gravelrash 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Just fitted new chain and sprockets to the 1200 Banditwent with original front sprocket as it has a damper to cut transmission noise. Got to say due to passed experience with front sprockets(Kawasaki's) i was expecting a fight but front sprocket nut came of easy All done and dusted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted June 17, 2011 @Chadatious wrote:whats the difference with dry lube?dry lube is DRY , it does not collect grit and dirt then turn this into a grinding paste, modern chains have the lubricant sealed in with 0 of x rings, so the only friction you have is between the rollers and the sprockets, this is what dry lube does with out all the mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkember 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Chain wear is also down to riding style. If u like to give gobfulls of throttle & have the habit of riding on the back wheel then yes it will wear out faster.I had a B6 from new 8K miles later i sold it same chain & sprockets & I never had to adjust it. Note that bike had a scott oiler from day 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
