Pointy Naked chain and sprockets on a Faired S?
Looking at getting the sprockets and chain off a naked pointy to go on my faired pointy. Just wondering if this will work ok as I believe the number of teeth is different and the chain slightly longer.

I've just text my mate (mechanic) to check for ya but i can't see why that wouldn't work. why do you want to change the gearing down?

Re: Pointy Naked chain and sprockets on a Faired S?
With the chains & sprockets you really have a wide choice. You can easily obtain the length of chain and tooth of sprocket required for whatever application, so why choosing the naked in particular? The reference to naked is only, as BikerCraig, in relation to gearing down (quicker acceleration).
For the record, I've already done this but just chose the gearing I wanted rather than purchase something described specifically as 'naked' configuration. And yes, one tooth does make a noticeable if not dramatic difference. As I don't (try to) do motorway cruising, its suits my riding preference as I enjoy working the gears more and getting that extra zip. So yes, it works fine. There is a sprocket calculator knocking about somewhere that tells you exactly what you will get with the different gearing options. Most important is to get the right length of chain for your sprocket combo. Everything else is gravy. |

Re: Pointy Naked chain and sprockets on a Faired S?
Just looking at buying a nice gold renthal chain and sprockets off another org'er but its currently on a naked pointy. Like new apparently too so thought it would be worth a punt. Id prefer the same set up as my faired but as its a lot cheaper than new as long as it fits without any problems then I'm happy to go with it.
What kind of differences are there in between the 2 configurations? |

Re: Pointy Naked chain and sprockets on a Faired S?
IIRC the naked has a larger rear sprocket, and so the chain has 2 links extra. This is only a vague rememberance, await for someone else to confirm!

I think you're right from what I've heard also. Was just wondering if it would cause any problems or not be advisable to swap.

Obviously if its more revvy your fuel economy will go down a bit but really comes down to how you ride. Maybe a little less comfortable for urban riding (but I can't remember what it was like before anyway). However, I personally would not buy a second hand chain simply because I would want the satisfaction of knowing how this was used from new. But I stress, this is just personal choice.

Its up one on the rear on the Naked and a 2 link longer chain (110 instead of 108 )

Hadn't really thought about the affect on fuel economy, I'm assuming its only a minimal difference? |

Re: Pointy Naked chain and sprockets on a Faired S?
I stopped caring a while ago. I ride for fun so, although petrol is expensive, if fuel economy was a priority I'd go two teeth down! Good luck with it bud, should be alright.
