Halfdead Rider Cuz I clicked on da video to watch him put a chain and sprocket on, and half his ride he was explaining how sprockets worked, which I know already. 💁
The only thing I don't like about changing the chain out is having to tighten it up more regularly for awhile. But I love the 520 -1/+2 conversion on my GSXR600. Makes a world of difference and I never see the top speed anyway. No track days, sadly.
Just picked up a 2020 R6 and your videos have helped me do a tremendous amount of work to my bike so far and I am not a very handy guy! Can’t wait to slap on some driven sprockets. Probably won’t be as conservative as you though 😎
Do you ever miss the speed of that R1? I wrecked mine hard after one month and I'm thinking of that new R6... P.S. The amount of times I've watched EVERY vids of yours...always glad to see you doing what you love. Keep up the positivity, the world needs it!
I went up 2 front, up 7 rear. My main reason for that was because the only black rear sprocket I found was a 50T the original was 43T. I originally left the front stock, was fun but it's on a 125 lol so I up'd it by 2 to bring it back and slightly past stock gearing.
bruh I know you posted this video months ago but if you could tell me what app you use on your phone for that nice gps/mph layout I would be forever grateful, thanks!
Aluminum is not strong enough if your going to wheelie, i found out first hand on a 03 636, i only buy steel and my 11 gsxr 750 i have steel. I was gonna do the sprocket change as well but she was touchy enough in first gear and now i flashed the ecu no way.
Motonosity but u dont ride like i do or like many and it could have been a very cheap sprocket but it was a vortex so, i do wheelies constantly and could have been do to to much slack in the chain etc, one thing love the vids been watching for 3 years and thank you commenting lol. And hoping to make a texas meet up.
Duey_didit if you break your chain snap goes into your casing and oil every where, u break teeth easy cheap fix chains are more expensive than a sprocket cant agree with ya there.
@motonosity quick question are you running front sproket is a 15t an rear is a 45t i checked your Amazon link but brings up alot of diffrent sprokets just want to run same set up u did
DID U KNOE? that the chain breaker tool can push the pin through without having to grind the head first Also fun fact from STG on the speedo healer: "Important Note: the 2017 - 2018 R6 uses the wheel speed sensors for the speedometer and odometer. When you change the gearing on this bike it does not cause the speedometer to become any more inaccurate than it was from the factory. Changing the size of the tires this would cause speedometer inaccuracy." Which explains why speedo was accurate
It’s never specifically stated just said down 1 in front and stayed same on back but can you tell us what the actual gearing it is you used on the links to amazon there’s a bunch of different choices that pop up did you use 15T front and 47T in back or does anyone know what stock gearing is on 2017 Yamaha r6?
Today I've changed the chain and both sprockets to 520. What is did notice right of way when i tried the bike the Engine light came on, is this normal when you change the spront sprocket to a 15 tooth?
Question motonosity. When i was taught how to tighten my chain I was told to make sure i tighten each side the same to make sure the back tire doesn't become un aligned. Is there anything you had to do for that when you put the rear tire back on
I screwed up and took the chain off before removing the front sprocket … Any advice from my one on how to remove front sprocket without chain !!!! plz help
Started getting interested in bikes and found your channel been watching for a couple weeks now thanks for the content! Hopefully I’ll have an r3 or r6 by the end of the month still going back and forth. I don’t wanna get too much bike for my first but think I could handle it I’m not really reckless or into taking chances that I’m not confident in. I’ve got a couple of buddy’s that have bikes and they say I’ll be fine on a r6. Thanks for the videos keep it up!
Welcome man! Great mindset to have. Get comfortable on something like an R3, even stretch your abilities with a few track days, and then move up if you want to and are able to!
I'm confused you said that most people just go with what they read up on which is stock front and +2 rear, and you sort of chuckled at that setup. But you're doing -1 front and stock rear and according to what you said, it's like almost practically the same...?
