Has anyone ever renewed their chain and sprockets yet? I have to purchase a new set after 11,500 miles. Streeeeeetched out! Looks like a 2-3 hour job... Any ...
I'm about to change mine, I ordered all the parts but Triumph supposedly is backordered on the gasket and seal that are necessary to complete the job. As soon...
I replaced the OE stuff at the suggested interval with AFAM. No change in gearing. I've replaced one countershaft sprocket since then and several chains. The...
For what it's worth, Bob's used cycle in Phoenix Arizona has a wrecked 98 TBS in their yard. I have bought parts off it before. not too many undamaged parts...
I went to jt sprockets http://www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&L=0&sel_uid=5466&p=#ratio you said you put a 42 tooth, on the rear, but did you change the front?...
I haven't done the job yet, still waiting for parts, but I did get a brand new front sprocket also with 17 teeth, I didn't check, but the parts counter guy...
Dropping a tooth in the rear will increase your gear ratio, higher top speed, less acceleration. Dropping a a tooth in the front, will lower your gear ratio,...
The Front is 17 teeth in stock trim. I don't think you can go any lower for the front sprocket. Dropping a tooth out back will lower the ratio giving you LESS...
Interesting -- the JT site shows a 17 tooth front for 1998 and 18 for everything since. I have a '99, so looks like I got the wrong front with 17 instead of...
Thats right, though one tooth in the rear, will make little difference (think of it as 1/43 or about 2% difference), where changing a tooth in the front (1/18...
Hi, I am putting my 1998 Yellow TBS on the market. It has 4600 miles...triumph single seat and cowl...off road pipes...and the clear triumph windscreen. It...
Rick - you da man ;) Your web site is great and I'm looking forward to your chain/sprocket tips. I have 15 K miles and presume I will need them soon too! -...

My dealer replaced chain/sprockets/rubber gaurd at around 22k miles. On the ride home from the shop it was immediately apparent that the gearing was different....
Thanks Dan. Boy it's amazing how much variance each year can bring. Yes,my pipes ARE one one side, so I'll do some research. Thanks for your feedback. ... ...

Hi, I'm selling my 2000 TBS for $3900. FIRM. Bike is a solid 9/10 with the only blemish being a very small dimple in the top of the tank. Pics are available...
Had the same problem, it turned out to be the clutch safety switch. It is just in front of the clutch lever, looks like a car door light switch. All it needed...
We forgot to try it, but it did look like it would fit. However my pipes are not stock and that leaves a tad bit more space for bags. ... Thank You, Denny...
