I have a 18" rear mag wheel from an XS400 on my XS650 and i'm going to order a new chain and sprockets.if i order a chain and sprockets for a XS650 will the rear sprocket fit the rear wheel ?.also the gearing on the bike at the moment is 18/33 i think may be 17/33 and whilst in 5th gear i can do 50mph with a little throttle,i'm looking to sit around 70mph before having to really rev the motor.what sort of gearing should i use to acheive this.

Thanks for the info.Any idea if a XS650 rear sprocket will fit a XS400 mag wheel?.

The 650 sprocket has a 6 stud pattern. You have the 400 mag so maybe you can tell us if it has a six studs or 4 studs.........I thought the 400 mag was a 4 stud?
