Standard FZ8n sprocket setup is 16 front 46 rear.
Has anybody tinkered with different sprockets?
Im looking to increase fuel efficiency and i understand that either adding teeth to the front or removing teeth from the rear is the way to reduce the ratio. This lowers acceleration / torque which you gain back top end.
My concern is if i add one tooth to the front and remove one from the rear how will this effect the number of links required in the chain?
I have a feeling i may have to adjust the wheelbase adjuster
Almost certain you will have to adjust the chain, may even need a longer one. As for gain at the top end, it will take you longer to get there. Double check the chain run to be sure that, with a larger front sprocket, the chain isnt dragging across something.
