15T is the biggest you can go without modification, 16T you need to remove some of the meat from the rear part of the cover where the fixing bolt gose through.

Never tryed a 17T.

Confused ! The Blandit bottom cases are pretty much the same as a GSXR - Yes?

I've fitted 532 pitch, 17T sprockets to both my Turbo'd GSXR engines without any problems - both were 3/8" / 10mm offset for chain run. Admittedly the clearances were minimal but they worked fine!

Wouldn't it be easier to change the rear sprocket?

Losing 6 or 7 teeth off the back means you get into chain run problems over the S/Arm pivot. Besides, a 17T front is kinder to a chain than a 15T. 18T would even better but that eats through everything LOL!

I have a triumph t595 swing arm I need the clearance on the swing arm. A 15t rubs the chain guide to much. I need to go as big as I can on the front as a triumph has a 18 or 19. Also I am running a 247 whp turbo engine

I forgot about the rocker arm. You're right.
Two more teeth in the front is actually six less in the rear.
As for the sprocket cover - I have a 1052 cover in 1157.
This critical bolt is not compatible with the crankcase.

Pics to help ;)

 

17t front hits the rear bolt that holds sprocket cover

17t as you can see chain just misses clutch push rod

All the sprockets above are 530

And before some dimwit start's saying 525 or 520 sprockets are smaller top sprocket is a 520 bottom one is a 530

If Gixer1460 had put a 17t or more on his bike without altering anything he has got some sort of special powers we don't know about, or he is using the 750 gear box with the clutch on the clutch cover.

Pictures don't make mistakes xD

I run 16/43 on my Turbo GSXR with 260hp on its best dyno readout. It's the happy medium for my set up, hit 200mph on the dyno as well not seen that on the road though. As Wraith says I had to remove some material from the case on the back bolt.
