February 16, 201214 yr Hi I have a 2008 gas gas, i have never changed the chain and sprokets but the chain is super slack and the cam things on the back wheel spindle are on max so can push back wheel any further back is there a standar chain length i can bu that will fit straight on or will i have to buy a chain tool and adjust the length myself. I plan to put new sporckets on as well, same size as before, think its a 10 tooth on the front but cant remember the back size. thanks

February 17, 201214 yr 10/42 sprockets 102 link chain,spot on for gas gas pro The 10/42 combo is by far the most popular on this side of the pond. Stock is 11/42 and in some cases, 11/41, which is a little high geared for the lower class riders and tends to get them where they want to go a little sooner than they are ready for.... I run an 11/44 ratio on my bike, which is somewhat in between and works well for me. Jon

February 22, 201214 yr Its a bit of personal preference Cheapest way is try a different front sprockets 1 tooth more & 1 less then see what you like
February 22, 201214 yr Its a bit of personal preference Cheapest way is try a different front sprockets 1 tooth more & 1 less then see what you like Yeah i think ill try it. Already got a 42 on back. So it'll be a cheap change. I tried hawks nest today rich and seemed quite hard. You'll have to show me that place near congalton:-)
February 22, 201214 yr would that be a good set up for older bikes too? I have a 2000 280txt Mike Mike, As I remember, most of us ran a one tooth smaller countershaft sprocket in the older bikes also, just like the Pro models. Jon

August 27, 201214 yr HI all, So would you go for the same 10/42 on a 200 pro? or does the requirement tend to vary between models? Also, would a sproket kit intended for a 125 fit a 200?
