thinking about a sprocket change.

[jmaz268]

can you notice a big difference in acceration between stock and upgraded sprockets

It'll dump you off the back as fast as you can twist it to full throttle!  

Have you ever accelerated 0-60mph in about 2 seconds?

Of course I have if you count Gran Tourismo 3 for playstation 2

Does that count?

 

[TruWrecks]

Kind of, but the feeling in real life is MUCH, MUCH different!

Im calling BS what car in GT3 did 0-60 in 2 secs?

 

[jmaz268]

The Pikes Peak Suzuki Escudo, with the highest turbo kit.

Go figure it was a suzuki breaking records huh, reminds of other things

 

[jmaz268]

with that I think it has 1600 hp. and if you set the rear wing all the way up and the front with no downforce it will actually ride a wheelie. Cool huh

 

[TruWrecks]

I think that car is too light to get that kind of traction for 1600 HP. It would probably just sit (almost still) and spin the rubber off the rims!

 

[jmaz268]

well it does spin the tires until about 160mph or so. It helps because it is a rally car with all-wheel drive

HIM, yep, same deal but I wasn't using my torque wrench...just thought I would give it the one last little bump and "snap". I was lucky, there was enough sticking out to grab, backed out with vise grips. I was at my dealership so I just got another out of the parts dept, not quite the same but good enough for the girls I go out with!! I'm the worst for breaking bolts, and I'm not usually that lucky....

I purchased it from rev limiter racing

I hope they work out the way I expect.

By the way what is the easiest way to remove the old sprockets and would anybody be willing to purchase them...They have about 5500 miles on them and in great shape.


John

It was recommended both sprockets be steel on the Busa. Is this true?

 

[jmaz268]

The front is steel but the rear is aluminum

Does the chain have to be changed with a 16/42 set up. i have a 42 on order for now and somewhere on here i read you can use the stock chain with 17/42 setup?

You could use the stock chain, but why would you?

How many miles on your bike with stock chain? What I'm gettin' at is that if you're going to change the sprocket, just go ahead and buy a new chain. Preferrably a Regina, EK, or a D.I.D. I personally prefer the D.I.D.'s.

Check out http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/html/main.shtml  They're pretty decent for sprocket prices.

What TruWrecks said...  Sprocket Specialties (ask for Brian Lewis) are simply great.  Ordered a 42t rear sprocket a couple weeks ago, and their shipping is super-fast.  They made a mistake and sent me a 42t for a Honda (go figure

).  Called them and they sent the correct one asap and didn't charge me any shipping because of their mistake.  Mighty fine people to do business with.  I'm now running 16/42 rather than the 16/40.  I should do a lot better at the track now.

Tru Wrecks already answered the question...

I only have 850 miles on the bike as of right now. Only chance to ride is weekends. Where is the best place to get the D.I.D chain? and thanks for the reply.
