Upgrade your motorcycle’s drivetrain with the Vortex Racing V3 2.0 GFRA Chain and Sprocket Kit, part number vtxCK6466. Designed for the 2016–2018 Yamaha YZF-R1S, this “Go Fast” Racing Aluminum kit combines lightweight sprockets with a high-performance x-ring chain to support efficient power transfer, dependable durability, and responsive acceleration. It is an effective replacement for OEM gearing and a practical choice for riders seeking improved performance in street or racing applications.
The kit includes a 435K-41 hardcoat aluminum rear sprocket, 3291-15 steel front sprocket, and 520RX3-114 Vortex chain. The front sprocket uses 15 teeth while the rear sprocket retains the stock 41-tooth configuration, creating a one-tooth reduction in front for “GoFast” gearing. This setup can help sharpen acceleration while maintaining a balanced overall gearing arrangement for high-performance riding.
Vortex Racing manufactures its sprockets from aerospace-grade aluminum or lightweight laser-cut steel to reduce rotational mass without compromising strength. The included chain is engineered to handle high tensile loads and features a 9,400-pound tensile strength rating, making it suitable for motorcycles with engine displacements up to 1,000cc. Together, these components provide reliable operation under demanding riding conditions and allow riders to fine-tune drivetrain performance.
The Vortex Racing V3 2.0 GFRA kit is a direct fit for 2016, 2017, and 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1S models. Verify motorcycle fitment and gearing requirements before installation, and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for chain adjustment, sprocket replacement, and final torque inspection.
