Does anyone know if a 17 tooth front fits inside cover without chain fouling ? reason being as I've gone to a 43 on the rear and bike already stands on its back wheel with standard gearing, I want to tame it a bit now I've put all the bling on.

A guy on the VTR registry has a 17 tooth front sprocket on his bike

Don't forget though that the SSSarm will make a difference if it's a different length to the standard one as it will alter the the length of the wheel base. I think it is a different length, so depending if it's shorter or longer you may or may not have that problem


See link below it's the 9th posting up from the bottom, a guy called Gregory Minor:-

cheers chris, but after chatting with Alan tonight its a no go, because I've already spaced out sprocket, and it will catch clutch slave cylinder.

A valid point Mike That had slipped my memory for a second.

Have you measured the length of both swingarms to see what the difference is If so how much

Cheers,

Chris.

No vfr arm is about 50mm longer plus 2 extra teeth on sprocket thats why you need a vfr chain 108 link.

why such a big deal anyway?

just use gentler throttle you ham fisted buffoon.

Seeing as the SSSarm is longer Mike, you'll probably find the bigger 43 tooth sprocket won't be a problem, as far as making the front end extra light
