I made my decision on the drive sprocket setup for the YZ125 bikesaw.
I can buy a CNC billet sprocket with built in hub flange but they are heavy, I definitely will put one on the bigger CR250R but for the little YZ125 it defeats my lightening purpose.

So I just happened to find this NOS Sandvik 12T .404 .063 harvester sprocket on Ebay and also this 73mm x 30mm chunk of GR5 titanium for $20 out of Israel of all places!
Now I got the chore of finding a machinist who can make this titanium into a hub adapter for the sprocket and rope spool.

12T .404 is equal in diameter to a 13T .375
I always ran a 11T .375 on the YZ but always wanted to upgrade to a 13T for the "18 fat belly .050 bar.
Plans are to put 46RST HT cutters on a Oregon 50AL .404 .050" chassis.
Originally thought about a high tooth .375 with Stihl 33 Topic Super chassis but I think risk of snapping it would be high .
Here's the pics.
