    Need new sprockets/chain '81 GS750E

    Hey Guys,

    I have done some searching and have seen many threads on this topic... but am still in the dark as to whether I should stay with 630 or switch to 530? Cost doesn't matter... However choosing the correct setup does... I read that I need 15 tooth front and 41 rear with a 96 link chain... Would the chain length be different with 530?

    Thanks for the help.

    if you have searched as you say, you will see all the advantages a 530 has over a 630 C+S kit. a chain will be longer on a 530 chain as the pitch is smaller than the 630 chain.
    what is the stock gearing on your bike?

        Do you have to install a stretched swingarm to take up the extra slack?

        Actually, the chain is the same length.

        There will be more links because the pitch is smaller on the 530 chain.

            with a 15/42 530 sprocket kit you will need 110 links on the chain.
            buy it as a kit and get the sprockets to equal the gear ratio you are looking for and they will supply the chain in the correct length
