Racing chain ?

[WannaBeDude]

125 2T

Are they roughly,

A lot lighter and thinner ...

Require how much more frequent adjustment.

Will fit standard renthal sprockets.

Miles is not an issue, do about 200/300 est a month.

The only difference between a standard chain and a racing chain is the colour.

Racing chains are red.

i have heard of a few people that have had the chain conversions done (chain + sprockets), but there is really very little noticable advantage to it.

are you attempting to reduce weight?

[P.]

[WannaBeDude]

Reduce weight, mainly to increase the gap between chain and tyre, or may go back to 150 tyre ..... Looking at options rather than diving in, also getting cotton reels fitted Moro, so can start doing chain tension with rear up and true.

what tyre size are you currently running on?
remembering that increasing the width at the rear will slow down initial turn in to a corner.

[WannaBeDude]

It has effects for sure ... None that bother me much, has now since jan 2ct pures 120 and 160 ......

personally i would vouch for going back to a 150 rear, and changing rear sprocket to one with a couple extra teeth for some more punch, quicker steering.

[WannaBeDude]

Nahhh .. Bike had 43 rear got 38 now as a test, need a 39 ,... And I like the pures as well ....

Why don't you do your test instead of throwing money at a 125?

Or fit a purple powerband, they're the fastest.
