It is a good idea to swap chain and sprockets at the same time. Does the sprocket show wear ? How many miles do you have on your bike?Originally Posted by MCase
I went with the 43 Steel from JT sprocket, little more top end front stays down more than with a 44t, good price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Sprocket definitely has wear. Been needing to replace it for the past 500 miles. Right now I have about 7300 on it.
What does your front sprocket look like? If the front is worn it ruin a new chain fast.
Normally all 3 should be changed at the same time, to be correct. I know it's not what you wanted to hear. Finding front sprockets are a challenge for the EBR.
If they are not too bad you will be fine.

To be honest, I havent checked the front sprocket until today. Thoughts? I did get the JT sprocket (stuck with 44t) on order, my DID chain, and a new chain slider box ordered.

It looks like it seen better days. To make a better judgement will need to see a shot from the side view.

LAP has a few swingarms left and selling them pretty cheap -at least it seemed cheap to me - on ebay right now. Might be worth the peace of mind to replace it at that price.

Great price for a Swing arm, IMO not needed for a few chain marks.
Went ahead and ordered the new front sprocket. Changing all three items at once seems like the best course of action here.
^^^^^^^ Yes it is ! Keep your new chain adj better than your first one wont hit the s arm.
Tighten it to the point that you think it's too tight and then go a little more. If you have a cheap fish scale (spring scale for checking weight) you want about 3/4" total movement with 30 lbs of pull force on it. I know that sounds absurdly tight but it's not. If there were more than 1100 EBR's out there, I'd go ahead with one of my tensioner checking tool ideas I had a few years ago that would be totally fool-proof, but, since there isn't, I won't do it.
