Front & rear sprocket size on a R6 swingarm

#1 Post by Danielthedman » Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:26 pm

Hi Group, Looking for some info on Front & Rear sprocket on a R6 Swingarm.
Does the Front have a Off-Set?? If so - How Much?? I will convert to a 520 also.
Any info would be great. Thank YOU ALL

Hi
I used an offset front sprocket from a R1 - Think it was a year 2000 - A decent one is approx £20-£30 so really favourable in price.
I have used this application on standard RD frames, SZR660 and also 3MA which have all needed an offset to get the chain perfectly in line.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Ade.

Need to machine one side of the sprocket. At least that is what needed done on my Honda 900RR front sprocket. Machine one side for alignment then machine other side to same thickness as stock sprocket. Mine has been like that for 6 years.

I am building a hybrid as well with an R6 swingarm and rear wheel. Just wondering what sprocket sizes for the bike using 17" wheels.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken with the R6 Swingarm - the front needs to be a 17T and the rear is 42T.
I hope someone can confirm. Thank YOU Group
