Chain and sprockets for the Honda RVF750 R

Match the pitch (525) and tooth counts in the table - chain and sprockets are a matched set, and a mismatched pitch will not fit the sprockets at all.

Frequently asked

What chain size does a Honda RVF750 R use?

GarageDex's manufacturer-catalogue data shows the 1994-1998 Honda RVF750 R uses a 525 chain with 17-tooth front and 40-tooth rear sprockets from the factory. (108 links)

What is the stock gearing on a Honda RVF750 R?

17-tooth front and 40-tooth rear from the factory, part numbers front JTF1332, rear JTR312.

What changes if I go +2 teeth on the rear sprocket?

Going up 2 teeth on the rear sprocket (or down 1-2 on the front) lowers the gearing: quicker acceleration off the line, but a lower top speed, and the chain usually needs to be 1-2 links longer to keep enough wrap on the front sprocket - a shop or the sprocket's fitment chart will confirm the exact link count for that combination. This is a generic mechanical rule, not a claim about this specific model's aftermarket options.

How many links does a Honda RVF750 R chain have?

108 links at stock length and gearing, per the manufacturer catalogue.
