The Tiger drive sprocket has a cush drive center and it is recommended that a 19 tooth Triumph 1050 Sprint ST sprocket be used as a replacement as it has a cush center also! You can get one from your dealer.
Hope this helps?

Many thanks guys , i like the idea that the ST sprocket will fit with the cush drive

I bought a renthal 19t sprocket for less than half the price of a ST sprocket, thinking that if i dont like it i havent wasted too much cash. After fitting it i went for a test ride taking note of the revs and the speed, with the standard sprocket 59 mph at 3500 rpm, new sprocket exactally the same but felt quicker , i couldn't beleive it. I inlisted the help of a friend to do 60 mph and i would follow, i found that my speedo was showing 56 mph and about 3200 revs.Can anyone explain how ?

The stock 1050 front sprocket is an 18T. If you put a 19T on you effectively increased your gearing by 5.5%. BUT, your instruments are unable to tell you have changed your gearing. So they show the same speed/rev combo as previously, however now, for any given indicated speed you are going 5.5% faster. You really need a GPS to confirm this, not another bike with a 10% error (typical) in it's speedo.

Should also have mentioned a lot of older bikes had the speedo run from the front wheel. On those bikes changing gear ratios wouldn't affect the speedo accuracy. Most "modern" bikes use pulses from the engine not the wheel, so speedo accuracy is dependent on gear ratios.
