I am moving from tv200 gearing to gp200 . The chain looked slightly loose on the front sprocket.....then I remembered I have a 46 tooth rear sprocket. Do I get a 47 tooth or would an 81 pitch chain do?

You could always use the Push down type chain tensioner allows you to use a decent new chain rather than a used /stretched one
