Dru,
I thought the stock for the 600 was 15 /45 as the final drive gearing ?
15/46 is stock on the early fzr600s, then they changed to 15/45. What I meant by that was a 50t aftermarket rear, so it should have read like this: Alot of people run a 14 front and a 47 rear which is pretty close to running the stock 15t front with an aftermarket 50t rear.

On another note I do have a 44T(used), 46T(used), 49T(new) and a 50T(new) all in 520 pitch for sale.
fzr660/400: fzr400 3en1 frame, 3en2 swinger, custom single seat subframe, fzr660 motor conversion, APE adjustable cam gears, full D&D 4-2-1 exhaust, falicon clutch basket, ignitech ignition, R6 front end with tz250 wheel, ohlins shock, storz steering damper, tzr250 rear wheel.

weighs 166kg wet (25kg lighter than my stock fzr600).

just remember thought that with differnt/ bigger sprockets come lower high speed/top speed and higher rpms which = more gas consumption .. so really figure out if your lookin to pop wheelies , and do you do alot of highway driving because then you might want somthing alil more perkier but not as much powerful. i first went 15-45 when i was a Noob .. hell im still a Noob LMAO .. but really i didnt see that incredible differnce from 15-45 to 14-47 that i thought i was gonna get .. or maybe its just that i gained 20 lbs so the wieght is making it feel the same ..lolol but you will love to see your bike lifting in the air just off of throttle .
a member here that goes by name of v8killas , had a so called bored out fzr600 bored to 750 , which i doubt it was because he was running stock gearing and im running 14-47 and i prob outwieghed him by 60-70 lbs but when we went all out balls to the walls from 1st rolling at about 20 WOT i would keep up with him almost thru all the gears till i think the weight advantage for him kicked in .He shoulda smoked me given wieght and motor ratios' and MIKE94fzr .. you wer witness .. so he or no1 cant call BS ..lol

you can get the whole setup for about 150 bucks unless you source the parts seperately .
yes i saw no BS hed keep up Agreed
