as above noticed the Diavel has a tight link on the chain. And looking for advice on what kit to go with. Should I replace with like for like or use the jt sprocket carrier as seen in the picture?
I just bought one for my Pani as it was recommended by the mechanic doing the service. Seems a good bit of kit. I'll get it on the bike within a week or so.
DID ZVM-X or Afam. I use the DID, last forever, rarely need adjusting and reasonable cost. Avoid the OEM chain at any cost, they are shit !!
As you couldn’t get a bigger rear sprocket for the Diavel when we changed relatively recently, just stuck with the cheaper longer lasting OE steel sprocket. As has already been said, DID or AFAM but most definitely not OE. Andy
I always use the full size steel rear sprockets. The only advantage the above has, imo, is the quick change facility if you are changing sprockets often for track days etc. I keep my chain well maintained and always use a good quality gold one and good quality steel sprockets. I avoid the alu rears as theyre like chocolate ime. >10k for the C&S is my norm.
Bikes currently got a did chain fitted I’m guessing it’s on the bike from near new as it’s worn out and needs adjusting often.. will definitely fit a gold link x ring chin
