Im due for a chain and sprocket change, wondering if I should go with 45T rear instead of 48T stock? Anyone have any experiance with this? Its meant to get rid of a lurnch in power the bike has at low throttle, but Im not sure if thats just something I can ride around and 45T will kill charecter by reduceing acceleration (or something like that Rolling Eyes )

Also, any chain sproket reccomendations? I see a regina kit though wondering about JT sprockets + DID chain? I want something that will last and I can trust for long journies/trips

Many thanks! Very Happy

70T rear sprocket required Thumbs Up

JT sprockets & DID chain will be fine - however check which DID chain you're buying. A DID roller chain will be crap in terms of lifespan compared to even a budget x-ring chain.

DID ZVM-X chain, JT sprockets...that'll last.

Have a play with going up or down on the front sprocket as they're only a fiver and 15mins work to remove if you find you don't like it Thumbs Up
