Well, when it rains it pours...time for a new chain and sprocket.  Any suggestions for something I can get here stateside?  Thanks.



What about taking a link out of what I think is an endless chain...?

You need a chainbreaking tool, they're easy to find.

You are well advised to junk the existing chain and don't forget when refitting a new one that the Tiger does carry quite alot of slack due to the suspension movement. Chain breaking tools are easily available and much fun to use.

Or you could just ante up. I had a local guy do the chain and sprockets on my Daytona for me, using parts I sourced from Sprocket Specialists and supplied. I think he hit me for 50 bucks which was money well spent from my perspective.



I was so pleased with the different the new rear sprocket made that I treated myself to a grunge brush, which is surely one of the best devices yet to be invented by man.

You can get a sprocket and chain set from your local Triumph dealer. No needd to break the chain if you change both sprockets, since you'll have the rear wheel off the bike. The front sprocket is easy to change as well, if you have an impact wrench and the right socket. About a 30 minute job, not hard at all.  If you want to gear up (spend most of your time on hard surfaced roads) you can opt for a Sprint ST front sprocket (21 tooth, I believe), also available at your Triumph dealer. Makes high speed cruising much easier on the Tiger. have fun.
