Tony,
in the WIKI there is a list of inter-changeable stuff like sprockets listed that would be where I would start.

I ran a 14/49 (520 chain) sprocket set-up without any issues. Gave the FZR the "off the line, out of the corner" pep I was looking for.

Word of warning do NOT go under 14 teeth front the load on smaller amounts of teeth SIGNIFICANTLY increases wear on sprockets/ chains & front sprocket bearings.

If you go with an aluminum rear sprocket from Vortex, there are options from 43 to 53 tooth rear sprockets.

Do not add links to a chain. The links stretch with Wear and Tear, adding new link/links will cause a tight slack chain effect.

Damaging rear wheel, swing arm, and front sprocket, bearings. Probably other issues Don't do it!
