johnnyboxer Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 10/43 from stock 10/41 makes it far better for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillary Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 He means he has changed from a 10/41 to a 10/43, which lowers the gearing and is certainly my preferred choice - as you well know Perce!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapid roy Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 He means he has changed from a 10/41 to a 10/43, which lowers the gearing and is certainly my preferred choice - as you well know Perce!! 10/42 IS A BETTER OPTION IMHO 1 IT SLOWS THE BIKE DOWN 2 YOU CAN KEEP THE ORIGINAL CHAIN (43 NEEDS A HALF LINK) 3 WHEN I PUT A 43TOOTH I WAS USING 2ND FOR 80% OF SECTIONS HOPE THIS HELPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsurfer Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Have tried 42, 43 and 44, the 42 as above seems the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 He means he has changed from a 10/41 to a 10/43, which lowers the gearing and is certainly my preferred choice - as you well know Perce!! You can read it both ways & since mine had a 43 on it when it came........... I use 10-42 but then I had a few spare ones knocking about when I got the 4rt. The only way to properly slow a 4rt down is to fit a throttle body & use a softer than standard map, swapping sprockets is just a workaround method. Fitting a big clutch master cylinder is also a must. Although my 07 spys tell me that the standard map is softer & the clutch is better too.

cota kid Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 So a 102 link chain will suit 10 / 42? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) So a 102 link chain will suit 10 / 42? Just buy a Renthal R1 & there's plenty of links in there, I've certainly never bought any extra bits or fitted a 1/2 link thingy. I use standard cams as the standard axle doesn't suit any of the bling stuff, it's not long enough. The normal cams do the job just fine anyway so why waste brass?

monty-python Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 10/ 44 for me, but i generally ride sections really slow, so i've been told. PTB is probably the best bet, but not cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rt guru Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 10/44 is good i agree ,you dont need a half link either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
