I do a lot of highway riding to and from work. To my knowledge the NC29 CBR400RR standard sizing is 15f / 43r with a 530 chain. What sprockets are you guys running? What kind of difference does it make? Thanks in advance

I run the standard set up.. Changing them never even crossed my mind.. I have a run down the motorway on my way to and from work everyday and she runs just fine for me..

Stock gearing is usually the best for highway riding. If you a shooting for the best MPG. Any higher gearing than stock will usually require a lot of RPM and some clutch work to pull away from a stop light. If you are looking for a little more acceleration and are not worried about losing a little gas mileage then I would say add 2 teeth to the rear sprocket.
