Bollocks, get of your arse and go get it

Hi - anyone else experiencing their engine sprocket wearing a lot quicker than the rear?
My set up is 14/43 (fitted 14 engine sprocket around 2.5k) at 9k despite Scott Olier and chain maintaining its adjustment - engine sprocket is hooked (read needing replacement along with rear sprocket and chain)
thanks in advance - cheers Aslan![]()
those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind..
Thats normal. Theres only 1/3 of the teeth taking the same load so you would expect to replace 3 front sprockets to 1 rear. Dont let the front get too worn or it will wear the chain prematurely
thanks Phil - will change back to original 15 T and see how I go - cheers and regards to you and Dawn - S

I was surprised y'day at just how tall 1st gear is with the 15T after what I have been used to and no engine braking to speak of too! I'm seriously considering going down to a 14T after yesterdays outing!
When you went 15T stock down to the 14T, how much do you think your top end speed changed? Any noticeable difference for you when cruising at motorway speeds 100-110kph?
Cheers, Dave
re the engine braking - your bike seemed slow to return to idle which makes downhill engine braking worse. Is there some 'emissions' slow return to idle on a dr650 or am I just used to the whiplash fast response of a klr??
also yesterday was my first ride going from a stock 15T to a 16T. What a great difference on road 4000=100kph 5000=120kph and it didnt seem any worse off road (rekluse clutch hides this by slipping)
