Can I get away with running 21/48 gears with a 90 link chain, or will it be too long?
Thanks

After review, it does look wrong... too much adjuster angle. I put the stock gears back in. 21/49

No xtx gearing is 21-41 86 link chain all through Yamaha very cheap. Canada pricing was under 150 I believe

Some rtx le with the 1.7 sno x track had 21 49 gears, not good for top end, but 0-70 was in a couple heart beats

I managed to pull 98 MPH with the 21/49 gears and it gets there very quickly. I'm kinda ok with that... because I'm out of money.

My sled had the rev limiter adjusted from Yamaha's race team. It was a X-country race sled initially. When it was being raced, it had no reverse and 22/48 gears. I was told it did 105 MPH pretty reliably... I have made some minor changes to the clutch set-up to make it a little more trail friendly and put the reverse back in which necessitated using the stock gears again (can't afford new ones right now)
This is a shot of it below winning the 2015 WOODY'S I-500 CLASS - FACTORY STOCK 600, riden by Cale Anseeuw #931. https://usxcracing.com/index.php/results/standings/2015-year-end-class-champs
Another action shot of him below... If I ever look half as cool as him riding it... I'll be pretty happy!
