Will mount a rim with a 180 rear tire on my Z1000 A2. For that will I need an offset sprocket, can any one tell me how much offset I need. Plan to buy it from Webike, as I will order an exhaust from them.
Or do I have to measure my self?
Will use a Zephyr 750 swingarm with ZX6R -01 rim.

Piggy, for a 180 tyre I would say that a 5/8" offset sprocket is required.
Have you been at the sherry again

Would of thought a 5/8 offset and also 530 pitch chain would be required for clearance?
What wheel are you using Fred - modern running gear or having a Z respoked?
Modern bikes usually run 530 or 525 pitch so you'll probably need new chain / sprockets.

Hope this is making sense and of some help.
Consider gearing ratios if ordering sprockets (530) 18 / 40 on mine but that could change.

Yes as GB says - it's a 5/8" off-set

Will use a wheel from a ZX6R. Its fitted with a 525 sprocket (

The cheapest solution would be to find a suitable 630 rear sprocket for the zx6r wheel (like this:

As I have 630 chains in decent condition.
But the weight loss would be sweet. However that would require a everything new; chain, offset sprocket and rear sprocket, all 530. Which means money.

My Z1000A2 runs a
180 rear tyre, with a
5/8" off set sprox and a
630 chain, and has done for the last +7 years, no probs
