Chain case questions.

[dirtbiker77]

First off, im looking to get new Sprockets and chain for my 06 rev. Looking to get 19-45.

First question is, should i look out for any brands for these parts
second, with a 19 and 45 what chain length do i need. I'm new to swapping parts on sleds so any help is great.

last what kind of chain should i be getting. i dont know whats one it and i havent opened up my case. dont want to. there are some good sized metal flacks that stick to dipstick. kinda scared to lol

Thanks ahead of time

19-45 should be a 74 link chain,I believe. Team makes good parts. Stay away from the cheap offshore parts.

Just an option to consider as well, changing one tooth on the small gear is like changing 3 on the large. Most people change the small gear as it is cheaper. Also the chain now has a sharper angle to turn when lowering the small gear tooth count.

Jeremy you shoud try 20/47 I think you would have pretty good luck with that combo. You can run a 74 link chain with that combo but it is a little tight at first. I personally like to run two big gear instead of two smaller ones.

Thanks jason, same benifits as the 19-45 setup?

You bet the gear ratio is damn near identical and it is easier on chain with the 20 top. I find having the bigger bottom seems to prolong belt life as well. I rarely blow a belt. With my 162 I settled on 19/47, so with a 151 I bet the 20 will work pretty well.

The team industries chain and gears are pretty reasonable, thats the route I would go.
