RE: [ST] 99 sprint st chain adjusting question

["Chris Harwood" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is interesting!

I thought I'd seen 25-35mm somewhere - it's in the Owners Handbook; RS:
25-35mm; ST: 35-40mm.

However, factory Service Manual has a common section for both models
but ILLUSTRATES the ST with the caption 35-40mm.  Consequently I had
actually done 35-40 on my RS.

Just for completeness, Haynes has all FI '97 - '00 triples as 35-40mm.

I'm sure the difference is due to the ST's single sided swinging arm vs

your RS's traditional double sided arm. Someone with a better
mechanical 
engineering head than me will no doubt be along presently to explain
the 
reason properly.

"real" 
road racing - the NW200!
(No Triumph Daytonas there this year though - shame.)
