I know that the stock chain length is 112 links but i want to try putting a bigger rear sproket on and im not sure how long of a chain to get. im thinking of using a 48-50 tooth sproket. will a 120 link chain be long enough? PS. does it matter what kind of chain i get? when i look online i see 520 chains, 420 and so on. i know i should get an O-ring chains but thats it.
520 O-Ring or X-Ring. With 112 links, and 15-45, my rear wheel is quite far back in the swingarm, a 120 link will be plenty long, you will most likely have to remove at least 1 pair of links.
Www.gearingcommander.com Great tool for calculating the effects of gearing changes and even gives chain length and wheel position numbers.
Nice, just used that to see the RPM difference on my new rear sprocket. 48T rear vs 45T is only ~300 RPM at 105km/h.
