Also, is there any way for me to determine what size chain I have? My Clymer manual doesn't have that information.

Sprocket Replacement (front and rear)
I have a 1981 Suzuki GS550T and I'm getting ready to replace the chain and sprockets. Is there anything else I need to be prepared to change in addition to the sprockets? (any gaskets, etc.)

The OEM configuration for your bike is a 530 chain with 110 links. OEM sprockets are 15T/50T front and rear.Originally posted by Chuckster View PostI have a 1981 Suzuki GS550T and I'm getting ready to replace the chain and sprockets.

Nothing else is required to be changed.

Air tools and/or a breaker bar.
Take your time, leave the bike in gear and don't get frustrated.

Boondocks, thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. Is that a pic of your dog, the German Shepard puppy? I have one myself, although he's 6 yrs old and 125 pounds. He's a big baby but he still has folks leary about coming around my house (which I like). I don't have to worry so much about my 4 yr old daughter playing in the back yard. :-D

Keith, now you got me wondering what I'm getting into. Air tools? Breaker bar? For the front sprocket? Geez. Why does everything have to be such a PITA. Maybe the original is not so bad? 8-[Originally posted by KGB View PostAir tools and/or a breaker bar.
