Default Rear sprockets info please

I have a 13t on the front and was thinking about what is the largest rear sprocket I can use with the stock chain? Also, where is the best place to get a rear steel sprocket as far as price and quality?
Thanks,
db

I was looking for JT Sprocketslast night. I didn't find any online sight that listed the sprockets JT Sprockets said fit our rides.

With the factory chain, I think the only thing you can do is go to a 13 tooth front sprocket. Everything else requires new chain. With sprockets and chain costing ~$150, I'm thinking I would just take the plunge, cry once, and go with a big bore option (331/340cc) with my stock sprockets and chain.

Hmmm, I thought we could do more than that. Oh well, I can wait till its chain and sprocket time...So what is the best of both worlds on chain length and two sets of wheels?

Well I'll give you my opinion....but this may turn into an exhaust thread..lol

Keep the 13 & 14 front and use a 45 or 46 tooth rear ...... you can use a 108 link chain for all of the possiblecombos with that setup. That gives you lots of options with just one chain.

Biggest rear you can use and keep the lower chain guard is a 49 tooth....you'll need a 110 chain for that.

Thanks Finger Mullet! I was looking for a 13/45 sprocket set thinking that would give me some good options but, the added expense of the chain sort of turned me off. Our stock chains are 102 links aren't they?

The stock chain is a 106 link ..... did ya vote for k2w for botm in the other thread ....... I talked a lot of bs to the slab ***** in off topic....give him a vote. lol

Also adding a 15 tooth front to the above arsenal would give ya highway gearsif ya have a big bore.
