      Aye, after much more research I admit defeat. Always replace both chain and sprockets when replacing either.   Roll Eyes
 
     - The two surfaces are designed to mate and wear together (the sprocket-tooth/chain-roller interface) and use of a new sprocket with a worn chain can quickly ruin the sprocket.
     - Don't cheap out on components that can have disatrous consequences if failure occurs. (A snapped chain can lock up the rear wheel, crack the engine case, hit/break ankle/leg... might be rare but risk is risk right?)


Very useful resources:

I think getting an on campus garage would be too sick. We could try to petition it. Somehow I just dont think that its gonna happen. Ill try with you.

And ever if does work, theyll have to increase tuition another $4000 to make up for it.  Roll Eyes

HAHA so true.
it would be sick indeed, or we could just claim the motorcycle parking section of gilman for ourselves and convert it into a garage =P

Now that would be too sick lol. We kinda already did a small bit though lol
