considering 41t or 42t sprocket...?

[shogun]

maybe cut it 114link since i got 2 more teeth than the stock sprocket.

 

[BIKE DUDE]

Stock on the Gen II is 18-43
Has any one gone 17-45 or 17-46???

 

[BIKE DUDE]

Sorry to high jack but all this seems to be Gen I

 

[StreetnTrack]

it is actually 112 pins or 56 links(side plates). sorry for all the confusion, you mite want to have 114 pins(links) instead of 112. You mite want to play with the new chain first on the larger sprocket and front sprocket and cut it to where you want it the rear wheel to sit in your swingarm.

ok u just turned my world upside down haha. i was told that LINKS are the PINS. 2 pins = 2 links. now youre saying that the LINKS are SIDEPLATES? ok, if the chain has lets say 114 links, does it have 114 pins or 114 nice gold sideplates???? yes 114 links for those two extra teeth on the sprocket instead of 112 sounds good.

112 links (pins) = 56 side plates. sorry for all the confusion.

ok, so when i get a 120 chain i am really cutting off 6 links or 3 side plates, to get it down to a 114 links chain..?

 

[GoFaster]

My two cents; I went with 16/41. A combo of both worlds, so to speak. I love it!

like i said you might want to put the chain on the bike first with the new sprocket on before you start cutting

 

[shogun]

ok, i will do that and ajust the wheel to show 3 ticks on the swingarm like stock. but am i getting the idea of cutting 6 links (pins) or 3 sideplates? that would be the same right? thanks

 

[StreetnTrack]

yes, you are on the right track.

A stock chain has 112 links...a "master link" has two pins. If you count all the side plates on you're stock chain there will be 56 side plates, with two pins or (links) each. 56 x 2 = 112 links (pins)

You need 112 links (pins) including the "master link"...

Does your bike have the stock chain with the blue link on it ???

If so just grind off the head of one of the links on the blue master link...use your press and push out that link. Then pull out the chain and place it on a work bench, put the new chain next to the old one and make the new one the same length as the old one...MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THE NEW MASTER LINK in the overall measurement.

You can only make it a even # of links 112, 114, 116 etc etc...if you cut it too short...you're screwed...if you're too long, you can always make another cut.

thanks

I created this in excel, but it won't let me attach it in that format. It is the FINAL GEAR RATIO ONLY, not the crank to rear wheel ratio. It can be used to apply a percentage for RPM and MPH estimates. See the attached file for appropriate formatting.
