At the rear sprocket, try to pull off a link (straight back, middle of the sprocket) and if it comes out by half the depth of the tooth, replace chain and sprockets. It doesn't matter how tight the chain is adjusted, at that place it can show how worn it is.

It is in perfect stock condition with 12k miles. The only thing I need to replace is my chain and sprocket set. I'm looking for some insight on whether to keep it stock, gear for speed, or gear for torque. Where I live is rural, so Highway comes secondary to fun on the twisty/hilly country roads of western Maryland. Please let me know your experiences/thoughts. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
