new chain and sprockets on a baggie
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 5:42 amhi folks
the chain on my 02 baggie decided it had enough of my ham fisted wheelieing attempts over the last year and a bit and decided to snap in two after only 5000 miles this happened about 70 miles from my house in the middle of nowhere i'm glad i have breakdown cover . i must have been lucky as i was only going about 50 mph when it spapped and the chain just rolled off the bike causing no damage to me or the bike even though i have no chain guard fitted. does anyone know what size the original chain and sprockets are as the baggie i've got came with a smaller front sprocket and larger back sprocket which made 1st gear pretty much pointless and gave a top speed about 90mph . does anyone have the original chain size and sprocket sizes or recomendations of what you guys have done to your bikes when messing around with sprocket sizes etc
cheers
