Best source for sprockets for 6th generation

Every catalog I look through, or website I search only lists OEM gearing for sprocket/chain sets for VFRs.

I know we don't have the numbers of owners like the CBR crowd, but I didn't think it would be that hard to find.

So, where is the best place to find alternative gears?
I want the quicker acceleration for the added torque curve shift while riding 2 up mainly.
My riding is about 60% around town and 40% highway blasts.

So feedback on -1/+2, -1/OEM, OEM/-2 for my purposes is gladly accepted too.

Thanks.

Sprockets

Motorcycle Superstore - Motorcycle Accessories and Motorcycle Gear has front and rear sprockets for the bike. Just going down from 16 to 15 in front will give you a kick. If you want more, start going up in the rear to 44 or 45. I like it because it gives the bike more acceleration in 6th and puts mine at an RPM range with less tingles. Hope this helps.

 

Ive posted this link elsewhere but it seemed appropriate so I thought It may be of interest .

Any Honda dealer can get you a sprocket kit from any number of manufacturers. I like saving money as much as the guy but sometimes the $10 you're going to save really isn't that important. I got my sprocket kit at the local dealer I frequent for $175 & that was a simple as asking for a military discount.

For the gearing, I see on this site that most 6th Gen owners aren't very happy with their overall MPG. If you go -1/+2, it's going to kill your MPG. If you are going to change anything, go +1 in the rear & leave it alone. The VFR is a big, heavy bike. Nothing you do is going to change that.

Thanks for the feedback.
Mileage is a consideration.

My dealer (at least the parts guy) is more than a little green.

I'll source a sprocket. for a little more bottom end pull.

Front or rear will depend on research.

Thanks again.
