my local '400 shop' to go to...

They're good for parts they say if i have money i can get anything and i did get an oil filter I wanted, i've just changed the oil but...they have 40T rear sprocket written down for RVF(their little book), thats NC30 isn't it(40T), I've even got a 38T on at the minute(to reinforce my though that I do need a 38, extra teeth changes the bike!) and they saying crap like sprockets don't wear chains only the other way around, and if they're good you can leave them on and put a new chain on, am i not correct, if your not a cheapo, it's best to change both sprockets and the chain at the same time?? he ended it off with a 120 link(I know it's 102 for rvf) chain is fine and i can angle grind off the links I don't need because they only make a 90 link and 120.... I'll just go there for bits, when I know exactly what I need, not sure i'd want them to put shit on my bike either, got a better(and closer) place for that:) I love how my fellow south africans like to get their point across, can't go anywhere with a 'this cheaper product is just as good' crap, I KNOW WHAT I WANT, I'M PAYING, SELL IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEE LOL!!!

Standard for RVF is 15/38 with 102 chain
I would change them all at the same time....

Exactly what I said to them...they reckon not...I asked for a kit so they just went to go find a random rear sprocket, 40T(instead of 38T i wanted) some random front sprocket 15T off the wall and a 120 link DID chain...I'm not going to 'budget piece together' my sprockets and angle grind my chains!!, could cost me in other ways than money!

by altering sprocket sizes the gearing will change... more acceleration and bit less top end or vice versa..whichever way you alter..
it will also make your speedo read incorrectly

Maybe it's worth your time, paying RickO for postage mate.

Surprisingly enough, it's actually alot cheaper for me to be ordering parts through him, then to buy them in AUS.

It's not postage im worried about, it's whether there's customs duty, I have no idea of the limits and what is charged...
