MARCEL ROCKS!
Not only is this kit is a must have upgrade for your bike, but the support and advice i've got from Marcel is amazing!
You should now that this is my first motorcycle and I really love to make my hands dirty. I love my bike but the acceleration was a bit disappointing. I've read about a tooth more or less on the front or back sprocket, but i really didn't wanted to loose any top speed. It seemed to be one or the other (more acceleration more top speed). I talked to my dealer about this, but I didn't find any help there.
So I contacted Marcel. He sent me the kit and the delivery was very fast (I live in Belgium)
Then came the moment of truth: would I be able to do the upgrade myself? I succeeded with easy with some remote support from Marcel over messenger. His reaction time was very fast and I didn't loose time with the procedure if i had a question. Many thanks for that Marcel.
The day after the installation came the second moment of truth. Would this upgrade perform as advertised? In short: IT DID! The test ride with these sprockets / chain exceeded my expectations .
The acceleration in gears 1-4 is superb now. In second gear i can pull up to 50km/h - in 3th to 70 km/h without going in the red range! The bike pulls really fast now.
About the top speed, with original chain kit my top speed was 107km/h on a steep downhill. Now on a far less steep one i reached 119 on display and gps speed was 107 !!! Speed record easily broken.
Item arrived quickly, with everything needed. I was sent a 13 tooth front sprocket.
Have had it installed for a few days and can say while I have not seen the full speed increase (my daily commute to work is along a road with many declines and inclines) I can say that my commute is a bit quicker with this installed and I have seen higher average speeds overall. Also taking off from a stop feels better with the kit installed too. Have seen about a 3 to 5mph (speedo) increase in the gears 1-4.
First time installing something like this I had all the tools needed (torque wrench, impact gun, socket set and hammer) had it done within 2 hours having read the instructions the day before so it was a straight forward and logical install (mostly need instructions for the torque specs). Only thing I had help with was holding the rear brake while torquing the front sprocket nut.
Only complaint about the kit on my bike with this is that the chain adjustment needed to be set close to the maximum adjustment to remove excess slack in chain.
If I have the bike when it comes time to replace the sprockets I will be purchasing this kit again.
Bought for 2016 GT. Straight forward swap out. Bike feels better geared in all gears. No massive top end gains but worth it for the increased rideability!!
Wow such a huge difference, finally changed this myself. Not too scary. Straight swap for old kit. Didn't even need a gasket. Much sharper gear changes and acceleration. I highly recommend. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's about a 6 in mechanical knowledge. Remember to soak the plates and don't over tighten the bolts. It's a full oil change so have at least 2 litres handy
Installed on RC 2018. The crem de la crem of spark plugs. Engine smooth, power on demand has improved, acceleration unbelievable and a clean start. Worth the money, combine with the NGK caps for optimum performance.
