Hey Sharpie, Same as that matey peeps. Just been in the shed and taken the cover off cleaned it all up in there ready for the new sprocket to go on in the morning.
That all depends on the friendly man in the big white van arriving with my new sprocket and the Loctite 620 of course tomorrow.
The Renthal sprocket I ordered is advertised as a standard sprocket Ie: 15 tooth.
The one i have just removed from the bike is 16 tooth, I know my Fazer had a chain and sprocket set fitted about 1K miles before I bought the bike (The bike was well maintained) so chain and sprockets have now done about 9 or 10K so I thought a new front sprocket was a good idea, although there is no hooking to the front sprocket as yet but I am aware the beasties are case hardened and one the case hardening is compromised the little buggers wear out quickly shagging the rest of the drive train with it.
Any ideas Sharpie will the one tooth down on the front make that much difference? I know for track days 14 tooth is often recommended for better power out of the bends, just I dont want to lose to much top end if it only make about 5 or 6 mph difference off the top I can live with that as the better aceleration will more than make up for it.
Wot-cha-fink?
Woo woo! All cleaned up and ready to party
