I'll post up links of the parts before I order just to make sure it's the right stuff for my bike...
Any recommended sites ?

i have ordered several times through solomoto parts, and Dan has very fair prices and excellent customer service. they will ship that over for free, since the total is over $99.
and i know someone posting on this thread, that would most likely be willing to install it for you for a very reasonable price :idea:
if you do order from there, there is a drop down for size. just select stock for both sprockets (unless you know your sprockets have been changed like -1/+2)
Oh crap, I just remembered Geof did say they were swapped. I THINK he said +1, -2. I also have the stockers. Just looked at them.. decent looking.. just need to be cleaned.
Chain 110 or 120 Link?
On edit....Guessing 110 and remove a few links if I go back to stock?
if your teeth have been changed, there is a chance your chain may be a few links too short. the chain needs to be replaced regardless.
go to that Ace Hardware and get some kerosene (down stairs, 2nd isle). clean those sprockets with kerosene using a nylon brush, but dont leave it soaking. make sure you wear gloves when using the kerosene.
everyone recommends replacing both sprockets and chain at the same time, for even wear. if those stock sprockets are in good shape, it's up to you if you wanna save $60. check those links i posted. they should be for an 02 TLR with a stock 530 chain using suzuki's OEM sprockets (sunstar).
best way to answer that is to count your links on the chain you have. the 120 link chain will obviously cost a few more bucks.Quote:

I'll buy the new sprockets. I'll call Geof tomorrow and see what the current set up is so I can stay the same. The chain says max engine size says 750cc which is weird since the search is set for my bike..
i originally gave you a link to a 525 chain by mistake, but then edited that chain link. check it again. sprockets and chains have to match up. your bike stock is a 530 chain, so you would need 530 sprockets.Quote:

If you like the current setup, stick with it
+1, I clean my chain every 300-500 miles and I'm over 10,000 miles and it's no where near being replaced.
If I were you I'd replace the chain and sprockets.

Hi Guys, The chain is fine. I just left a little too much slack when I had the rear apart to install the rear shock. Just needs to be adjusted. When I get back from My current deployment I pan to take care of that for him. I'll probably take care of cleaning the chain as well since I neglected to do that before the sale. sat all winter collecting dust and such.
oh he's the guy that bought your bike?
i disagree about the chain wax. that needs to be put on a hot chain. use Bel-Ray Superclean. it goes on white so you can see what youve lubed.
do you really need more torque down low with a TL?Quote:

Yup.. Couldn't be happier with the transaction.. I've dealt with a hole sellers before but quite the opposite with Geof. :twothumb:Quote:
