Hey, so my bandit needs new sprockets, currently shes sporting a cheap as chips chain while I get around to this but the noise is getting on my nerves. (yes i'm lubing it)
So my question is this: how hard is it to swap the main drive sprocket? and what tools will I need. I have general mechanical experience but a 1981 mini is on a totally different level of accuracy to the things ive seen in the GSF600 manual (is it just me or is a GSF250 manual pretty much unobtainable?) I'm talking experience of doing it before someone sends me back to the manual, I know how an innocent two pages can take an afternoon of swearing! Also, is 'dropping a tooth' on the main sprocket a sensible decision? Or does 11k at highway speeds get a little old on a long cruise?
Cheers :rockon:
