Hi guys,
I need a new chain and sprocket kit for my bike.

Do you think this one would be suitable.

Yup, if you want standard will work perfect.

Personally i'd take the oppertunity to add a few teeth to the back Mr. Green

Downgears it.

Makes it feel a bit more lively. Went +7 on the back of my GS & loved it.

Engine revs a bit higher all through as it gets through the gears quicker. More acceleration, less speed. However, as you dont currently make enough power to acess that extra speed, it'll probbbably give you a few more MPH. When i downgeared the YBR it would happlily get itself to 70mph on the flat, now its back standard it'll struggle to see 65.

Keep in mind, you get a bigger rear sprocket, you need a longer chain. I.e if you had 110 links as standard, and you add three teeth you need a chain thats 113 links. However, if you can only find a 112, or a 114 then the chain tensioners will more than likely work fine to take up the slack Thumbs Up

It's cheap EBay crap. Try DID from Wemoto. Slightly more but much better quality. Try to avoid always going for the cheapest EBay option for parts, quality is always questionable.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

I own a hornet and I'm +3 on the back and it's much better.

DID kit cheaper than the one you posted.

Ask them if they'll do a +3 rear instead, worked for me, same price.

I've adjusted mine twice in 5k.
