Any thoughts, that is a pretty broad question to this group :-)
IIRC the Triumph front sprocket has a built in dampner. With out
it you might be creating oscilations in the chain that get
out of check. I have an aftermarket rear sprocket, but OEM 18 tooth
front with a DID X ring chain, and life is good.
Please let us know what you find.
And sorry about the dealer situation, it is a shame that
Triumph in North America is saddled with less than stellar
representation. I would suspect if TOA was a bit more organized,
and Triumph came up wit a better certification process, life would
be a log better. And yes, I am still sore about having to wait 3 months
for my luggage
