Good stuff here but I would recommend checking that front sprocket for wear if you are using the same sprockets. I like changing the chain and sprockets as a set. Thanks for sharing....

Danny & J, That is a very nice piece of work indeed. I really liked the running the new chain through tip.
Hey Danny you got a great face for radio lol.
I was also under the impression that chain and sprockets should be chainged togeather. Your rear sprocket didn't look like it had hooked teeth though. Do you do your chain and sprockets at every other interval? Financially that would defo work for me.
Will the older sprockets effect the new chain ware?

Thanks again

Neil

normally I would replace both sprockets at the same time. but the sprockets on the bike are still good, I replaced the chain before the rollers started to collapse and tear up the teeth on the sprockets.

Sorry to labour the point Danny, do you run OME parts or have you been using different sprockets?

stock sprockets, the chain should've lasted longer than it did, but all the sand that got in it cut it's life short.

Thaks Danny,
