Interesting what you say about the 14t change, I had not picked up about the wear on the sliders - the comments I read I understood to be about the increased wear on smaller sprocket but now you say it it makes sense. I went 14t as it was the cheaper option and the existing chain and sprockets have done 6k miles. My logic being it was a cheap simple change that I could try out and if I liked it I could subsequently replace with 15/42 and a new chain. Does that make sense?
Yes, I can see your logic. I don’t which bike we’re talking about but be aware that on many it’s very tricky, if not impossible to change the front sprocket without breaking the chain and removing it.
@Bumpkin has experience of changing the front sprocket on that model without breaking the chain iirc from another thread.
Thanks for the link, Bumpkin has commented on another thread I started on the subject - I am going to have another go at the weekend at fitting the 14t sprocket. Thank you for your helpful comments - this is a very good forum for getting advice from knowledgeable people familiar with the marque. Cheers
@firecat0_0 I had to put a Monster on the Skylift this morning in order to get e rear wheel off. I think you might be able to get the front arm under the bike with the bike’s front wheel in a wheel chock .
Thanks for sharing it’s really helpful. I am going ahead with the purchase of a skylift it’s whether or not to buy now or wait for motorcycle live for a discount - does anyone know what level of show discount they give? I did ask abba when I called them to discuss the skylift. They were very helpful and confirmed a discount would be offered at the show but not how much. I am tempted to pull the trigger rather than wait until November but I do like a dis punt!
iirc they knock 10% off and/or give free shipping. If you sign up for emails from them, or are registered as a customer, you get notified when they have a sale, you won’t receive anything other than heads up on sales, no spam. They also have sales on bank holiday weekends and ‘Black Friday’.
Thanks for this, I will check up if I am a registered customer as i have bought from them in the past. Cheers
Usually 10% on Black Friday. That's the discount I got last year, when I ordered the Skylift and Storage System (worth having if space is restricted IMHO). Reckon it'll be the same at the show, but you won't have to pay postage on top.
