +3 were alum. I wanted to stay with a steel rear sprocket so I went -1 front, DID X roller chain and new stock size rear sprocket.

the front sprocket is less labor to change. Some say by putting -1 in the front is bad because its such a small turning radius for the chain. I think as long as you take care of your chain you'll be ok.

I did -1 Sprocket specialist and I liked the change in the lower RPMs. It gives a little more torque feeling down low without sacrificing to much top end. They use to sell some decent kits on ebay awhile back for like $150 for 2 sprockets and a X-Link chain, but Haven't seen them in awhile.



Vortek aluminum sprockets are cool, but some say the aluminum wear a lot faster and even break. Once again comes down to how you take care of the chain and if your riding hard (like at the track).

If I were to get a rear - I remember seeing sprockets with steel teeth and aluminum center (best of both worlds).
