Drive chain length?? was created by lewisj
I have replaced my Z1's swingarm with a Suzuki GS 1100 swinger and 17" rear wheel. The front sprocket is the stock 15T (630 chain) and I have 2 rear sprockets, a 33T and a 35T. Any idea as to what length chain I will need with this set-up? I know many forum members have done the swingarm switch and may have this information already. I may just need the stock Suzuki 96 link chain?
Thanks in advance.

just do a mock setup, and use a tape measure to determine length, then add 1 link.

Good luck.
