Re: [St] Aluminum or Steel...



Two up at the rear gives roughly 5% more revolutions per mile, two
smaller at the front is almost 12% change.

IIRC my ST's OEM sprocket was a Sunstar, which is what I replaced it
with 
(steel) for longer life.

Sure, "aluminium" reduces unsprung weight but we're talking street bikes
here.

I sourced all my replacement chains and sprox at
MotorCycleOnlineStore.com last 
time around. JT for the front and Sunstar for the rear.  Mention your
HSTA 
membership for a discount.

Now why would you go up 2 in the back rather than dropping one or two in
the 
front?  Seems easier to me w/o risk of needing another link in the
chain, etc.
