Hi Guys, I just bought a renthal 40t rear sprocket for the 1200 1996. Its got a 42t standard.
I contacted a dealer who said only a 42t or larger was avaible.

I was looking fro a 39t as my gas mileage is crap.(or fit a lighter right hand) My best bet is to buy a 20t front if I can get one. Anyone know of a U.K. supplier 20t front or 39t rear.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Sprocket Specialists have a chart on their web site that lists a 39 to 48 rear and a 19 / 18 / 17 front as the limits of the range.
What is your mpg ? I know with mine the economy immeditaly improved just with replacement of all the vacum and fuel tubing.

My Gas milage

My MPG is very poor. Yes I know its mostly my fault!

I have done all my riding on a race track. Ive only been on the road for three and a half years. My driving instructor would radio me to pull in while the other students caught up.

I just cant stop opening the thing up when I can.
I just dont see any reason to do 60- 70 when I can do 100-110 (closed road my ar$e) .

Im getting 100 miles to a tank on the 1200. and 67 a tank on the 1050 speed triple. I havent tested the trophy 900 "single headlight".

I dont care how bad the other bikes are, But I bought the 1200 for long distance. If its hard on fuel I might as well ride something else.

Hi Mike,

Have an attack of lead paw do ya

Ok, Sprint is an easy place to get sprockets from in the UK for triumphs, but the best they do is 19 front and 40 back.

What make of carbs are on your bike as that can make a big difference as well to fuel consumption.

Cheers, Matt
