Hello,
Just rolled 47500 on the cb1100 on the original chain and sprockets. I got new tires and the mechanic noticed it was starting to kink a little, so we ordered new chain and sprockets. The I asked to see the old sprocket and it had lots of life left the teeth were actually quite comparable to the new sprocket. My CTX the chain was done at 22k and the sprocket wear was very noticeable. I also got 37k out of the brake pads which was significantly better than ctx as well. The ctx was about the same weight but half the power. I also ride the cb harder than the ctx, but the complements lasted much longer. I even did two track days on those brake pads and chain/sprockets which is punishment the ctx never saw. Tires are a different story, I got way more miles out of the ctx rubber....
Are the OEM chain/sprockets that much better between the two bikes?
What did you get out of your first set of brake pads, chain sprockets????
