Re: [ST] chain and sprocket time

[Todd J <me_shucker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bil, assuming that it is the stock set up, you should be able to remove the front sproket cover and read the number of teeth on the sproket without actually pulling the sproket. It should be stamped in the sproket. At least it is on my 01. 

Sorry I cant be more helpful than that.

Thanks for the reply Dan,

I'm still having trouble nailing down the stock gearing, our chart and 
several others out there haven't been updated since the '00-'01 model 
years and I thought I'd seen somewhere that the '02-'04 had changed to 
either an 18 or possibly a 17. Hate to have to pull the old one off 
before ordering to find out!

A post a long time back indicated MotorcycleOnlineStore.com as a good 
source, and they did get me a cut to length DID 530ZVM2 for the VFR so 
will likely order from them again, once I get the sprockets nailed down.

Anyone got a good source of gear info that's up to date?
