    The blade will shortly need a new chain (16k) and need recommendations for chain and sprockets please. Is it a standard 42 tooth sprocket? 320 chain?

    do I need a front one too?

    thanks!

    Do them as a kit, both front and rear and I would stick with OEM. What year's your bike and I'll get a price.

    Not for me just wouldn't suit the all black blade but I can appreciate it looking good on others.

    Well I've done 7200 miles on this 1 and there's very little sign of wear mate, and I've only had to adjust the chain once. I replaced the OEM's within a week of buying the bike.

    I like Renthal personally, good hardwearing sprockets and I usually use a D.I.D chain with standard 530 pitch. Going -1 on the front this year though to get that little bit of extra acceleration. I wanted to go with a 520 chain but Mark at BSD persuaded me against it as my bike is mainly used for the road and not the track.
