520, 525 or 530. There are several options available depending on the bike.

Well the Power Kits come in either 15/40 or 15/42 for the RC51. I can build you a custom kit if you want. So you want 14/44 with a Red Chain.
I believe stock gearing for your bike is 16/40 correct? 14/44 will make that thing insane.

They don't make a silver procket. I believe Sprocket Specialist will make a Silver rear sprocket. You looking for Steel or Aluminum?

prefer steel, not heard good things about aluminum ones. I may play with photoshop too n see what a black one would look like on my bike.

that is correct, but im looking to move to cookeville TN at the end of this year and plan on living in the twistys, might consider a 15/42 to ensure some sort of chain life, but still debating ...

All driven racing rear sprockets are CNC machined from 7075 aluminum and hard anodized for strength. If you are looking for Steel sprockets, I have them available through Sprocket Specialists.

If you are looking for Steel sprockets, I have them available through Sprocket Specialists.I've been thinking about gearing my bike, just taking it up 2 in the rear, but i've heard bad things about the quality of aluminum sprockets.
a friend of my stripped all the teeth off his rear sprocket. I'm not concerned about the weight since my bike is run mostly on the street with the occassional track day.
Can you confirm the quality of the sprockets / chains for these?
moto-madness.com
02-19-2008, 01:55 PM
I have used these sprockets on my GSXR750 before without any issues. I have never heard of the teeth stripping off at all. The only downside is that they may wear out slightly sooner then steel sprockets but not by alot.
I have steel sprockets available from Sprocket Specialists if you would like a kit in steel. Let me know thanks

if the sprokect is maintained, the chain lubed, and aligned, they will last along time, if its neglacte then, any sprocket will wear prematurely, thats alot more important then whats it made out of, ran an AL sprocket on the rc for 6k and you can hardly tell its used at all, i just want to goto a smaller 520 and gear it lower

Yea with that much tq, your better off with a 530 or 525 kit. I have done a bunch of SV1000's and every suggests not to use the 520 kit on a V-Twin unless its a 650 or so.

im planning on using this set up for the twistys (ie the rallys or other events at the dragon) and track days and keeping my 14-42 535 (i think thats stock chain size) for commuting and touring

Yes, 14/44 may make the bike a little scary down low. My cousin just went up 2 in the rear on his SV1000 and it really woke the bike up.

02-19-2008, 02:43 PM
im 2up in the rear now, and its a big differance, but the bike is geared so tall to begin with, it should be 2 up stock imho, and anything after that would be considered gearing it lower, if that makes sense:lol: i am going to be living in twisty country so i am not really worried about topend
whatwhat
02-19-2008, 02:45 PM
one thing i am worreid about is the engine braking, no slipper clutch on a big twin needs to make your clutchin super smooth when you gear lower

with the gearing change, shouldn't you be worried about keeping the front end down??

Thats the fun part haha. I love my Buell and the way it pulls out of turns with the V-Twin. Most of the V-twins stock are geared extremely milded. Case in point is the SV1000 which was completed geared down because of the TL1000R which was crazy and to many people were hurting themselves with the tq and tank slap on the bike.

EXACTLY
:stupid:
when I was researching gearing my bike did all I could and heard A LOT of horror stories about AL sprockets... but I changed my mind when I talked to my MSF instructor... he races in Texas... he's 45+ y/o and has been running Vortex AL sprockets for several years now on his race bike... a GSXR1000... he ran the 525 kit and had never had any issues...
I ended up going with Steel Renthal Sprockets because I got a great deal with a DID EVO3 chain... but that's another story :lol:

but wouldn't being ON/OFF the throttle so much in the twisty's be harder on the sprocket and chain than commuting and touring? :dunno:
I think you'd destroy the 520 on your bike especially if your changing the gearing to +4 over stock.... but :dunno:

02-20-2008, 02:28 PM
from the rc boards and honda boards and talking to ppl race, the 520 is fine as long as you maintain it, as far as it being a beast and geared lower,i got an 51 for a reason, and its not to putt putt, if im gonna get 25 mpg, i better damn well have a smile on my face

Oh no doubt! but I was just pointing out that I think a 520 would get more stress in the twisty's than commuting and touring.
25mpg... wow... just... wow :laugh:

so what's the 1/6th throttle kit do? cut your throttle to 1/6th of it's normal movement?
damn... you should just get a GO button :laugh:

kindof.
I think it makes it so 1/6th of a full rotation on the bar will go from idle to WOT.
whatwhat
02-20-2008, 04:28 PM
the rc 51 has two rev limiters, one at around 9.5 and another around 10.5ish, when you hit the first "soft" rev it cuts out one of the cylindars, so the bike still revs, but really doesnt make any more power, you can over ride the system and get rid of it and gain some over rev and free up some top end ponies
the hrc 1/6 throttle kit is just what cutty said, on a stocker, its a full quarter turn from stop to stop, so to go wfo you need to either readjust your hand which takes time and effort or grab higher and that can be dangerous, with the 1/6 its alot easier
basically, a go button you twist
