Bonanza Jack shaft swing arm pivot clearance from chain

[samstheman]

On my right side, Jack shaft 13 tooth Jack shaft sprocket to a stock Bonanza rear wheel sprocket my chain is sitting on the center swing arm pivot. I have the correct shocks on 10 1/2 inches to me. It looks like my jack sprocket needs to be bigger and he thoughts on this,for more chain clearance

What is the rear sprocket

 

[Skipp]

Shocks are too short

 

[Skipp]

You running pencil shocks?

 

[samstheman]

Longer shocks make it even worse. These are the stock shocks.

My rear sprocket looks to be like a 60

I’ve always used 15 tooth sprocket on the jack shaft to the rear wheel and a 13 tooth sprocket on the jack shaft going to the clutch.

 

[samstheman]

OK, I have it the other way around

 

[t555trailblazer]

Disregard my last comment^^^ It was 12 tooth to 60 tooth rear sprocket and 12t clutch to 15T sprocket on jack shaft. Probably the way you have it now.

So I took it for a run up the street. It’s kind of quick it tops out at 22 miles an hour. it’s the slowest out of my four that I have.

Yeah mines a bit dusty and got some spider webs

 

[samstheman]

But your clearance is better than mine by an 1/4 in I think. I have some need a little more.
I also need a little bit more top speed and power lol.

A bigger sprocket on your Jack shaft should give you more speed and chain clearance, but will slow your acceleration.
