They're not fitted properly yet. I need sockets and a torque wrench from a mate but he's away for a few days which is just plain rude
Looks like 899 chain adjusted block is opposite way round to 959 - must be how they lengthened the wheel base on the 959.
That 36mm 12 tooth jobbie on the back is never £8! I'm not home this weekend and it's raining so it's not the end of the world waiting. And I really, really need to stop spending money
Yeah looks like they swapped them round on the 959! Cheap way to lengthen the wheel base... Redesigned swing arm my arse! Here you go mate. Works as good as the Ducati one! Laser 0954 1/2" Drive Deep Impact Socket 36mm - Machine Mart - Machine Mart Laser Air Impact Deep Socket 36mm 1...
You can run them both ways, I've got the service manual and it says to spin them when the adjustment gets long to avoid unscrewing the adjusters too much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ah right that's a good idea I went up a tooth at the back and had to wind the screws in a few turns to compensate. If I went up more teeth I would have to turn the adjusted round
I'm sure I read somewhere that it works fine either way. I just took some photos before I took it apart so I got it right. I've put it back in exactly the same place but as I have a new sprocket (standard size) do you think my chain tension needs checking? Ah bargain. No machine mart near me though. Tools are on my list of things to but
As above, you just switch them round to suit the adjustment you want. Bought a socket and torque wrench from Amazon for £30...

Looking at google images of both bikes it seems like 899 is as per your photos and the 959 is reversed. They fitted a 43t sprocket to the 959 which is probably why they switched it round. I'm sure they also lengthened the wheel base a few I'm in the 959. Halford have them sockets for £10
Did you weigh them to compare to standard wheels? Look good by the way. Transforms the bike without red wheels
No I didn't weight them but the difference is massive. Really pleased. Dymag turned them around in a week as well
They do look good. Will be easier to clean too! I wonder how they compare to the OZ's Did you get them from HPS?
Nope, Motodex. Really helpful guy. £137 cheaper than Hps, Bike Torque and Dymag direct with the black sprocket.
