Re: [ST] chain and sprockets



When I had my dealer do the chain a while back he used the rivet 
link.. generic tools.. course they ONLY do rivet links and do quite a 
few so .. As for sprockets I replaced the front with an OEM unit 
primarily based on my dealers recommendation that there is a reason 
for the rubber damping ring on the OEM unit. For the rear I did a 
STEEL Afam rear I would recommend against an aluminum rear since they 
wear much quicker than steel and the weight savings in my opinion is 
pointless on a bike like the ST.
