Front OEM Sprocket anyone?

I just got an '02 R6 with 15T front sprocket (I think anyways, guy told me he changed the front sprocket out for quickness) and while the acceleration is awesome, I am a new rider and I think the stock acceleration would be just fine. Does anyone have a front sprocket that would fit an '02 laying around that they'd like to sell me (or trade for the 15T? :mrgreen: ) Thanks.

Also I've heard a lower tooth front sprocket makes 1st gear retarded, is that true?

Smaller front sprocket means you will lose top speed but gain grunt out of the corners/quicker acceleration.

Standard for R6 is 16T so you have 1 less. This will give a reduction in top speed of around 6 mph (assuming the rear sprocket is original size).

Each tooth OFF the front roughly equates to ADDING 3 to the back.

Not sure what you mean about retarded 1st gear though.
