I did something one year ago that I always said I would never do. I installed new sprockets on a chain with about 9,700 miles on it. Why, because I hated the 14/45 sprocket ratio. The sprockets appeared to have no wear on them. I said "What the hell". No ill effects as of 2,500 miles. And man, this little Ninja has come alive. The engine runs through the power range like an Alfa Romeo Spyder or an XKE Jaguar. If you like a 1967 Dogde R/T with a 440 and 4:56 rear axle ratio - it ain't for you.
