I'll be taking my K2 600 on the track for the first time in a couple of weeks and I was all set on doing a gearing change with new chain and sprockets.
The plan was to go -1 on the front and +1 or 2 on the back to keep the chain length standard.
I've since been warned that a smaller front sprocket will bring the chain closer to the guide on the swingarm and could cause problems with chain tension and the guide wearing out.
Just wondered if there's an issue here or not...:hmmm:

Any input much appreciated...

Not really, at least not with a -1. A bigger issue might be a misalignment problem if you are going with a 520 series chain and sprocket setup and don't have the correct spacers.
