[Red-Duc]

Im just about to order a new chain which has done over 6000 miles and is worn out, the sprockets have done the same mileage but look ok, would it be advisable to renew the sprockets aswell?? if so what make would be best to go with, its got renthal ones at the moment

Its always best to renew the chain and sprockets in one hit. The Sprockets that you have now may look ok but may well wear out quite quick after putting on a new chain. May even affect your new chains performance??

If putting a new chain on old sprockets was a quick fix for example, say to get you home after a breakdown then yes, but not as a rule.

As for what make? Renthal seen pretty good to be honest. If in doubt, give them a ring etc.

Yep, same here Red-duc.

I replace all of them to be sure they get even wear.

Renthal are the best in my eyes and they do hard-anodised ali rear sprockets which give good wear for mileage.

Let us know what bike/year/gearing you currently have and I'm someone will advise any alternatives. My suggestion would be 14 tooth front sprocket for good acceleration for little loos in top speed.

I'd replace the lot. I usually get mine from B&C Express, Renthal sprockets and Tsubaki chain, prices are excellent.

The 900sl is standared gearing i think 15 front and 37 rear, Think that im gonna stick with this as i cant afford to lose any topend

I can get you a costing if you like ?

Oh and i've had a Tsubaki chain for the last 4 years including 2 seasons ( ish ) racing.

I would definately recommend getting 39T rear sprocket. You'll hardly notice the top end difference but you'll get there quicker. Renthal sprockets and a Gold Alpha X ring Tsubaki chain. About £95 in all.
