I had a 15 on my z(from 14 stock) and the chain ground out a path inside the housing for the front chain wheel and it worked fine forever. I now have a 26 rear(Awesome!) and I wanna go bigger up front again. Matt leant me a 17 front and it seems to fit all by itself, but wont even push all the way in with the chain on it. Can this work? Like if I let it grind its way in there, or is that murder on the cases? I think it is, but am not sure.

Would a 17 fit itself in there?
If not, will a 16 fit?

When the chain is on, it fits vertically(near teeth and chain), but not width ways in the cases.

I have a 16 tooth on mine, works great!

On a z50? Did it grind its way to fit, or what? Id post pics of the grooves and how it fits, but my dad has all the cameras in his truck.

Yep, 95 Z50 (like I would ride any thing else

) fit right on, no grinding or nothing!

Does anyone know if a 17 will do it ok?

I've got a 78 model z with a 17 and it's a close fit but doesnt touch anywhere.

I have a 16T sprocket and it did some rubbing to the cases, but its was most likely casued by a chain that was alittle bit sloppy.

A 17 is a tight fit, and you would have to keep up with proper chain adjustment.

Okay, if you say it will work, Ill try to run it out front my house today after school.
