Zx6r sproket change?

[fiedler55]

I have a 2011 zx6r and am currently running OEM gearing 16/43, I'm considering changing it to 15/45. I do understand my top end speed will drop but im looking for a quicker response in lower end power out of corners. Has anyone done this on a zx6r? Also do you prefer this over stock ratios for a 600?

Not sure of your pace but start with15/43. A 45 on the rear is a bit much.

That's the tool right there.

I went down 1 front up 2 rear on my ancient R6 to 15/50 from 16/48 and it was a big change that requires good throttle control skills.
