I am changing the rear stock sprocket it's a 46 tooth, to a 48 tooth. Do i have to change the chain, or just adjust the chain adjuster????

I think you can stay with the same chain but I'm not positive. I know for sure you can drop one up front without needing a new chain (cheaper and effective).

ok, might do that. I am putting the RED ANOD sproket nuts on,and was thinking on changing the stock silver sproket to a black 48 tooth.

but u r changing my mind..... THANKS DEF.

black would look sick. I want a black chain but don't need one yet...

I love the look of the RED chain, but the lube i use on my bike turns it white. If i can find another lube that does'nt turn the chain a different color, i would then change my chain. It looks great, but i wash my bike at least every other day. After every wash i re-lube it. Any suggestions??????

why do you wash your bike every other day??? seems excessive

**opds9091** · 11-01-2007, 04:26 PM

With all the Diamond Needles, and Love bugs and other critters, i just get carried away.

Does this give you more acceleration but less top end Defy ??
