XTX/XTR:R

DRIVE KIT MAKE / MODEL:OEM

TYPICAL RIDING (TOWN/MOTORWAY/COMMUTING/OFF ROAD): All + some racing!!!!

TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED:15k miles (front sprocket stripped all its teeth, chain jumped off once and stripped more of the rear teeth, after this the chain had a few suspect links so thought it needed a change. If the chain didnt jump off the sprockets im sure it and the rear would have lasted till around 20kmiles)

FINAL COMMENTS ON C&S PERFORMANCE: Not too bad if the chain hadnt jumped off, also the front sprocket just gave up the ghost. Just ordered a new set of BandCexpress but i dont like the look of the hard anoidised rear as it looks more like a cheap auliminmum race sprocket.
