Chain & sprocket for 749

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Ronnie Ringding, Mar 11, 2012.

  1. Mine let go and ripped the rear of the bike to bits, so need a new set.
    Anyone got any recommendations on type, manufacture, suppliers etc?
    Also, anyone tried different gearing for the road.
    I was wondering about a larger rear, from 39 to 42.
    Takes the top end off (but 155mph was more than sufficient so the officer said anyway), but might make it accelerate a bit quicker.
     
  2. Going up 3 or 4 teeth on the rear is a nice mod on the 749.

    I have a tsubaki chain, the one with the gold outer links, o ring seals etc etc Looks very heavy duty, but, guess you never really know.
     
  3. i have an Afam 520 conversion chain and sprocket set 14-42 and it made a nice difference to accelelation, makes for some interesting corner exits especially after a quick action throttle mod too.
     
  4. Ok so I bought a 14/142 525 x-ring.
    Let the fun begin.
