How do you calculate a chain pitch. Do you count the number of links and multiply by 2? So a chain with 36 links would be a 72 pitch chain. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
How to calculate chain pitch?

# of pins = pitch
It is determined by the distance between your upper and lower sprockets/gears and your gear size (# of teeth). Polaris, Ski Doo and Arctic Cat all have a chain pitch chart in their service manuals for the different gear ratios you can run in your chaincase for your respective sled.
Sorry, I read to far into your question. YES, 36 links would equal a 72 pitch chain. Each pin equals a pitch so count the links and multiply by 2 or count each pin.

Shane- is this for a Poo or a Cat or a Doo and what model? I believe they differ because of the center-to-center distance of the gears differs between makes and sometimes models?
look who's talking...I just got back from dinner with the old lady (wife) and here you are on line! I picture you sitting there in your special riding shorts you were wearing in those pics on the forum with a six pack of beer and the T.V. remote while you browse the forum......am I close???
