I bought a 14T front for my 796, but I never installed it.  Now I'm kind of glad I didn't.  I just ordered a new chain and sprocket set... 15T front, with a bigger 42T rear... I think that's the way to do it.

When I still had my CBR1000F, I decided to change the cam chain... it was rattling like a rock in a tin can.  Soooo... I'm turning the crank, looking for the master link.  Yea... not so much.  You can all laugh at me, now...   [laugh]
