07 CBR 600RR or newer-Gearing for TMP, Grand Bend, and Shannonville

Hello everyone,
I was curious to know what size sprocket (i.e., front and back) and gearing people are you using for TMP and Grand Bend, specifically for anyone on a 07 CBR600RR or newer. I have been told that some people use the same set up for Shannonville, as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

depends on many factors, including how fast you are. As I progressed I had to adjust my gearing. I think I was -1 +5 on my 636 at tmp

With some of the research I have done it seems the 520 sprocket conversion is the most common for 600's. It seems only stunters and people on 1000's get into the 525 and 530 sprockets.

Would you suggest getting the 520 sprocket conversion and staying with stock gearing for a beginner?
I'm sure my speed will need lots of improvement!
Thanks

Why don't you leave it at stock for your first visit. If you run out of 6th gear, then consider changing your gearing. If you don't, work on your speed before spending any money. Your drive coming out of the last turn will mostly determine how high in the gearbox you'll finish with on the straight. So, for a beginner, I recommend not spending any additional money.

Speed in straights takes money, speed in corners takes skill.

You do realize that a 520 conversion can be the same gear ratio as stock?
All a 520 conversion is a slightly thinner (lighter) chain and sprockets.
It will shave milliseconds off your lap times.

Thank you everyone for your help. It is appreciated.

I agree that as a beginner just leave it alone for now. You have a lot more to worry about than trying to eke out 500 more rpm before braking.

520 chains can be quite a bit lighter, and do help acceleration but the biggest advantage is sprocket choices. With 520 you'll have a much easier time finding sprockets in various sizes and metals, ie aluminum rears which save a lot of weight.
