    Bike is excellent for where I use it, Philippines roads, no big high speed stuff here. In city traffic the lower gearing is a lot easier on the clutch and going up the mountain twisty roads i can stay one gear higher than before which keeps the speed up. Max speed is 160 kmph but I rarely use it, normally riding at 80-100 here with occasional bursts of 120-140 but not for long.
    Fuel consumption has gone from 26 km/litre to around 23/24, but the benefits far outweigh that.

    Yes, many.

    Looks like the chain is pretty tight in the picture.

    Did you stick with the 112 link chain or go for a 114 ?

    Guys,
    On here somewhere is a thread I did about regearing my Terra, I had read some threads with negative feed back on JT re fitment and plat on the output shaft. The folks at Sprocketcenter.com have a TR specific listing. and with a simple phone call I got a real person on the line and he helped me with an appropriate gearing combo that fit the bill well. Aside from the fact I got a gold chain with not one but three master links for my bike, one press fit and two clip link jobs.... The whole package was ordered from the West Coast and was in my hands inside a week ..
    Good service, quick delivery and live help great products what more can a old guy ask for...

    Keep the maintenance up!

    Jeez! I guess that's one way to get water out of the swingarm... Hope you stayed upright.
