Could anyone give me a ballpark chain length for 1000R with 530 chain? It had a chain on it but I cannibalised it many years ago to use on my Z1000 I guess I could count those and add on the bit that’s still in the drawer but an idea of what it might be would help. Should have taken notes. It’s running 16/35 as it’s got 17” rear wheel. Any ideas anyone. Rough idea will help

98 links at 630 would convert to 117 links at 530 under normal circumstances but that would be with an 18 tooth 530 front and a 49 tooth rear at 530. (standard 15 / 41 at 630)
I have an 18 tooth front and a 45 tooth rear at 530 and 114 links at 530 with an 18 inch rear wheel but with a 60 profile rear tyre which will be fairly close to a 17 inch wheel with standard size tyre profile.
Not sure how you are getting away with 35 teeth on the back sprocket even with a 17 inch wheel unless you are aiming for the outright land speed record and are being pushed up to 70 MPH before dropping the clutch on first gear.

Dunno Al as far as I know I’m running what was on it before I took it off the road and it was fine then, I’ll have to recount my teeth

After a recount back appears to be 45 I don’t know why I thought it was 35 probably best to count the links on the Z1000 and add the cut off bit
