  1. Yes had a few of those but It always feels like I am in the wrong gear so when I accelerate it is very chuggy. this is at low speeds though. OR is this just the characteristics of a twin??

  2. You need a 14T front sprocket then. ;-). Miles better!

  5. I paid £16 I think from the stealers. You can get them for as little as £14 on eBay. Just remember to get the right pitch. 525 is standard.
