Its time to change out the chain, so im going to do the front and rear sprocket too... I have a 97 Gxsr 600 with 25g miles and I have no clue what Im looking for... I heard to go 2up in the front and 1 down in the rear how good is that... I like my top in but I like my tourqe too... So I just wanna lower my top end a little and get some more tourqe ... and some site with good prices would be great too...

If you want more torque you need to go the other way: down one in the front and up two in the back for example. With this setup you will loose a bit on the top end.

I don't know anything about your particular bike, but I had a 600 and that setup was pretty nice.

yep I am with slack on this one... If you want more top speed and longer gears you add teeth to the front and take away from the back... I have a 1997 gixxer 750:punk and I just did mine, it was 16 and 43 and now it is 15 and 46... the gears are much shorter but there is alot more torqe and I think that it makes my bike run better... thats just me... doing this will however throw your speedometer off... you can buy a $100 deal that will fix it but I dont care... It reads 12% to high.... I dont really mind that at all since i never used it anyways... well, hope that helps ya...

Hey man, I have a 97 600 as well And I have 14 45 on it now. Originally it had 16 45. There was definetly a noticable differance. The only thing I found was that with the stock chain beind a 525 I believe is that you are pretty limited to the number of sprockets that are available. If you go for the 520 chain conversion there are tones of sprockets available.

Never go down more than ONE tooth in the front! The rear is up to you.
I´d use 530 chain/sprockets for the street for longevity/durability!
Also use a STEEL rear sprocket. It´s alittle heavier than aluminum but will last alot longer!

Helll ya well im goin to go with one down front 2 up in the rear forsure any sites yall know has some good prices??? and what chain will work???? 525?

If you don't see what you want listed for your bike, just call them up. They'll get you what you need.

use 530 chain!

I'd go with a 520 chain ...

Is that what stock is for the '97 750? I have the same bike, but I bought mine used and the sprocket has already been upgraded. I am trying to figure out what he changed from stock.

Yes, 16/43 is stock

if you plan on lowering your gears for more low end torque-definetly go with the heavier pitch chain-and going too small in the front will wear out the chain and your engine much faster-it's safer, but more $ to go bigger on the rear
