Chain & Sprockets
- Designed to improve throttle response and low-to-midrange pull
- Well suited for riders who want quicker drive out of corners
- Built around a 16T front and 45T rear sprocket combination
Stock vs Quick Acceleration Gearing
Understanding the difference from stock helps put this kit into context.
- Stock GSX-R750 gearing: 17T front / 43T rear
- This kit gearing: 16T front / 45T rear
- Shorter gearing = faster acceleration, more responsive feel
- Engine reaches powerband quicker in each gear
- More aggressive overall drivetrain behavior

Description:RK 520 Quick Acceleration Chain and Sprocket Kit Gold Suzuki GSX-R750
Product Overview
The RK 520 Quick Acceleration Chain and Sprocket Kit is built for riders looking to sharpen throttle response and reduce driveline weight compared to a heavier stock-style setup. Designed around RK’s premium 520 sealed chain platform, this kit pairs race-inspired gearing with durable steel sprockets for a strong balance of acceleration, reliability, and everyday street use.
Configured specifically as a quick-acceleration package, this kit includes a 16-tooth front sprocket, 45-tooth rear sprocket, and a gold 520 XW-ring rivet-link chain. It is a solid option for riders who want a more responsive feel under acceleration without giving up the long-term durability of steel sprocket construction.
