Hi,

Im trying to figure out a Wet Setup at Bayford Meadows, so far I've got an 87 Rear Sprocket and an 11 Front. Can anyone give advice on what size chain I should run?

what engine are you using

A relative rule of thumb is Front Sprocket + Rear Sprocket + 11 links (ish) to get you in the ballpark for the right number of links in the chain. So from your example above, you'd be looking at around an 108-110 link chain

what engine are you using

Rotax Max

112 link will get you going with 12/85-86-87 from memory. And a quick change to an 11 tooth with the same rear sprocket and chain.

Thank you mate.
