Sprockets

Time to change sprockets chain can anyone give me some advise on sprockets been told to -1 front and + 2 on the back it is the 04 blade.cheers

 

Not sure bout the sprockets but welcome to the forum mate! Introduce yourself fella good bunch on here

 

Orate taff, i posted a very similar thread to this a day or two ago in mods and upgrades section. Quite a few replies and a whole lot of imfo and should answer your question for you

 

Welcome Taff.

Your '04 gearing as standard should be 16 front and 42 rear. If you go +2 on the back then it will be the same as the '06/'07 Bade and make a big improvement. You can go +4 on the back if the chain't long enough, or simply go +2 on the back and -1 on the front, which will have roughly the same result and bring a big smile to your face. Just be aware of the front wanting to lift at any time when pinned

 

Oh, and it's 530 pitch BTW if that helps.

 

Defo + 2 on rear to give more punch and easier on the throttle wheelies if ur into that, nearly 57 and I love it. If you dont do a lot of miles fit a 520 kit when ur there, u can fit a -1 later if you feel you want even more punch.

 

I've got a 42 rear on my 06 blade the min. I've never changed it. Is 42 right on the 06?

 

thats correct james. rr6 standard is 16 f 42r

 

Thanks

Going with -1 +2 on the rear getting ready to tear up Brecon Beacons

 

Did I boo boo there as my RR6 is 46 rear, which I thought was +2 and changed my RR5 from 42 to 44.

 

This has been bugging me for a while, I have a rr5 and checked this morning I have 15/42 setup. Is the stock 16/42 or 16/40?

 

Standard set up mate is 16 40

 

Thanks, ok so mine has always been set up this way. Can't imagine what stock felt like, as I'm looking for improvements on the current set up. Never had an issue with the front lifting.
