I might throw on the pannier rack ready for next weekend later today, hopefully the Wolfman Bags will turn up by mid week so I can fit & check them out :whistle:
A slight reshuffle in the way I pack stuff is needed I think as the new tent arrived on friday

MurphEasy job to do the sprockets & chain mate, just a few hints to help you along.
With chain still on, Use a piece of pipe (I use trolley jack handle) thru the rear wheel to lock under the swingarm.
This enables you to undo the front sprocket nut/bolt (different bikes have different sprocket setups).
Always use new bolts and nuts when fitting the new rear sprocket, don`t overtighten sprocket bolts because they will stretch :whistle:Fit new front sprocket but nut/bolts hand tight only.
Fit new chain being careful to set the correct length to suit your bike , use chain breaker to remove links (I have used a grinder to grind rivet heads in the past) A breaker is a better investment $50 for a toolbag size one.
Be sure to install the master link with the open end of the clip facing the rear of the bike when it passes over the front sprocket.Retension the front sprocket nut/bolt by using the pipe method again, but this time locking on the top of swingarm.
Use a small screwdriver in between the chain & sprocket, turn wheel in reverse and tension axle nut, then remove screwdriver,,,
ALL DONE
Sorry I have no pics to explain these, might be able to take some examples later today if you need James

Nah not really, its just that you don’t need new rear sprocket nuts and stuff with the Tenere and the front sprocket nut is 32mm and not many people have a socket that big. Also the lock tab normally needs replacing and I have a few new ones. I also have a few new chains that come on them, they are good chains but I replace them because they aren’t gold :laugh: :laugh: Also its probably cush drive bearing time
That is why I said ring me, the rest of it was all good stuff
