As its flat (ie no boss around the the splined hole) it'll be 7.2 as its a 525 chain
It tells you this on the MkII front sprocket for the thickness of the outer section

I've changed my rear sprocket for a 39 tooth. Gives me a liitle lower revs at 70. But the main reason was to get the speedo a little more accurate. I could sit at 70 and tomtom would say my speed was 65mph. Almost spot on now.

Righto!! Spell it out like I'm a 6 year old, I'm after a RK chain (XSO). If my model (2007) requires a 118 link chain, do I buy the 120 link chain and get 2 links taken out?? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img] or, if they say 114 and 120, is the sizes they make between these sizes??? Tttttthhhhhaaaaaannnnkkkkssssss

Hi Greg,

For Me personally i would buy a chain with a joining link and just take the 2 links out if that is what is required, Just make sure the open ends of the side clip face backwards from the direction of rotation of the chain, This prevents them being flicked off by an object hitting them. This is what i did when i replaced the chain on my DR650 prior to my Cape York trip last August.

Guys what do you think any bad if I replace 'thick' (at center mount point) 10.8mm
( http://www.jtsprockets.com/fileadmin/Code/...all/jtf1586.jpg )
sprocket from Mk2 '98 to flat one 7.2mm ? Just I've already purchased spare Renthal 15T
but never thought it can be different before checked mine, as Renthal specified to fit 96-06 years.
As result there are will be (10.8-7.2)/2 = 1.8mm shift to center, seems not a big deal?

I do not know if this affordable misalignment value, or maybe it will be more reliable
to put 1.8mm washer? When properly tightened I guess nothing happens and this
variant with washer looks better to me. Thanks
