Need new sprockets/chain '81 GS750E

[tc80211]

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?

Stock gearing 15T front and 41T rear.

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.

Call Z1 Enterprises, they will talk you through what you need for your bike.

Thanks guys. Will give Z1 a shout and get this squared away!

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
