RE: [ST] Bought an ST!

["Dan Wetherington" <DEW@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich, I think we discussed this before... (wait, what haven't we
discussed more than once?).  It has something to do with the DSSA v.
SSSA.  Also, the ST numbers refer to the bike on the centerstand, rear
wheel in the air.  With the RS, there is no centerstand (correct?),
therfore the suspension will be slightly compressed which "should" make
the chain a little tighter...

Just my $0.02

Check the chain tension with the bike on its center stand.  You're
looking for 35 - 40mm of slack measured at the tightest spot of the
chain.

Interesting.  My RS calls for 25-35mm.  I wonder why the ST needs more
slack?

<<SNIP>>
Triumph specifies mid-grade (89 octane) gas.

Yeah, but after a recent thread, I found that I can run 87 octane w/o
any ill affects.
