Question About New Rear Sprocket.

[LunaticNik]

I just received my 44T sprocket from Tyga. I am looking to get it installed next week. Will I need a new, longer chain? Or will the stock one be fine?

Thanks in advance.

You will definitely need a longer chain.

[LunaticNik]

Any idea what length? Does it scale up in an obvious manner? If OEM is a 108 chain with a 37t sprocket, would the replacement be a 115 with a 44t sprocket?

The easiest solution is to buy a 120 link chain, which will come with a master link, and cut it to the proper length. You'll want to move the rear axle adjusters near (about 1/4") the forward adjustment limit when determining chain length, so that you end up with enough rearward axle adjustment as the chain stretches.

Thats one hell of a dinner plate you are putting on,
should be good fun and power all the way to top speed.

And yes Mike is right, most 520 chains come in 120 links so that they fit every type of bike and gearing combination.

This thread of mine has a little info-
Changing the front sprocket.

I wanted the most acceleration and completely disregarded top speed. I play in the mountains, and commute on city streets. I never touch the highway. It should be fun!

I put a bigger sprocket on my Ninja 250R and it made quite a difference, but with the gobs of torque the CBR has I think I'll keep it stock.

I got it back yesterday from the 4000k service. While it was in I had them install Pirelli DR2's and my sprocket. Best decision I've ever made. It just goes and goes and goes.
