14t gearbox sprockets on SSie bikes
I'm a member of www.ducati.ms and the guys on there reckon you can't fit a 14t gearbox sprocket to an 800ss (which is the same as the 750ssie and 900ssie). I say you can - I have one on my 800ss racer - it goes straight on, there's no misalignment and the chain run is straight and free. Yet they still say it can't be done - I've almost been accused of lying via pm!

As a matter of interest, who here is running a 14t gearbox sprocket as well. What are your experiences?

Without being shouted at for not reading the title, I'm running a 14 on my ST and I have no problems.

Me. No reason why it wouldn't fit!

They reckon that all the aftermarket sprockets they can get including Renthal are offset - so much so that the chain won't run on the wear strip or go on the sprocket.

Here's the thread:

Jesus, they look at the sprocket and just decide it doesn't fit - in their uneducated opinion. And simply ignore the advice of people who've done it! And Shazaam FFS!

Oh dear ...
