Chain and Sprocket Recommendations for CBR
 

My 02 F4i has 16k miles on it and its time for a new chain.

I was looking through my service manual and it said it has a 525 chain. After looking at www.sprocketcenter.com and trying to find a package deal, it seems that there are more options for a 520 chain / sprocket combo.

Now forgive my lack of chain knowledge since its been a some time that I've had to mess with chains and sprockets (chain snapped on the TL 3 years ago)

I'm looking to stick with stock setup as far as sprocket and chain are concerned.

Is something like this what I'm after? I'd like to stick with a DID chain (I just don't know about the different variations of them) and sprockets (maybe AFAM, I know to stay away from Vortex), this package shows a front steel AFAM, and a rear steel from DriveSystems. I'm not familar with DriveSystems so that is whats throwing me for a loop.

Bike is just rode purely on the street.


Thanks for the help.

Nothing wrong with that setup at all. DiD, IMO, is the best chains out. The steel sprockets will be great for longevity.

IMO, Tsubaki makes a great chain. Go with an X-ring and you'll rarely have adjust it.

I have a DID chain and Vortex Aluminum sprocket that I take horrible care of on my CBR600 F3. I've put probably 20K+ on it and it's still doing great.

I bought a DID 525 chain and OEM sprockets for my F4i from SoloMotoParts.com for under 150 bucks last summer

I'm running a Regina chain with JK steel sprockets. Very pleased with both. Next time it will either be a Regina chain or a DID chain and renthal sprockets.
