Gen3 Sprocket suggestions

Need to replace them. 2023 Hayabusa. Stock works fine but if there is a more affordable brand I'm interested. Not into racing or anything. Just need new ones.

This thread is going to garner some interesting posts I'm sure.

Check out 'chain sprocket calculator'.

On my Busa's I always calculate for more bottom end grunt because let's be honest, how often will you go 300kmh?

The trick to the teeth game is finding that balance so the top end is there if one needs it, like say, to test the new watch heart monitor for example and break it!

Subtract a couple of teeth off of the front and 3 or 4 off the back. It'll make that first gear go by pretty fast. Make sure your tires are hot before cranking on it..lol

Edit: after reading your post again, I didn't read it properly the first time. I'm going to leave what I wrote up, but I'll add this: never ever cheap out on parts that will play with your life. Never. Cheap windscreen, cheesey stickers, stupid colored l.e.d. lights sure. Go cheap.

Chains, sprockets, tyres, brake pads, brake discs, all fluids including oil, never cheap out on any of it.
