Rear Sprocket on Templar X

NH Shorty · 06-03-2024, 08:49 AM

Hello! I am new here and purchased a Templar X in April. Have really enjoyed it so far and made a few mods, with the help of this site.

So far I have re-jetted the carb and installed bark busters.

I am in the process of swapping out the tires for some 50/50 Kenda K270's. While changing out the rear tire I want to swap the rear sprocket to bring down the RPM's some while tooling around on the black top.

I purchases both a 45 and 42 tooth JT rear sprocket. My question is, will I need to get a shorter chain or remove a link if I go to the 42 tooth? I ask as the rear tensioner is already about 3/4 toward the rear, so wondering if I will run out of room to adjust & properly tension the chain.
