Hi guys

Want more acceleration so I am rite in thinking it's 1 down on front sprocket and 2 up on rear sprocket any suggestions on which sprocket's to get? It's a 2016 yamaha r6... And suggestions on a light wait chain and wot type?

Yes you're right, -1+2 is the rule of thumb.


I've got renthal on my track bike which seem fine.


For chains, the only way to take off any sort of meaningful mass is to get a small gauge i.e. stick a 625 on if it currently has a 630 etc. Obviously, you have to check the chain can take the power of the bike and you have to get matching sprockets.

I'd try changing just the front cog first. You'd be surprised how much difference just dropping one tooth at the front makes.


Can't help with the chain but my personal instinct is that you won't get much benefit that outweighs the downside of a weaker chain.
