actually, I DON'T know that. I DO know the pre 600 is 14/45 or 46 112 link chain. I THOUGHT the pre 750 was 14/47 with a 116 link chain. It could be 15/47 118 link which would make it identicle to a 98+ 600

Well, then I will confirm the pre 750s are mostly 15/47 with 118 link chains. Mine is (purchased off showroom, and I have never changed it before now... 93 750 cal. model) Someone has mentioned a couple of times there are a few pre 750 models that came with 15/45 setups... but I have not seen anything specific to year.

no they did not, pre 750 were never 45 tooth rear

That depends on who you talk to , bud . There was a thread a while ago arguing that same thing . The conclusion was that some DID , in fact , come with a 45r .

Cross referenced a couple of different sites to verify this best possible, but ... I learned a long time ago, some times the factory will do some odd things.

Jeez, I went -1/+3.....that helped the acceleration alot. Why would you want to go so big out back?? Unless ur gonna try to make it a stunt bike...

I know katana not goin to be a good stunt bike but this is just mostly for fun

i don't even know if anyone makes that big of a sprocket to fit a kat

ha i didnt know either until saw this site
sprocketspecialists.com

don't lower your front sprocket. That will increase chain/sprocket wear super fast. Just make the rear larger.

alright, i kept the front stock aiW

There are companies that'll make as big a sprocket as you want . Often it'll cost you more , though .....
But yeah , have fun stunting that thing , but don't expect a TON of support HERE with that . That's looked on as abuse to these poor old bikes , and well , abuse is BAD .

yes I am serious ha
ya I didn't think I would get any response actually lol

thanks for the replys
I picked up a 58 rear and keepin the front 15
just need to figure out what size chain i neeed hrmmmm

[arsenic]

true MD, for instance, some moron will tell me a pre 750 is 45 tooth. Suzuki motor corporation will not.

That depends on who you talk to , bud . There was a thread a while ago arguing that same thing . The conclusion was that some DID , in fact , come with a 45r .

6 links more
I used a Bandit 600, but that should not be of any importance (I guess )

[Action!Jackson]

6 links more? Stock is 118 I believe?
So 124? did i do that right ? lol
do you know a good place to get a chain like that?

[JimG4652]

You won't hear me give you any grief about it. I race my Kat pretty regularly...and that's generally not approved of, either.

[arsenic]

you'll need a 130 link and make it 124. No one sells a 124 link chain.

[scottynoface]

The biggest I could find on ebay when I did my sprocket conversion was a 122.

[Anoucka]

Overhere you can buy a chain in any length you want

[Action!Jackson]

o really^ ha..
Well I just bought a 130 chain.. should fit once I learn how to cut/rivet.. probably be good to know how to do anyways.

[philwecksr]

I was wanting to know how that affected the highway performance?? I would like to get a little more on the low end. I have a stock 96 750 Kat. It really does not come to life till around 5500r's

FYI when you are done here you are looking at a top speed (indicated) of 92 mph (thats down almost 45mph). That's redline in 6th gear. You're cruising rpms will probably be near 7700 rpm (thats assuming you did cruise at 6000, which is where mine sits I believe, or an increase of 1700 rpms at cruise).

I'm really concerned from your voice in this thread thus far that you are going too far and will end up with a nearly unusable power band. a 28% increase if your gear ratio is MASSIVE. Not saying you don't know what you're doing, but I'm not clear you do either...

Let us know how it works out and good luck. Be really really gentle with that right wrist when you first get out on it.

woooo fat slow heavy stunt bike
