so i busted the teeth off my rear sprocket and im thinking of buying a chain and sprocket kit. im going up 5 in the back and im currently 14 in the front and i was thinking when i buy this kit to get a 16 for the front so i can go back and forth from 14 to 16 depending on how far i have to drive seeing that my bike is my only way to get around. now here is the question i have is by doing this would i be able to keep the same chain and just adjust it. thanks for the help

 

5 up in the rear = new chain..... You do know if you go up 5 in the rear, and up 2 in the front that they'll kind of cancel each other out and put you back at near factory spec.

If you have (stock/+5) and then try to go to (-2/+5) then there's a chance that your chain is gonna have to take some links off. Unless maybe it's all the way at the front of the adjuster so you have some room to play with. (-2/+5) is equal to about +11 O_o What kind of wheelies do you do? cause if it's freeway **** then that's a lil overkill.

 

no no im going to buy a kit it comes with a new cain and front and rear sprockits and when i order it im going to git a +5 for the rear and a +1(16) for the front.i already have a -1(14) that way i can swap my fornt sprocket back and forth between the 16 and 14 for when i have to go long distance and not having to chang the chain just reajust it.do you think that will work

 

???? 2 teeth difference on the front isnt goign to make a huge differance. Its not worth the hassel to change your gearing by that little bit??? Whats are you trying to accomplish? im confused.

 

just do your 14 and 55, you will still be able to get down the highway fine......

 

Oops I thought 636's came with 16 in the front haha

 

if i chang the the front it will make it easer on me when i have to go long distance and by going from 14 t0 16 its like going up or down 6 in the back
