| My ST4S has over 12k on it now, and is on the original chain. It still looks fine to me. I also normally ride with a pillion, and am not shy on the throttle/brakes. I do have a scottoiler though (since about 3k old) with a dual tip feed (viper ?). I recall someone mentioning in a post of a 'chain guide rail' that bolts in front of the front sprocket, and stops the chain smashing casings if it breaks. I think this might have been in the 996 forum (possibly age996's thread). If I can find the post I'll try to post a link to it here. Has to be a good idea if it saves a lot of trouble for a small outlay. [update] sorry lads, just seen this was discussed in the other thread. Doh ! \I'll head off back to me corner and keep quiet...

| I ordered one of these chain guides a few weeks back, and went to pick it up on Saturday. P&H told me the part was now discontinued  Anyone got one they want to part with, or know a dealer with them in stock ? I've tried Nelly already. If I can't get one I might go get some made... Cheers all, John. |

Ive tried getting one of those chain guards but to no avail. Was thinking of getting some made too, No doubt plenty of people on here would be interested. |

| Just rang JHP who confirmed the part is no longer available. Same answer - Unless someone has some old stock, no chance in getting one I will make a template up and get one made. if it looks okay then I'll get some more made for you guys. Don't hold your breaths though as it won't happen this week... By the way, it will most likely be made out of Zintek, which is zinc plated steel sheet. |