I like all your video keep it up man want I ask you if u have a 1000 cc bike why change sprocket from stock? I want do change my sprocket but confuse by the -1 front am a street help me
Just wanted to let you know take your R6 to yamaha and they will do an ECU flash for the fuel pump to pump more fuel and it will fix the cold start problem so you dont have to use throttle to help start for Free... ps I enjoy watching your videos I also have a R6 2018 and it's a blast to ride
Hello its good that your bike starts better now, to me it sounds like it running lean that's normal for EFI engines, that's why when you crack open the throttle it starts better, you might want to have a mechanic look at your Air Fuel Mixture running lean ruins engine a good smoke emission test could help a lot. compare the test result with your R1 if that bike runs better results should be close.
Sweet timing with the video. I'm expecting delivery of 16 / 47 sprockets and fresh chain for my 08 R6 early next week. It'll be my first time changing them by myself too, wish me luck 🤣
I used a breaker bar, still was a right pain. After bending back the washer get a slightly smaller socket on the face of the nut, give it a few sharp hits with a hammer. It should help break the seal of the lock-tight and make it a little easier, if it still seems impossible keep shocking it with the socket and try again. Apart from that it's a fun job if you like working on bikes.
I actually met you at the SBK ride and told you I have the black 2017 R6 I am also changing my chain and sprockets. How much top end speed do you think you took off with the set up you have? On my stock set up my top speed is 171mph with the ECU flash. I’m looking to get some more acceleration but not lose too much too end.
take it easy motonosity, pity im in australiar i could use one of those key tags .but im selling my 99 blackbird now i wounder if theres a current chanel covering them.
I went with the stock sprockets on my zx10r, im happy with the power levels and didnt really wanna turn it into a wheelie machine lol, as it kind of already is. I did go with a nice color combo tho and a aluminum rear sprocket and gold chain jus for flash lol
Sir motonosity, if a rider like me who is 105kg rides a 150cc bike, just a big and tall guy, not really fat just heavy, but if i go 1tooth up on the rear, do i still lose topspeed or do i just help the bike go back to its normal torque and topspeed, cuz i really cant reach the redline on 5th with my weight. And i have other friends with thesame bike but lighter so they are much faster.
Much appreciate the insite. Im familiar with gearing from messing with R/C's but your right the infamous 1 down 2 up is mostly what you see. And noone really mentions the fact you'll need a speedo healer after the adjustment. I personally was thinking just dropping 1 tooth on the front and see what happens. Thanks for showing me. Great info, Peace from PA 07zx6r
Any plans to calibrate the speedo? Mine is out by about the same amount (although in KPH) and would love to correct it. Also, when you've got it above 10k RPM, come off the throttle to slow down, then just crack it open again for insane exhaust popping ;)
Hey bro i see your comment is 1y ago so this won't help you much but hopefully together we may aid the next lad. DO NOT CUT THE CHAIN YET The very first thing you want to do is loosen the front sprocket before cutting the chain Because: you can use the rear brake to hold the sprocket in place (so you won't put any stress on your clutch or gears) while in gear or not.
0:51 Saved me lots of time 10/10 text layer
Why would you skip and miss watching him gun it? :)
Halfdead Rider Cuz I clicked on da video to watch him put a chain and sprocket on, and half his ride he was explaining how sprockets worked, which I know already. 💁
I know it already too, I've done it already too, I've made videos of it already too, I still clicked on it and watched it lol ;)
I just bought a 07 r6 today. Absolutely in love with it. Love the vids bro. Keep it up. 😏
Have a 06! 👊
Have a 07, thinking of changing to 17?
As much I appreciate your effort of adding the time stamp. I'D NEVER EVER SKIP YOUR CONTENT. #GangNosity4Life
My man 🙏🏻
You are a Nice Guy
Wonder if you still feel the same currently lol
The only thing I don't like about changing the chain out is having to tighten it up more regularly for awhile. But I love the 520 -1/+2 conversion on my GSXR600. Makes a world of difference and I never see the top speed anyway. No track days, sadly.
Haha that first ride after a chain and sprocket replacement, always a blast!
Yes you do need to get that bike on the track!!
