Chain and sprocket selection

[Keeper96]

Hi all, 

 

Ive got a ‘99 gsx600f but it’s a bit of a bitsa bike as it’s got the engine from an ‘88-‘97 gsxf in it. 
 

I’m looking for new sprockets and chain to get ready for the spring but the chains listed that would match the bike are different from what would match the engine. 
 

should I buy parts to match the engine or the bike? 
 

cheers

You should buy the engine sprocket that fits the engine, the rear sprocket that fits the wheel and the chain that fits both.

This kit which is a very good one and what I recommend

Will fit all these models on the gsx600f 

 

00-02 (K1), 2002 (K2), 2003 (K3), 97-98 (W), 98-99 (X), 2000 (Y)

 

I suspect the engine is the same if its fitted to your bike the difference looks to be swingarm length which would affect chain length

JTF 513.15 sprocket fits 

Suzuki

GSX600 F-W,X,Y,K1,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6 Katana

1998-2006

 

Its a cheap sprocket I have used here to cross reference the 513 is the sprocket code and the 14 or 15 at the end is the number of teeth 

 

So its the same sprocket on both bikes just a different number of teeth so yours should be a 15 not a 14 

 

On that basis I would order for the bike year not the engine
