I don't know if you researched it or took my advice from one of the threads for the 48 tooth sprocket, but I could only find one dealer in the UK out of all the dealers in the UK and Continental Europe I could find who was willing and able to mail order a darn sprocket. It was far less complicated than JT Sprockets official channels, and cheaper too! I just wish there was a 46 or 44 they made!?
I have religiously used 1 liter of oil for my changes, but not sure if it makes a big difference using 1 quart. One of the chain auto parts stores carries Castrol 10w-40 4-stroke oil in both liter and quart sizes, so I have always bought that (probably a little fancy, but the savings in gas for my daily 33 mile commute more than make up for paying a couple bucks extra). I have the street tires, which are still great after over 5k miles, so I will be interested to see how the knobbies are in comparison.
