Gearing - trying a 42T.

[Shinysideup]

I just had my local dealer order one from Brammo. They were reasonably priced and saved me from doing research.

They ARE still supporting the bike in parts: just ordered steering head bearings from them.

I found this article very informative and the chart inside the article extremely helpful when I need new sprockets.

Has anyone tried to fit a larger than stock front sprocket?
My chain hits the swing arm near the rear sprocket so increasing it may solve that. I could go up to 44 on the rear to keep the ratio.

Chain hits near the rear sprocket??

Do you have the part installed as shown in the fourth picture down on post #63 in this thread:

This spacer solved all my chain hitting swingarm issues and should be available through the dealer.

If you DO have this part and the chain is still hitting, I'd have to guess that your chain is way too loose.

Thanks for that link.
I don't have this on my bike and my dealer advised to tighten the chain but that doesn't help.
I will point him to this same link and I hope he can still order this.
