[ST] Re: TriumphSTDigest Re: 2002 ST DOWN UNDER. CHAIN/SPROCKETS



Hi Harry,

You're way overdue for a new chain. It has stretched and your new sprockets 
have too short an interval for the chain. Change the chain immediately 
before you wreck your new sprockets.

We change our chains at 25,000km no matter what.

All the Best,
