Default 07 r1 16 tooth front sprocket.

I want to change my front sprocket to 16 teeth (pre-04 has 16t front sprocket). I called the local yamaha dealer and they said yamaha don't make them so i have to go aftermarket. They can order my some from vortex. Are they any good? Any recogmendation?

I mainly want the bike to be more responsive down low, nothing much. The bike seems to lag under 4k rpm.

The most popular size is -1/+2. So if your OEM gearing is 16 teeth on the front sprocket, you go with 15 teeth and if the rear sprocket is 48, you will go with a 50.
While youre at it, convert your chain pitch to 520 to reduce rotating mass.

This mod is just like changing your final drive, so a speedo healer is reccommended.
