Sprocket gearing changes FZS600

[JJ39]

Has anyone changed front/rear sprockets and if so what was the effect and was it worth it? Thanks

Cheapest modification you can make. I dropped from standard 16 down to 15 tooth on the front and it made a noticable difference to acceleration. However there are a couple of trade off's, clocks will be out, top end reduced and more noise.....well worth it though.
 
Figures quoted on Pats with an ivans kit 0-60 takes 2.63 seconds and 0-100 takes 5.57. I haven't tested the accuracy but it feels pretty close

There is a thread about this in the FZS600 section:

I went up two at the back and 1 down at the front, give it a fistfull and the front will come up.  You'll sacrifice top end but if you stay below 3 figures most of the time it wont matter.
The speedo will not be out because it's driven  from the front wheel. Not like the FZS1000 which runs off the gearing.

Cheers Guys, I'll have a play.
