Lower engine RPM means more teeth on the front, but less on the rear. But I bet you knew that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt Nolte To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2011 10:31 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Storing a chain?
So, I'm considering taking a little of my tax refund this year and putting a taller sprocket set on the 750. I have power to spare in spades for my daily commute, and I'd like to bring the cruising RPM down a hair. I'm thinking another tooth on the front sprocket, or maybe 2 on the rear. Anyway. The chain and sprockets that are on the bike now are only ~5k miles old, but the chain is a slip-link type that I really don't like. I don't have a lot of trust in the link, so I'm constantly checking it when I fill up, when I lube the chain every other fill, random times before getting on the bike... so I want the chain off and a good solid riveted link chain on (I have the proper, good quality tools and will be getting guidance from a pro). BUT. I hate wasting things. So I'd like to keep the current chain and sprockets as a backup spare, in case something untoward happens to my new setup. What would be the best way to store an o-ring chain long term, so that it's ready to go when I need it? -Kurt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
