problems

If you`ve had problems recently with your chain & sprockets why fit different ones? If you think that your bike will go a faster top speed with different ones honda would have done this.As you know the original set up is F17-R54 teeth with 132 linked chain.Your 120 link chain will be a bit short.Top speed is 70mph with no head wind in fine weather and you weighing 10 st.

Sprockets

If you needed new chain and sprockets, why did you not just get the correct sizes?

What do you hope to gain by raising the gearing? Lower top speed and slower acceleration - because that's what you'll get.......

If You Need to go Faster

Get a different bike!! Mucking round with the gearing on a bike that strains to put out 11bhp is pointless, causing you to waste money and ultimately will probably end up with you going Slower! Stick to what the bike was designed to have, save that bit of money and put it to getting through the test!
