Ride first, chain second?

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Is the chain so bad that you could not to another few miles on it?

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Yup, it has split/lost a some of the shells that sit on the links

So it's lighter now and you can go faster.

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Job, I am disappointed! You should be on it right now, slaving away into the night. Only takes a few hours when you know how.

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Fallout, read above. I have no new chain ;) I have new sprockets aas i know they needed doing. Upon removing sprockets i found the missing shells on the chain

Got Pilot Road 2's fitted today and they feel terrible :/

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Bad bad boy! Always renew chain and sprockets as a set!

You'll get used to them mate. New tyres always feel different. Road are sport touring aren't they? If you had sport on before, they'll feel worse until you get used to the sensation. I had the same issue with my SV when I renewed the rubber, but got used to it within 100 miles.

i have Avon vyper's before... which were full on sports tyres whereas these are dual compound. I know they are going to feel very different but by god it was terrifying!
