Motorcycle Repair: 1966 CB160, rear sprocket, fiche section


Question
Hi Bill,
 I'm wondering if you know how many teeth originally came on the rear sprocket for a cb160.  I'm seeing a few different numbers out there.
Thanks,
Tobi

Answer
Tobi..  Yep, it can be confusing...

If you know your CB160 stuff, however, then you know that the product code for a CB160 is 217.
The CB125 version is 216, which the base product code for much of the bike.

Looking at the sprocket part numbers, two supersede to a 217 code part. That shows 38t as standard issue for a CB160.
