I started feeling some slippage in the hind end and the horrific sound of aluminum being eaten away.
Fewer teeth than a Eureka Tweeker, and that chain doesn't looks so hot either.
A quick call to Lee at ATK and I had a nice bright and shiny, yet slightly orange 48t in my mailbox. He was very in kind in telling me that I had my chain WAAAYYY too tight and the three finger rule is one to abide by and the only thing that could shred a 7075 aluminum sprocket is over tightening the chain. He was right.
Got a gold Regina D.I.D. 520x120 to "match" the talons
That Loctite was exactly that!
My countershaft
The countershaft I wish I had.
After trying to source the countershaft part locally I finally came to my senses and called down to Ron Woods shop and got a replacement 16t within a couple of days.
Of course trying to make sure it is "shouldered" and the splines are correct. Looks decent.
A few different shades of anodized gold FTW!
Took the opportunity while the bike was on the stand to take a look at the CRF brake pads....not so good.
Some EBCs popped in and I'll be doing stoppies in no time.
