I've heard that changing the sprocket with 1 which has lesser no. of teeth is not good, although one may change to a sprocket which has a higher no. of teeth. Is this true?? I mean is there any advantages of increasing the no. of teeth of a sprocket as compared to reducing them?
Based on the quoted info below, Unicorn front sprocket is straight fit to FZ. You can try the same for R15 if FZ and R15 front are the same. Max of 100rs.
