zoomered Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi, I put a new chain on my rev3 250 06 today. I replaced the front sprocket to and went from a 10t to a 11t (partly as an experiment on gearing and partly as that was what was in stock!) I had 100 links in the chain before with the 10t so went for 102 with the 11t. My Problem With the chain fully tightened i.e wheel all the way out the chain seems to long, but with the wheel all the way in it looks like if i was to take another link out it would be too short.!! Scared to try it. Anyone else had this? Tempted just to get a 10t sprocket again. Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindie Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 +1 Get a 1/2 link and it will be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I bought a 102 link chain for my evo & had to take a full link out. it looked as though it was going to be tight but ended up perfect with two clicks on the snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I always rode the beta in second. If you always rode in first I would get the half link and try it out. Otherwise go back to 10 t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomered Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks, didn't know such a thing existed! I Usually ride in 2nd, but on an open trail it feels like im screeming 3rd so I change to 4th but 4th is too long so back to 3rd and so on. Really wanted to make 3rd longer really, didn't think it would have much effect on 2nd? Am I way off here or on the rite track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomered Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh and that half link is out as I bought a Renthal, Looks like I might be going back to 10t! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
