Thank you for the info Ray, I will follow up with my local dealer to see if I can get the front sprocket separately vs. Buying the whole kit.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / 2013 DS chain drive
« on: March 08, 2017, 02:55:32 AM »
Hello all,
Just purchased a new to me 2013 DS. I see Zero has a chain drive conversion available for the FX model. From my research the FX has a 75-5 motor while my DS has a 75-7 motor. I don't know what this means other than the -5 motor is smaller than the -7 motor in output and physical size. Would anyone know if the front pulley off a -5 motor will fit on a -7 motor or is the shaft a different size between the two? I would like to do a chain conversion for personal reasons. I'm less driven by efficiency and range, and care more about ability to change gearing when going to ride a couple sessions on the track. I'm sure I can get a rear pully made to fit but the front sprocket would be easy to source from Zero.
Thanks all. Lots of knowledge on this site.

Thanks for the welcome BrianTRice, I will look for the group rides to alices. Been there a few times in the past. I may have to truck the bike to the starting point as sonoma to alices may be a bit far for the DS. See you in the 2013+ forum section.

Hello all! just purchased a 2013 Zero DS and looking forward to all the fun rides and mods I will get to do. This is new territory to me as I am used to riding Ducati's and tearing into the engine and buying parts like new cams and light flywheels. First thing I want to do is upgrade the suspension. For now I will lurk and learn about the bike.
