Having had a "bit" of experience with this lately...

Just in case...standard spec is 102 link, 530 pitch chain, 41t rear and 16t front sprockets.

Chain wise, DID. The VX series are ok (I have the gold one), but some people like the heavier ZVM. Sprockets....DID kits do not contain DID sprockets, just some random ones from a few manufacturers, Powerite and JT being the main ones I think, in steel. I now have Renthal fitted, standard ratio. Prefer these over cast steel items just for looks if nothing else. They cost £27 and £17 ex VAT from B&C Express. Cant fault the service from those guys.

Oh, someone said Talon sprockets were good too, they are alloy centre with steel tooth ring.

Just dont buy from DK Motorcycles, even though they are the cheapest for DID I think, they are slow delivering stuff and kept mucking me about.

Sorry Marty, cant help with your question as I havent changed the ratio from standard.

Aye, but I.find that if you don't fit an original Honda front sprocket these others chatter like He'll.But an original is £40 plus.
