[fj1200owl]

I've just replaced the 16" rear wheel for a 17" YZF 600 thundercatwith a 170*60*17 could anyone give mealittle advise on the tooth requirement for   the rear sprocket to maintain the same gearing.
Thanks Mike

You've functionally added one to the back.

If you had 17/40, go 17/39 to retain the same gearing.  One tooth though, really?  Don't bother, it's close enough.

Hi, what is involved in getting the thundercat wheel to work for you?

That's what I would say, but I used a 180 YMMV

There are other swaps that also work, depending on your level of mechanical ability and what's available for you.
