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?
