i was thinking about changing the top gear on my viper fro a 21 to a 23t. i know that there are people on here that have probably done it so i am just wondering if i need to buy a new chain. a new chain is over $200 and the gear is $100 so i am not sure if it is worth it just to see what it does. i had an F7 spank me the other day and we cant have this happening. thanks for your help

Just got a new 20t gear and 68l chain at the YAMAHA dealer for somewhere @ 50 bucks. I'm almost certain it wasn't over 55. This would be for a 13w N/H.

I got a 20t viper gear for 50 bucks at Yamaha plaza. Hows it cost you 100 bucks for a 23t gear?
I am running a 23T top gear with a 38T bottom gear and I am still using the 68L chain. When re-assembling you need to put the chain around the gears first then slide the gears on the shaft. I have only put on 100 milessince doing this, but so far so good.

i have done it before also and had no problems, kinda tight though, i wondered when i did it if i would still be able to get it into reverse but havent had a problem.
