Well, I found one company that makes them in red

I just got a question, is there anyone running a 54 rear sprocket? My bike came with a 54 and I'd like to go to a 47 or a 48, What would you guys recommend? Which one is better for wheelies?

Renthal has red rear sprockets as well, and I think they look much nicer than the Vortex ones.

What gearing to use is completely up to you, but I see a lot of people go for 13/47 or 13/48.

The bigger you go in the back - the more wheelie prone your bike will be.

54 is HUGE

Your speedo is WAY off with that size sprocket, and you probably can't pull more than 70-75 mph top speed with that either.

Unless your front sprocket is 14t .....

Wow........ 54 eeek

I only see silver, black and blue in the size options!

They're probably only sold out at the moment. Try another online store, or have your local Yamaha dealer get one for you.

Just out of curiosity; how many teeth does your front sprocket have?

just a little introduction to my bike, not sure about front sprocket size but I am guessing it's stock.
