sprockets

[pballer12]

JT ones now front and back with a did x ring chain

15/38 running 18s currently since they were my spare set usually with 20s though. ill have my 20s again next week when i buy them.

i like that setup the best with just about every combination of mods that i have tried.

14 is just too low in front with a 38

16/38 is a great cruising setup really and is enjoyable to run trails also since you can basically have an over drive with 20s.

a 39 rear would probably be pretty nice on a stock machine with a 15 front and 20s i think, thats about the only combo that i didnt try out really during my builds.

This is off subject but what is the difference/advantage to a x ring chain rather then a o rings chain??

[honda400ex2003]

the x ring has a different seal inside of it to help keep the oil inside of it better. this results in a better seal for keeping the chain oiled. this helps to keep the crud out of it and makes it last longer.

the did one has a better tensile strength than most o ring chains of comparable specs also, this isnt always a trait of an x ring though, its just a nice bene of running that one.

steve Ok thanks for the info. I'm gonna be needing a new chain soon but i'm just not sure what one to get.

DID x ring is all i run on my machines, not saying you have to but they are great for the price.

steve Oh i see but door county is nice but there is NO trails or tracks at all so that really SUCKS.

[honda400ex2003]

definitely not many tracks in wi thats for sure. we have one in central wi but it is a bike only track it seems like.

midway raceway is in sugar camp, they only have a couple races a year

i dont ride any tracks so i dont mind really.

the trail system by us is improving at least so thats nice. we have almost 2 hundred miles of trails within a half hour drive in the truck. i also have about 100 out of my door at home, 60 of it is gravel or black top though which kind of sucks. it is a decent system though even with the black top and gravel.

hurley has a good system but that is at the northern tip of wi

overall the trails over here are pretty good lol
