[QUOTE="Instaurare, post: 700611, member: 46654"] I really welcome all of the detailed feedback I am getting on this, since the more I know the more likely I will get it right the first time around. The 11 tooth sounds like a no-lose choice, since I would otherwise be discarding the perfectly good, new chain that I currently run. The reason I asked about excessive wear was that my background is mountain biking, and it was a kind of axiom among us that when a front sprocket was in need of change, you generally would also get a new chain and new rear sprocket also, since the chain conformed itself to the worn sprockets. Seems to me that in motorcycles this is not as important? Since this is just a woods bike for me (no competition riding), is a steel sprocket longer lasting than a more expensive aluminum one? Do riders choose aluminum only for the weight saving? There are a few situations I get into in which the easiest way to get across is to dismount and run the bike at close to idle, walking beside it. With low gearing, there is no need to feather the clutch, makes it much easier. I did get a Stealhy flywheel weight, which, as you said, Skipro, is a major improvement. The only size they came in was 10 oz., and I wish they had made a 14 oz. [/QUOTE]
