Quote from: "Bob Tosi"The reason I was asking this question is that Dennis Kirk //doesnthavea48fortherear,notinstock.SoIhavefounda47anda46thattheyhaveandshouldwork.Wasthinkingofgoingwiththis.The46isoffa2002Daytona955.[/quote]Checkout[url]http://www.gearingcommander.com/.  I submitted a profile for the 93-98 Tiger.  It has a fair bit of useful information about getting the correct sprocket sizes and chain length.

From personal experience, I wouldn't go lower than a 46 on the rear.

sprocket for an 02 daytona WILL NOT fit

go to sprocket specialists , you need their p/n #2693 it's an aluminum alloy and tough as nails . I have used em before you can get any size between 32 to 71 teeth , they only have steel ones that fit tiger in 43 tooth (too small unless you went with a 17 front) but I would go with an 18/48  combo

They are in Oroville , which is right next door to  Chico :D

Seriously, don't go lower than 46 on the rear else your chain will rub against the top of the swing arm - even with a slider fitted and with the correct chain tension.

One way to solve the problem :)

I will probably go with Sprocket specialist for the whole thing just because Dennis Kirk has no responded to my emails yet.  S S  has everything and they are a little more expensive but I can drive and see what I am getting and not pay shipping.
