13 Tooth sprocket questions

[Extreem]

Okay,

I listened to you guys and just installed a 13 tooth front sprocket (I do a lot of tight trail riding)....So anyways, the dealer tells me to run the chain a little tighter (3/4 inch slack) instead of the normal 1 to 1 1/4. He says this will reduce the chances of chucking the chain into the case.

Anyone here agree or disagree ? What are you guys with 13 T sprockets running for chain tension ?

Thanks

i run the noraml specs the sporcket size shouldnt make a difference, i ahve never had a problem.

run stock specs.
if you run to tight it will stretch sooner

no other reasons

I agree with the spindles and HN400.

Your dealer just wants to make a big deal out of a simple mod (or sound like he knows what he is talking about):eek2:

seems like a lot of dealers dont know what they are talking about. im glad i konw most dealers around here and when i go there (usually never) they know to just get what i ask for.

you dont even need to take the chain off just loosen the bolt then the sprocket will fall right off.
then just bolt the new one on

Thanks for the info...I'm glad I can talk to people that have a clue.
