std sprockets are 17/47 and 532 chain at 110 links

myself and many others have swapped to 530 as its more common (R1 etc) so therefore cheaper in price...and well up to the task too

Sprockets are a matter of choice. Personally I've gone for 16/47 which loses a very small amount of top end but gives better drive low down

If you're budget stretches to it, go for a gold X link chain. Theres loads on ebay at reasonable money for reputable makes.... DID, Tsubaki etc

i just got myself this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140652021209? ... 1497.l2649

seemed the best quality/price balance
note this kit is for a yzf750 but would expect a fzr1000 kit to be the same (ish) price
