RaptorRRC,

If so it wasn't apparent. I guess because it made the long power band even longer. The front end "seemed" to lift a lot easier, but I wouldn't even try it on the sand without major performance mods. It screams on flats with knobbies, though. (Feels better due to increase in acceleration between gears, I'm sure). Try it when you're just killing time; seems to have no redline because you climb gradually in 5th and, like the energizer bunny......you know the rest, Later!

 

 

Has anyone had to replace the chain guard from running a smaller counter sprocket? If so, how long (or how many rides) was it before it had to be replaced?
