Will an 18T Front Sprocket Actually Fit?

Does an 18T with 530 chain fit onto a 750 twin and clear the front shield or does it drag? Would the 18T cause any chain clearance problems coming out of the engine case?
Just wondering if anybody else used an 18T front.

I have a 17 tooth front sprocket on mine, and I don't believe an 18 will work without removing the shield. It was so close with my 17 tooth that I went ahead and removed it.

:ohmy:Z1 lists the 18 tooth sprocket for the 750 twin, it's not with the rest of the front sprockets though, it's listed after the rear sprockets.

Thanks for the news, I guess I will have to bite the bullet and get one of the custom rear sprockets again to keep the drive ratio around 2.1 like it is now.
One question: if you remove th shield, does the flying chain lube make a horrific mess in there?

how much room have you got with the 16 tooth.
Apparently....... not nearly enough.:laugh:
Didn't look like it would fit to me, that's why I asked.

Is there a brand name?I don't use regular motorcycle chain lube, I use an industrial penetrating wire rope and gear lube in a spray can.
