530 chain conversion

12 Nov 2015 11:06

I'm about to order 530 sprockets and a chain for my 82 kz750ltd. If my math is correct, a 16 front sprocket and a 38 rear sprocket should put me close to stock gearing (based on stock 13/32 630 sprockets). The stock 630 chain is 84 links, so that puts me at 102 links for a 530, correct?

Sounds right.

If I plan on going to an 18" rear wheel, should I go with a 40 tooth rear sprocket?
