The 15th tooth front rocket has very little effect at low speeds. You probably won't even notice the difference if you ride it with the original sprocket and then switch over. Where you WILL notice the difference is when you are cruising. At 60 to 70 miles an hour, the bike will feel a lot less buzzy. 😃
Good review, I like the ideas of the mods you've done to it, how do you find the weight of this bike when pushing it around? I'm considering buying one, but have seen that the Voge 500DS is a bit lighter. 👍
The bike is heavy to push but not ungainly. Irecently had a complete change as I fancied somethig for shorter and more sporty rides so I bought Triumph 660 Trident. Look at the new 660 Tiger......
Rather than wait for the chain to stretch with use to put on a bigger front sprocket I would put a smaller back sprocket on the back, perhaps 2 less and the chain would be fine.
Hi, the 15T sprocket is a good idea, i did the same on my old kle500 and it worked very well. Can you tell me where you bought the new sprocket from? as this will be a mod i will put on my trk when it arrives next month, good review and looking forward to the next one👍
How wide is this bike (I guess from crash bars)? I have a 40 inch, here in usa, side entry at the side of the house that I take my TnT 300 in/out of the garage. Hope this fits, price $6k usd is doable, but not sure if it will fit. Plus I may have to special order one from my local ssr dealer, the importer in usa, same dealer I bought my TnT 300 from. Any help will be awesome!
I bought the new 15T Sprocket from AliExpress but got caught for unpaid VAT which was £3 however by the time you've paid the post office their fee for collecting that £3 it becomes £11! I will try to post a link to the seller later today.
No Shaun but I have a friend who has the identical bike and has been out with his wife and luggage. It's not going to break any speed records but it's got enough power provided you don't weigh too much and overdo the packing!
Good review, I have the 502X, it’s an awesome bike for the price.👍🏼
I have the TRK502X, perpetual terror of a puncture as it has tube tyres 😆.
Hi I’m thinking of the 502 as my bike for retirement so can I ask how did the 15th tooth sprocket affect the slower speed? 😊🏍

Great looking bike dave what would a rolling road do for hp ;) regards tony wales
What is the top comfortable cruising speed for the motorway? How does it handle 80 mph for long periods of time?

buy a smaller rear sprocket instead of a bigger front.

Put a 15 teeth sprocket in front, that will do something to your rev. in high speed.
Nice video mate. We should meet up mate am in Southport about 2 hours from you we could meet halfway. Best of luck with your channel mate 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Have you ridden with a pillion?

@@Davethebluessinger hopefully going to test ride one when covid let's us.👍
Have you still got this bike.
Yes absolutely. It's a great bike. been on an NHS ride of thanks on it today.
@@Davethebluessinger oh great it's a stunning looking bike. What's it like on the motorway.
I avoid motorways wherever possible but it will cruise comfortably wherever. Solid bike totally planted and stable.
@@Davethebluessinger oh thanks for the information. Definitely getting one.
@@paulcummins5231 2020 is probably the best value unless you want the box section swinging arm.
Could you say me the name of the Windshieldspoiler ?=
Its just a generic spoiler I bought on ebay, no brand in particular.
I just sold a BMW R9T ..... also tubed!
It's not like the old benelli's.
In what way do you mean?
