Chain length?
 

Hi all,I've been rebuilding my 43f XT600 and now I need a new drive chain,I've already got new sprockets so I do'nt need a kit,however,before I threw it out I forgot to write down how many links were on the old chain.So could someone please tell me how many links I need for a 43f XT600 on standard gearing.
thanks Mark

A 2003 model has 106 links. It uses 15-45 gearing, perhaps that could tune you in :)

My 2002's new chain on std gearing has 106 links.

hi there my 43f yamaha manual says 104 links for standard gearing , my front sprocket is 1 tooth down on standard and i have wrote down in my service book my chain is 102 links . i will count the links tomorrow and get back to you , i carnt see any info in the clamer manual only in my yamaha parts folder which says 104 . zigzag

Thanks for the replies,I've got a clymer manual and thought the chain length would be in specifications section,WRONG!
I think the moral from this is, when you've got the information in front of you, write it down...

If you have a Kedo catalouge there is a section on the differnt size sprockets and chain length for the XT,
You could try the online catalouge KEDO - Performance Products

hi there just been in the shed to count links 102 on my 1985 43f , but like i seid i have 1 tooth down on front sprocket so i think 104 is right on standard gearing . zigzag
