Need help with a quick question please...

[Guest]

Hello All. So I am in the early stages of this build.....
https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...-an-82-gs1100e..... and I am in need of some information that I haven't been able to find with my web searching. What can I say, my google-fu is weak I guess.

The question is..... did the Bandit 1200 come with a 530 chain? I am converting the 1100 over to a 530 with a 5/8 offset 530 sprocket, with the bandit swing arm, and i have a lead on a solid bandit rear wheel with rotor and sprocket, but i am not sure if it is a 530. If so, i just need to pick up a chain as well. If not, I will need to hunt down a new rear sprocket too.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

To make a 5 1/2 wheel fit you need a small 530 chain. 630 will not fit. For same wheel 5/8” offset counter is standard.
you need to offset the swingerunless you are putting on rearsets.

I'm sorry, maybe I the way I worded my post I was unclear. I am going to a 530 chain, and have already purchased the 530 front sprocket with a 5/8 offset. I will be using a bandit 1200 rear wheel in a bandit 1200 swingarm, and was curious if the bandit came stock with a 530 chain so i can use the existing bandit rear sprocket that is coming with the wheel. Unrelated to This, but to address your other sentence, I am machining custom adapter plates to use zx12r rearsets. (ALL CREDIT FOR THIS DUE TO ISLEOMAN!!!!)

Ok I saw your other thread.nice work. “Is a bandit 1200 a 530?” Would have been clearer. I would look for a manual or a parts look up. The gixxers are 530 from what I recall so I can’t imagine bandit being anything else.

Thank you very much.

For the cost of a rear sprocket I would just get the right one for your wheels and counter sprocket for desired ratio. If everything else is new start there.

Google knew the answer.

Perfect, thank you. Like I mentioned, my google skills have been less than optimal lately.
