    Replaced tonight - difference in bike is night and day, feels so much smoother and more importantly faster.

    Think my 3 very wet trips took their toll - cannot remember how old they were but not mega miles - more TLC needed maybe

    Anyhow - here is the 'old vs new' picture

    Be interested in how the dyno power figure changes as with old chain it was barely 150bhp.

    Its funny how you get used to something, then when you change it, everything feels different, I always think that a new chain/sproket set always makes the bike feel smoother, less vibration and more responsive.

    Mine is just coming up for change and it feels as rough as hell, but to be fair its closing in on 20K so not a bad life.

    I think my first set original set run with scottoiler did nearly 30k.

    These have prob done 15 - 20k so jot actually that bad!

    May put the oiler back on, just makes bike filthy and with white wheels a bit of a pain!

    Need to keep my eye open now for another set to put on the shelf.

    Cheers again Wedgie, think I forgot to thank you at the time when they turned up.
