I need some info...

Anyone who has or has had a 1984 era VF700F Interceptor, I need the transmission ratios. Also, how many teeth are on the engine and tranny sprockets (primary sprockets not the drive ones). I'm trying into dial in what I want for rear sprockets and I have a calulator to come up with a starting point but I don't have the Interceptor manual.

 

This is what I found at Steve's Homepage.
