would the short sports screen direct wind to chest and be overall quieter? Yes. I'm 6'2" - I've got the short Powerbronze screen, and I find almost no buffeting on my helmet, and the wind blast is on my chest.

Shell V-power has no ethanol here Didn't used to in Vancouver either, but annoyingly they changed that recently, and now the only ethanol-free I can get is Chevron 94 octane. Obviously limits availability.

Thanks for making the group aware of this issue. I just checked mine, and sure enough, it has been hitting the fender and marked it. Fortunately, no damage to the brake line, although it is slightly marked. I have put a protective sheath on the brake line, and a thin strip of self adhesive rubber tape on the fender, to prevent the brake line from touching it.

if you wanna go cheap. Clean with WD40 Or if you wanna go even cheaper, buy yourself a container of kerosene from the hardware store. Works great!

Hi Mark, how did you discover what part you needed exactly? Hey Adam - I went with info from a Facebook post of a Trident 660 owner who had just installed the 17T JT sprocket. I also saw a post on another forum. Hope you manage to get hold of one ok, I know they're in really short supply. I got mine from Amazon in Canada, and since then they've been unavailable here.

I'm surprised at complaints of jerkiness at low speed. It's something I just don't experience with my TS660, in fact it's by far the smoothest engine fueling-wise that I've had in my last 5 bikes (Buell XB12R, Yamaha MT09, Aprilia Shiver, KTM 790 Duke and now TS660.) I actively tried to make it happen yesterday by riding at a consistent 50 kph (30 mph) in 3rd gear, and no flat spot\jerkiness at all. I did find with my ultra-jumpy KTM that chain adjustment was critical to reducing the jerkiness - so I wonder if those experiencing this have excessively loose chains? Just a thought. Maybe some of our bikes have updated firmware? No idea, other than it's a complete non-issue with my bike, but I understand the frustration it causes - all my previous bikes bugged the crap out of me!

what are you guys using for chain lube? I use Motul C2 Road Chain Lube. Good product, just use sparingly to avoid fling.

Thanks markjanemhan for the info. I got the BAFX reader and TuneECU and used it yesterday to reset the service light after changing my oil and filter, no trip to the dealer!
Awesome, glad it worked out for you! Knowing what dealership shop rates are like, it probably paid for itself in one usage!

Man... 17t out of stock at Amazon.ca and fortnine.ca too. I even tried the dealer today and they also can't find any stock. I guess I'll wait and do it when I can get the part!
I contacted JT Sprockets directly the other day, and got a reply from Bike Alert, which I think is their distribution arm. They said that they are out of stock, but they are on order. Couldn't give a delivery date yet. So at least it looks like there will be some in production, hopefully soon. I want to buy another, to have ready for when it comes time to replace my chain\sprockets. Yes, I do intend keeping this bike for a long time!
