    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

As far as fitment yes, tooth count could be different though.

So I guess we should count teeth on the existing sprockets?

Yup. As far as output shaft configuration goes you can run sprockets even from late model GSXR's.

As a follow-up, in ordering the chain, what tensile strength should I be looking at?

SOme are listed at around 8000 while others are 10,000 and greater.

Also, is this an O-ring chain or something else or does it matter?

(Excuse the ignorance on my part!)
 
Get the highest tensile strength you can. Go with a sealed ring chain whether it's o-ring, x-ring, or some other ring type. Anodized side plates can add a nice touch and are easy to keep looking good. Go with a larger front sprocket than stock to give the chain an easier path around the front sprocket. Then figure out how many teeth you need on the rear to keep your ratio about where you want it.
