Belt Drive

Well yes, but this opens a whole pandoras box of decisions...

They key issue is that on the Can Am the Traction/Stability/ABS is an integrated, very sensitive system that has a default setting of Limp Mode. If any parameter is outside of an expected set of pre planned values, then its all over. Limp Mode.

How does chain drive change any of the ABS parameters? The ABS has no idea how you are driving the rear wheel. And it really doesn't care.

Does anyone know if you can get the Other Countries 28/79 or 2.82:1 final ratio on the F3 here in the states?

If you are not a drag racer but enjoys Hi Speed cruising, it would be perfect.

Better mileage and with a 6 speed and the new 1330 engine can not see the down side.

Buy the rear pulley and sprocket off of a 1330 RT... :thumbup:

:agree: Thank you! :2thumbs:

Besides, the nanny will readily tolerate 'minor' discrepancies between wheel speed &/or sizes front to rear - testing for tyre sizes showed she really doesn't give a rats about any variations caused by tyre size differences of about 20mm +/- std spec, & that means she'll tolerate fairly significant speed differences.... just so long as you don't start adding in full effort cranking on the bars, or high yaw or roll cornering effects as well! :thumbup:

Thanks Bob, I would think that as long as the Nanny sees the front wheels and the rear wheel running the same speed or RPM then all things would be AOK.

The only difference would be the relationship between Wheel speed-Gear-and engine RPM.

Yes, fair point. Providing I keep diameter similar then the chain drive doesn't matter.

Speaking of which, does anyone know of an off the shelf canam chain conversion kit? Any advice on a starting point would be great.
