15 teeth sprocket

(1/3) > >>

Voxonda:
In order to get my gearing right I am looking for a 15 teeth 530, rather 520 for that matter, sprocket for my replica (K2-K6 engine). Anyone of of a source?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Bryanj:
15 is too small honda dropped the 16 as they considered that caused problems

Voxonda:
Thanks Bryan, you're correct but not when you're riding track.

Cheers, Rob

Bryanj:
trouble is the diameter of the sprocket is too small for the chain to travel round properly, better to up the number on the rear.

Holes in crankcase are a bugger to fix

Voxonda:
Thanks again Bryan, no offence but think it was in relation to the quality of the chains of that era. 15 teeth for a 5/8" pitch is considered not too small by todays standard. Normally I use the 17/48 gearing, but on a circuit like Croix en Ternois in Northern France you will need a short setup. Maybe 15 is small but it is good to have the possibility to use it.
