I want to change my front sprocket to a 15T from 16T but I gather that I will need to buy the correct sprocket for my chain pitch. I don't know the pitch of my chain but will there be some sort of markings on it to tell me? From what I've read 525 pitch chains seem to be the most common fitment?

Hi guys - ME AGAIN went out yesterday with the missus on the back problem is the chain was catching on the exhaust link pipe (centre piece) is that because i didn't have enough preload or could it be slightly bent pipe catching enough to make a noise and leave a mark photo to follow

OK, picture this, and please indulge me because it's not been a great day..... Nice new qualifier RR's fitted, but on fitting noticed that the chain was beyond stretch, so ordered a new chain and sprocket set (Triple S chain) So a few days ago, the chain and sprocket got fitted, the link plate...
