I thought of installing complete set of unicorn 15/43. But after going through this thread I am confused whether rear 43t of unicorn can fit in hunk. Plz advise . Iam in a desperate situation to change the chain set since stock has given up.

    Me too own hunk and switched to whole chain set of Unicorn 15/43. Its a direct fit and u'll have no issues at all. But unicorn chain set costs a lot higher than hunk's.

      thanks for the reply. do you face chain slackness issue. i cconstantly facing the issue, my chain rubs wit the guard regardless of adjustment. i think its either due to the wornout chain or 15T front.

            If you can get your hands on Unicorn's 15T sprocket then that will be a direct fit on FZ.

                You can visit the SVC and check it out. I am not aware about Honda SVC.

                  Hi All,

                  With reference to this post, I want to know if the vice versa also holds good.

                  As the speedo measures the KMPH from the crank and it shows incorrect speed in case of using a smaller front sprocket which is more than the actual speed, it should show less speed if we use a smaller rear sprocket than the actual speed as well.

                  Am I missing something

                    I picked up the R15 2.0 sprocket for 98/- from the service centre.

                      Normally the speedometer cable is attached to the front wheel which reads speeds.

                        That was my understanding as well...

                        Can someone confirm this?

                          People have been over gearing / under gearing bikes since ages without any errors on the speedometer. Most of the bikes have their speedometer cable attached to the front wheel. Sprocket size does not affect the speedometer readings.

                            Hi. I have a 200NS. After reading through some (reliable) sites, came to the conclusion that a 428 chain gives far less transmission loss than a 520 chain. Only thing is, have to check the specs and select the one matching the load capacity of the 520. Well, that is ok. But sprockets! I found that the front sprocket of my (previous bike) P150 is a perfect match on the 200NS. But the chain will most probably rub the swingarm because it's dia is less than the 14T 520 sprocket. I can increase the rear sprocket dia, of course, but I would like a slightly taller ratio than the stock 14/39. So can I get a bigger front sprocket, say 16 or 17T? Shaft/spline size exactly same as P150. Also, I would be very thankful if you help me out with the rear sprocket too. Fitment holes is not a problem for the rear, I can get it modified in a machine shop. I had earlier used the RX100's 36T rear on my P150 after modification. I used to cruise on 75kmph@6000rpm (I think). Thank you

                              Try iRevs, I got a 16T. Is a very tight fit, chain will rub the magneto cover. Cost 2K.

                                Is that a 520 or 428?
                                2K for the 16T alone?
