Need new sprockets, should I go stock? vf500 86

So, I should buy some new sprockets.. Anyone have luck veering away from the stock gearing? I would like to gear it up for more speed in hopes of not just gaining top end speed but also improving fuel mileage.. will it actually go faster? or will it just over work the bike? Thanks in advance. Jim

 

I bought a 42 rear(one tooth down from stock) a 15 and a 16 front. i'll let you guys know what the result is when i get it rolling around.

 

I went 1 up on the front sprocket when I did my F2 wheel swap and it rubbed slightly on the Front Sprocket Cover.

I'd stick with a Stock OE Front Sprocket from Honda as it usually comes with the Rubber on it. Get a new locking clip for the bolt while you're at it.

 

and be sure to use a torque wrench on those rear sprocket bolts !!!!!!!

 

LOL! :tongue:

 

i'll just keep my eye on it, hows that? I have had enough things loosen up on me after i "fixed" them to keep me checking. Thanks though you guys
