Gearing — Staying Stock or Making a Change
This sprocket is 17 teeth, which matches the stock front sprocket size on all main fitment bikes. Running this sprocket with a stock size rear sprocket keeps your gearing identical to OEM.
If you want to adjust your gearing, here is what tooth count changes actually do in practical terms:
Going one tooth smaller on the front (16T) shortens your gearing — the bike accelerates harder through each gear, the engine revs higher at any given speed, and top speed is reduced. The effect is roughly equivalent to adding approximately two to three teeth to the rear sprocket. This is one of the most popular gearing changes on both the S1000RR and S1000R — many riders prefer the more aggressive feel it provides on the street and especially on track.
Going one tooth larger on the front (18T) lengthens your gearing — the bike revs lower at cruising speeds and acceleration from a stop is slightly softer. Riders focused on top speed or extended highway miles occasionally run this setup.
Neither change is right or wrong — it depends entirely on how and where you ride. Stock gearing is well matched for most street use on these bikes.