I remember doing this job to my old bike. A feat for sure, but totally worth it in the end! Can't wait to see more content bro, ride safe.
Nice video man, helped me out installing new sprockets and chain on my 2005 GSXR 600. 👍
Just picked up a 2020 R6 and your videos have helped me do a tremendous amount of work to my bike so far and I am not a very handy guy! Can’t wait to slap on some driven sprockets. Probably won’t be as conservative as you though 😎
same i got the orange one!. are you going with the 120 link chain. 15 front tooth and 45 rear tooth? i am. alluminum
Do you ever miss the speed of that R1? I wrecked mine hard after one month and I'm thinking of that new R6... P.S. The amount of times I've watched EVERY vids of yours...always glad to see you doing what you love. Keep up the positivity, the world needs it!
That Yamaha blue though!
I went up 2 front, up 7 rear. My main reason for that was because the only black rear sprocket I found was a 50T the original was 43T. I originally left the front stock, was fun but it's on a 125 lol so I up'd it by 2 to bring it back and slightly past stock gearing.
Hey whatever gets the job done lol
Hey whatever gets the job done lol
@@motonosity what we’re the sprocket sizes you used?
I'm picking up a 2010 R6 tomorrow. Upgrading from a 2013 cbr500r. Needless to say I'm excited
bruh I know you posted this video months ago but if you could tell me what app you use on your phone for that nice gps/mph layout I would be forever grateful, thanks!
Looks like DigiHUD from the google play store.
Aluminum is not strong enough if your going to wheelie, i found out first hand on a 03 636, i only buy steel and my 11 gsxr 750 i have steel. I was gonna do the sprocket change as well but she was touchy enough in first gear and now i flashed the ecu no way.
JanK GiXxeR I would never use aluminum. Not really that much weight savings, and I have seen people break teeth off them.
Duey_didit why would u want to pop a chain u run the risk of messing up your bike.
I've got at least 20k miles on aluminum sprockets. Never had an issue.
Motonosity but u dont ride like i do or like many and it could have been a very cheap sprocket but it was a vortex so, i do wheelies constantly and could have been do to to much slack in the chain etc, one thing love the vids been watching for 3 years and thank you commenting lol. And hoping to make a texas meet up.
Duey_didit if you break your chain snap goes into your casing and oil every where, u break teeth easy cheap fix chains are more expensive than a sprocket cant agree with ya there.
Hey man, great video! Currently doing the same project. What torque did you use for the 6 rear sprocket bolts?
That R6 start-up 😥
You gotta start it w a semi cracked open throttle seams to be the secret. If i dont mine will do the same thing. Its an r6 bug
how does it compare to a zx6r now? is it possible to get it torquey as a zx6r with more tune and work?
Hey man can you lmk what’s up with people telling me the front sprocket goes on logo facing inwards
@motonosity quick question are you running front sproket is a 15t an rear is a 45t i checked your Amazon link but brings up alot of diffrent sprokets just want to run same set up u did
Thank you for making this video. Got me thinking for my next sprocket and chain change.
I'm really glad you explained what the gearing changes do. Now I have a decision to make...
The videos keep getting better and better! Love it
Calibrator is useful for measuring the amount of flare on the master link also. Used the same driven products on my old CBR1K. Kept it stock teeth.
What is the torque specs for the rear sprocket nuts? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m doing the same thing to my R6 as soon as the weather gets warmer
I have a question... how does your digihud change color when speeding? Where can I change that? And can I customize every speed color?
DID U KNOE? that the chain breaker tool can push the pin through without having to grind the head first
Also fun fact from STG on the speedo healer: "Important Note: the 2017 - 2018 R6 uses the wheel speed sensors for the speedometer and odometer. When you change the gearing on this bike it does not cause the speedometer to become any more inaccurate than it was from the factory. Changing the size of the tires this would cause speedometer inaccuracy."
Which explains why speedo was accurate
Thank you you just answered the question i posted
I'm curious what would happen if I put a 45 on the rear and a 16 tooth in the front.... On my 2007 Yamaha r6
How u know how many chain links you need ?
