16T counter sprocket

[McBrien]

Does any one know if FZ 07 counter sprocket will work on T7? Out put shaft is the same but I don't know if offset is different?

Yes it will. I just ordered one from Sprocket Center.

As a follow up, the 16T sprocket was a great change. Much more road friendly now with a first gear that allows the bike to gain some ground speed and move out into traffic. 5,000rpm is an indicated 70 mph. I think I'm going to try a 43T rear sprocket which will copy the MT 07 stock gearing. By the way the front and rear sprockets are the same as the MT 07. Strange as one has cast wheels and one laced but they are the same.

I just got a 16 tooth sprocket installed and am pleased.

Hi @McBrien, was there enough space to fit the 16t sprocket without any special adaptations? Did you need to remove the rubber engine guard?

Hello @Nadav . Did the 16 tooth sprocket fit with out further work? Just wondering if you needed to remove the rubber engine guard.

Hi @Landshark.
No need for any changes to this guard (there is enough space for 16t).
But:
1. The gearing can be too tall for city / off-road ride.
2. Opening the sprocket is super tough! No chance without a good compressor and an air-gun!
3. Might remove your warranty.
4. Just leave it as is and rev it slightly on the freeway - it will survive that

Hope that helps

Got one on the way. Ordered it for a long highway trip coming up this summer.

Local dealer changed mine to 16 tooth, great mod bike feels better for road use

Just an FYI, a 17 tooth will fit also with no modifications. If you use your T7 for trips this is the way to go as I average 67 mpg. Stock rear sprocket.

That’s good to know, I may consider upgrading to the 17T when the sprockets and chain need replacing!
