Just put in a new renthal 525 chain on my 92 750, had to get a master
link from the bike shop as I have no tool to press on the one renthal
gave me. I also replaced the front sprocket which was slightly larger
in circumferance but 2 more teeth. I rolled down a hill with no
problem but when I put it in gear, I heard some clink and clank than
the chain was on the ground. Shit, as I'm writing this I realized I
didn't tighten the chain tensioner on the swing arm. I guess I was too
anxious to get goin, that'll learn me...

I think it pulled the tire in than got bound up, probably too loose

Ye Gods. Up two teeth on the gearbox sprocket? It won't pull the skin
off curdled coffee now.

I would imagine that if it is low geared like most, it won`t be as bad as
that. I almost always jump up one tooth on every thing but a racer for
easier revs at speed anyway. haven`t had one be too over geared yet.
Usually gives some milage improvement also. KB
