Does anyone know what chain I need for a 19/42 gearing? I have a stock chain with 19/39 gears but also have the gears to run 19/41. My chain right now is too short. I would love to run the 19/41 gears. part # or number of the links would help greatly.
Just ordered mine yesterday to go to 19/42 and I believe the dealer said I needed to go from the 72p to the 74p chain for this gearing. I have a 05 900
Thanx!!!!
I am running 18/40 it is great. A 92p Chain is like 90.00 if you can find one with the 18/40 you can use the stock chain. The 06 is different than the 05. Mine is an 05 900.
I'm looking at the gearing charts in the 05 Deep Snow Service Manual and it shows that a 19/43 will work with a 76P chain.
I have a 76P and 20/41, I'm trying to get the 19/43 on there but it looks and feels way too tight.
The chain is super tight when I'm pushing on the top sprocket...there appears to be no slop at all...so tight that the chain tensioner wouldn't be needed. I didn't force it on,, I stopped when I saw how tight it was going to be...IMO, it should just slide on and not have to be forced.
Can someone in the know chime in on this plz
Thx
if you can slide it on then its not to tight. you don't want to have any slack any way. they don't run tensioners on some timing chains. I know they were kind of a pain to get on the edge chassis too. If it doesn't fit I'm sure we can find someone to trade for a 42
anyone use 18/41 in an 05
18/41 is not a recommended ratio.. 18/40 or 18/42 will work if you want to use an 18T top gear. 19/43 is the nearest acceptable combination.
Here's the gearing chart with combinations... you will need to ignore the chain pitches if you have an '05 900.
