Front sprocket

[pitternator]

Hi guys
Finally got out on the fazer today...put  50 miles on, so had good chance to try out both the "new" K tech sussies  and the new transmission. Well I am one happy bunny , cos the suspension is back to the taut control I remembered, its handling superbly.I have left it on K techs suggested settings but probably will play about a bit to get it supple enuff for touring.Its one issue with the fazer ...no single suspension setting suits the range of riding its capable of, from trackdays to gentle touring.If its firm enuff for control at 150 , it will be too firm for 60 ?
Right , next up the new transmission....well FFs I cant hear any noise at all from thi srenthal front sprocket ! I really dont know what noise other folks have, but mine is silky smooth and noise free.The chain looks great , identical to the gold DID I bought for my last bike, so no criticism at all ( as yet ! ).

just out of curiosity what does this sprocket noise sound like ?? I,ve just put new wheel bearings in both wheels & had a chain and sprocket kit fitted (JT sprockets) after this i seem to of aquired a noise that sounds like Tyre/road noise a bit like the sound of a landrover tyre noise if you know what i mean .
Did,nt have it before these new bits ,does sprocket noise sound like this or could it be a duff bearing, i know its a difficult one to answer but it would be appreciated

OE sprocket is item 33 on attached fiche - it is made with a rubber/plastic insert that deadens the vibes.
 
Can't comment on why Pitts was different but it ain't standard.
 
Non standard is a bit noiser IMO.

PS Lot's of counterfeit "branded" C & S kits about - beware!

I rechecked my OE sprocket which came off, and tbh it does have a rubber/plastic centre. Its not red though like VNA, its dark, looks just like metal till you realise you can push yer fingernail in a bit!
I reiterate I cannot hear any transmission noise at all....I feel a  bit cheated !!
