| sprockets and in bits On a track day, bike starts to make a nasty noise. Put it on the rear stand to check, Put in neutral and checked rear wheel was free. Revved upto @6,000. Big bang, chain flies out the back accompanied by bits of one link plus (as I later found out) 2 rear sprocket teeth. On the way out the chain also knocked my rear hugger breaking the rear support. ******* thing had jumped into gear. However now need new items. When I bought it (996R), it had a 14 tooth Renthal front, 36 back with a Renthal quick changer and Regina chain. See no need to change teeth sizes and likely require a Renthal front and back sprocket to fit the quick changer. Any reason to change this set up, for example different chain than Regina or is there any benefit or advantage of 520 over 525 chain? Anyone know of a good (cheap and quick) supplier of said bits or part used going? Fortunately the nasty noise was a loose flywheel.   |
