Any of you folks running 42 or 43 tooth rear sprockets had/having clearance problems, such as rubbing the chain guide? My new 43 tooth came today - waiting for the new front to arrive so I can change both at the same time.

 

Same gearing could be achieved via a 15 tooth CS sproket, much cheaper & no clearance issues!

 

I am in the process of installing a 43 tooth rear spocket. I had a PRM swing arm skid plate. The new sprocket would not have fit with the old skid. I am having a custom designed skid plate made for me now.

That what you mean by rubbing the chain guide right ???

 

i have the 43 rear and with the stock chain guard it rubbed but with a little riding it worked out fine.

 

i have the 42 rear and 15 front and it works great!!!

 

Thanks guys. I'm waiting for the new front sprockets to get here - ordered both 14 & 15 tooth, just haven't decided which to try first. Around here, 'I' would never use the top end a stock geared DS has - so I'm gearing down to see how many shifts I can make in 300' or less distance [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have been searching online at various sprocket companies but can't find where to buy a 42t rear for my DS.
Where are you guys getting them?

I already run a 15 tooth front with 22's..........Just want a little more low end for duning.

Thanks,

 

try this , have fun and play

I don't have money to burn, so I just found and ordered a 42t rear from Albaaction.

I'm a big fat guy and need to get this 820lbs of quad and man moving a little quicker in the sand and trails. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
