    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.

Does anyone know where a person might buy a 16 tooth front sprocket?
Does anyone know where a person could buy a 41 or 40 tooth rear sprocket?
The sprockets would need to fit an 84-86 GS 1150.

Thanks,
Fastrip
 
parts unlimited is a great source

sprocket specialists - aluminium or steel front and rear many choices from 12~16F

36~54R
 
Stock for an 1150 is 15/42. Changing to 16/40 is going to cause it to accelerate like an 8 valve 750.

Wow, thanks again to everybody.

I have a 16 tooth front on the way.I will see what it feels like and adjust from there. It's just the easiest to change (and the cheapest for now).
I have GSX-R wheels, so I will probably an need offset front sprocket once they come into play.

I never really intended on running a 16/40. I made up a chart of 14,15,16 tooth fronts and 40,41,42 tooth rears. Back from 16/42 would be a 15/40 or a 15/41.

The bike is a 1230. I am constantly going to pull another gear. Besides it just doesn't need to spin as much as it does to satisfy my needs. A few less cycles per minute and it just might last the rest of my natural riding career (15-20 years). What do you think?

Hows that gearing going? Wots it like taking off, 2 up & overtaking on the highway?