What gearing did you do and did you lose top speed ?
So would steal last longer then aluminum?
It’s never specifically stated just said down 1 in front and stayed same on back but can you tell us what the actual gearing it is you used on the links to amazon there’s a bunch of different choices that pop up did you use 15T front and 47T in back or does anyone know what stock gearing is on 2017 Yamaha r6?
Stock 16/45 common is 1 down in the front 2 up in the back
He says it alot in the beginning its 16f and 45r
4:30 15f/45r
How do you not need a speedo healer ?? My bike is about 10% out just stock. Just waiting on a chain to arrive before I do the same.
I bought an r3as my first bike bit hoping to upgrade to an r6 asap. That bike is beautiful.
Just did this to my gsxr 600 can’t wait to test it out
Great teaching l do it by eye also. That’s some nice acceleration on that 600!
Do I have to remove the rear brake calipers before taking the wheels off? Or will the caliper come right off?
Please do more r6 videos, missed them
Just picked up a 2018 R6. I LOVE IT
Question it's the front sprocket should face out or in (words)
Today I've changed the chain and both sprockets to 520. What is did notice right of way when i tried the bike the Engine light came on, is this normal when you change the spront sprocket to a 15 tooth?
Question motonosity. When i was taught how to tighten my chain I was told to make sure i tighten each side the same to make sure the back tire doesn't become un aligned. Is there anything you had to do for that when you put the rear tire back on
I screwed up and took the chain off before removing the front sprocket … Any advice from my one on how to remove front sprocket without chain !!!! plz help
What size was the front sprocket nut? @motonosity I’m actually changing sprockets right now. Glad you came out with this video.
Even though it was cursed, I miss my R6. That bike always sounded great!
The R6 will always have a place in my heart :D
After all the chains i have took off using one of those tools I promise you don’t have to grind it down to keep it from breaking
Started getting interested in bikes and found your channel been watching for a couple weeks now thanks for the content!

Not what he said . He said most people go -1 2+
What's the speed app that ur using on ur phone
I like all your video keep it up man want I ask you if u have a 1000 cc bike why change sprocket from stock? I want do change my sprocket but confuse by the -1 front am a street help me
speedo didn't change probably because it takes data from abs/traction sensor on wheel, not gearbox
That's exactly what I said in the video lol
ohh, didn't hear that! ;)
Just wanted to let you know take your R6 to yamaha and they will do an ECU flash for the fuel pump to pump more fuel and it will fix the cold start problem so you dont have to use throttle to help start for Free... ps I enjoy watching your videos I also have a R6 2018 and it's a blast to ride
Have you changed you gearing?
Down in front causes a bit more chain wear, up in back the opposite. I would like to see you do a speed healer install video!
Hello its good that your bike starts better now, to me it sounds like it running lean that's normal for EFI engines, that's why when you crack open the throttle it starts better, you might want to have a mechanic look at your Air Fuel Mixture running lean ruins engine a good smoke emission test could help a lot. compare the test result with your R1 if that bike runs better results should be close.
What app you using on your phone for the gps speedometer?
Digihud I think
Olysse speedometer works too
Sweet timing with the video. I'm expecting delivery of 16 / 47 sprockets and fresh chain for my 08 R6 early next week. It'll be my first time changing them by myself too, wish me luck 🤣
have fun with the front sprocket nut :) should not be a problem if you are lucky enough to have an impact gun, I don't and it was a right b#*%h!
Halfdead Rider haha yeah I expect it to be a bitch. I'll be using a breaker bar
I used a breaker bar, still was a right pain. After bending back the washer get a slightly smaller socket on the face of the nut, give it a few sharp hits with a hammer. It should help break the seal of the lock-tight and make it a little easier, if it still seems impossible keep shocking it with the socket and try again. Apart from that it's a fun job if you like working on bikes.
Will these parts work on a 2005 Yamaha r6?
