| Post subject: | MT Chain ? |
Looking to buy a new chain for my '74 MT 250 restoration, what do I need? I think it's 106 links long? Do I need a 520 or 530? No idea what that is. Where's a good place to buy and what brand? Thanks!!! |

According to the Honda parts list the stock (520) chain is 104 links long for all years of MT250. On my buddy's MT we went with 14T front / 48T rear sprockets, which fit with the OEM chain (stock gearing was 15/44 on this bike). This made for better acceleration with less bogging in 1st gear; top speed was about the same, as it can now pull past redline in 5th. I'd go with at least 13/44, preferably even lower. Ray |

Thanks Ray. The restoration is nearing completion possibly get it out in November for a quick shake-down. |
