FZS 600 Rear Sprocket - JoeRock - 12-07-13
Is it the same as any other bikes? I want a red supersprox sprocket for it, which I'm going to have to order directly from the manufacturer, but they don't list a red one for the FZS - hoping to find another bike which shares the same sprocket so I can order one that does come in red, and will fit!

Be easier to get a normal steel sprocket and paint it or if you want it perfect get it powder coated

Just looked on the JT Sprockets site, there are a number of other bikes whose rear will fit the FZS600, but only the FZS is 48 teeth (std). So unless you want to go down on the number of teeth, it doesn't look like anything else will be the same. JT FZS std part no. JTR859.
Have you tried Renthal for a listing?

I recently swapped my rear wheel with my thundercat one (obviously same wheels but basically I needed to replace my fazer worn tyre)
Anywho, its a 47 tooth sprocket that was on the T'cat that is now on the fazer, and tbh there's very very little noticeable difference-
Just letting you know in case there's a 47 tooth red sprocket available for you to buy!

Has anyone played about with different number of teeth for the rear sprocket? I very rarely use the upper speeds of the bike and therefore would be happy losing a few mph off the top to get a bit more acceleration. would getting a couple of teeth extra on the rear make a noticeable or useful difference?

Front sprocket is standard.

May be useful to you for comparison.
Re: FZS 600 Rear Sprocket - Chris - 09-08-13
Thanks Garyb,
Wow, I get about 220 miles out of a tank on what I assume is standard gearing, not actually counted them... Is the lower fuel economy really effected that much by having one extra tooth on the rear??!! Obviously revs will be slightly higher while maintaining a certain speed each time you add a tooth to the rear but I wouldn't expect it to make such a huge difference although mpg and range per tank can be different because of so many reasons.
Maybe when it comes to changing my rear sprocket I'll get one with a couple more. is it 3 teeth added to the back has the same effect as dropping one tooth on the front? Obviously easier to change the rear one for more teeth anyway though.
I was looking at a few on line last night and found a few that were 49 or 52 teeth, I don't want to go nuts with it though and have a sprocket as big as my back wheel! haha. Anyone tried a 52 teeth one?

Don't forget you've got a 2 litre bigger tank, but even still 140/150 miles for a 20 litre tank doesn't sound good.
Re: FZS 600 Rear Sprocket - darrsi - 09-08-13
Actually garyb, that's 34mpg, that ain't normal at all?
Unless you weigh about 30 stone?

30 stone - god forbid :eek
No I am 16 stone
Just looking at my last few fill up receipts here and I am tending to put in around 12 to 13 litres each time so that part of my earlier post was misleading as I am not actually letting her run down to empty each time.
Re: FZS 600 Rear Sprocket - darrsi - 09-08-13
Aahh, you're a lightweight like me then
Re: FZS 600 Rear Sprocket - Chris - 09-08-13
That makes more sense Garyb 8)
You ever played about with different gearing Darrsi?
Just found this thread with lots of info on the subject of ratios and their effects on the bike. 8)
