Rear chain

(1/1)

Waggles:
Was fitting a chain oiler to my F1 at the weekend and something occurred to me, the F2 had a bigger rear chain. Is it possible to fit this to an F1 or earlier? I know the F2 is geared down a bit, is this internal or by the rear chain sprockets? ( if anything I would gear up my F1 not down ) bearing in mind the bigger chain is bound to be more expensive is it even worth doing if you are not drag racing? ( wondered if the bigger chain would last longer or is it just stronger but would wear at the same rate )

Just idly wondering, my guess is its not worth it and would wear at same rate, anyone done it though?

Bryanj:
Yes if you want to strip the engine and replace the output shaft and related partd otherwise try and see if there is a 630 conversion kit

Waggles:
Strip the motor for a rear chain? AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!  :o

don't think I will bother  :)

Bryanj:
'Cos the sprocket retention and with is different!!

Waggles:
Of course it would be! what a silly billy I am. Come to think of it, it might even foul my nicely re chromed chainguard too .......

thats the trouble with idle musings, they can get you into trouble!
