If you are stock what would be the chain length?

If you are + 1 on your swing arm what would be the chain length?

If you are + 2 on your swing arm what would be the chain length?

If you are + 3 on your swing arm what would be the chain length?


Thanks

Stock swinger, stock gearing I think a 100 will do, but Id go with a 110 just for the hell of it.

As far as the others go I dont know, also keep in mind some different sprocket ratios will change chain length.

Your sprocket sizes will affect chain length, but let's first assume you have stock.

The stock 86 swinger is 96 links (99% certain), but the 88/89 swingarm is shorter by 1 inch, I think the stock chain is 92 links (80% certain).

Each link in your chain is about 1/2 inch long, so a +1 swinger will need two links longer going out, and obviously two links longer coming back, so you're looking at 4 links total. So a +2 swinger would need 8 extra links.

As for your sprocket sizes, you've got about enough adjustment to go 1 tooth up or 1 tooth down from your stock setup, but this is TOTAL teeth, front and rear. If you go +1 on the front sprocket, and -1 on the rear sprocket, your ratio is different, but your total teeth are the same, and will use the same length chain. But if you just try to go +3 on the rear, you'll need two extra links in your chain to fit.
