Hi all. Pete the newbie here. just bought a zzr1100 94 model. i have a serious question and can any experts in the subject help me? the standard gearing is 17t gearbox and 45t rear wheel. i wish to alter the gearing and i need to know how many chain links if any, the rear wheel concentric adjusters will cope with from the wheel " all the way foward" like minimum chain length , to "all the way back" as in maximum chain length. will the adjusters cope with like, a full one link length or more from max to the minimum setting? thanks, Pete Wink

It's exactly the same number of links. That's why you need to adjust it....

Hi all , i don't think i made myself clear. i want to go from 17t/45t to 19t/42t. i know the standard chain is 110 links. i also have found out from an online calculator that 18t/42t uses the same chain length as the standard set up ie-110 links. but i want to with even higher gearing as in 19t/42t BUT THAT will require a longer chain at 112 links. that is why i was asking how much chain difference leeway they swinging arm adjusters cope with as regards chain length. actually 19t/41t WILL cope with the standard chain at the same 110 links however a 41 tooth rear sprocket is simply not available to fit a 1994 zzr1100D unless is custom made at around 3-4 times the price of a easily available 42t rear. my doubts are if i try a 19t/42t setup the chain will be too long for the adjusters to cope with. with all that in mind, does anyone know? thanks Laughing , pete

If you have one, just go out now and measure the distance the rear wheel moves ... You can then know the working circumference of each sprocket and the distance between the sprocket centres...

But, why do you want to do this? Slower acceleration but you want to chase higher top speeds?

Hope you got a turbo or some slippery bodywork Pete because I doubt the zzr has the power to pull 19/42 to the top of the power curve in top gear. If you take the stock top speed as 170mph, you're now trying to gear it for 203.

Have you tried fitting a 19 front? It doesn't foul anything?

Are you sure a 19 front will fit? There isn't much room there.
