My 1975 GT 550 has a 36 tooth rear sprocket. My workshop manual doasn't mention 36 teeth in it's list of sprockets. What is the correct number teeth for the front and rear sprockets?

Thanks both of you.
That's what my manual says, so I suppose 16:40 is standard, but I guess vary for different markets. I don't suppose your local dealer would have given you 16:38 if you lived in the Rockies, or 15:46 if you lived in Holland! But where has my 36 tooth sprocket come from?

I think its just personal preference. Different teeth provide quicker acceleration and top end power. Depends what you use the bike for.
