I'm going to have to replace the chain on my naked K7 very soon as I've developed a tight spot and was wondering of any advantage of spending extra wonga and getting an X ring chain instead of the standard O ring. Also just changed front sprocket for a 16 tooth to drop engine revs while cruising on motorway, any thoughts on dropping a tooth on rear sprocket so it would be the same as a sport or would I lose too much acceleration, mainly motorway miles that I ride (approx 250 miles a week).
Any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