I actually met you at the SBK ride and told you I have the black 2017 R6 I am also changing my chain and sprockets. How much top end speed do you think you took off with the set up you have? On my stock set up my top speed is 171mph with the ECU flash. I’m looking to get some more acceleration but not lose too much too end.
take it easy motonosity, pity im in australiar i could use one of those key tags .but im selling my 99 blackbird now i wounder if theres a current chanel covering them.
looking into the vortex v3 hfr chain and sprocket kit for my 2017 r6. first time changing the gearing on a motorcycle though..
Black sprockets look so much cleaner!!! Nice mod my friend 👌😎
If you go down in the front and up two in the rear on this bike will i have to change the wheel speed sensor or will it be off
I have the same bike same ecu flash same airfilter and block off plates but a different exhaust so im just wondering
Does the app you're using record the data too or is it just for real time comparison?
What App on your phone,
are you use for to monitor your speed?
Motonosity, when will you start streaming again on twitch?
Hey Brent, how tall are you? I really like the r6 but I don’t know if it would be a comfortable fit for me (I’m 6ft6)
On my 05 ninja 636 i went -1 on the front stock rear is more then enough for me!!
You up to come to dallas to run in a big 600 race
I went with the stock sprockets on my zx10r, im happy with the power levels and didnt really wanna turn it into a wheelie machine lol, as it kind of already is. I did go with a nice color combo tho and a aluminum rear sprocket and gold chain jus for flash lol
Can somebody please tell me that sweet music played at 10:50?
hey Motonosity what do you do with your old chains?
When's the R3 build series coming up?
How many links are on his chain for the 15/45 setup?
serious question would you prefer a r6 more than a gsxr or cbr?
gsxr and cbr are off the map no one buys those anymore lol
What kind of mileage /life span do you get off of an aluminum sprocket ?
What Gps/speedometer app on your phone do you use in this video ? curious because i just bought a 03 r6
Hey broski. Anyone know which size sprocket nuts are required?!
Buy Lightech chain adjusters.... worth every penny.
Had them on my R1. I agree.
Sir motonosity, if a rider like me who is 105kg rides a 150cc bike, just a big and tall guy, not really fat just heavy, but if i go 1tooth up on the rear, do i still lose topspeed or do i just help the bike go back to its normal torque and topspeed, cuz i really cant reach the redline on 5th with my weight.

Great info, Peace from PA 07zx6r
Depends on where the sensors are.
A lot of newer bikes don’t need speedo healers
Does the chain come with the masterlink?
Hola quiero preguntarte cuantas libras pie le diste de ajuste al sproket?
Any plans to calibrate the speedo? Mine is out by about the same amount (although in KPH) and would love to correct it.
Also, when you've got it above 10k RPM, come off the throttle to slow down, then just crack it open again for insane exhaust popping ;)
Hi I’ve got a rmz450 what would you do on that sprockets why’s 👍🏻
What is the name of apps do u use it to calcule speed please ?
I know this is old but just found it, can someone explain to me what the issue was with the 2017 r6 effecting startup
What size are the driven sprocket bolts ? Is it M10x1.25 ?
can you make a video om how to smoke the windscreen? I have a yamaha yzf r125 and want to do IT
MrBh4l new windscreen cost 800kr (100$) here
can you do a 0-60 with the r6?
To remove the front sprocket, does the bike have to be on gear or neutral?
Hey bro i see your comment is 1y ago so this won't help you much but hopefully together we may aid the next lad.
DO NOT CUT THE CHAIN YET
The very first thing you want to do is loosen the front sprocket before cutting the chain
Because: you can use the rear brake to hold the sprocket in place (so you won't put any stress on your clutch or gears) while in gear or not.
Can you link the driven sproket nuts you used?
What’s the app u are using for ur speed
New front and rear sprocket size?
RK chains good?
Hey, what app are you using on your 'phone? Thanks for video!
Do you live in Cedar Park, TX. On previous videos I see you around there a lot.
What would you recommend on 06 Honda Cbr600rr i do a little bit freeway
Lol I just felt like watching one of your motorcycle videos and this video was in my notification, what timing lol.
What chain lube do you use
