Chain and sprockets

[Charles Scappaticci]

Bill,

I have replaced mine a couple of times, and have gotten similar good wear
out of my chains, but have stayed away from aluminum for reasons of wear.
I have always used the OEM front sprocket and have had good luck with cheap
Sunstar steel sprockets on the rear.  I currently have a DID chain on it
and have a fresh one to install on it at some point.  YMMV with aluminum,
but I stick to steel.  And as far as prices go, the new chain and sprockets
I just put on my Ducatio were $$$, but I went with a DID X ring chain as
the OEM Ducati chains are known to be shit.
