QUICK SPIN: H-D SWITCHBACK – 37Harley-Davidson has built what Big Dave reckons will be some very well received versatility into it’s latest Dyna model, the new-for-2012 Switchback.

QUICK SPIN : DUCATI MULTISTRADA – 42With only three days to ‘test’ it in our backs were up against it bringing you this report. Fortunately guest testers Jock and Oscar were able to drop everything and answer the call. Jock first.

CHANGING TIMES IN CHINA – 45With quantity seemingly more important than quality it’s been easy, so far anyway, to dismiss China’s nascent motorcycle industry. Not any more says special KR correspondent David McMullan.

COLD KIWI – 51It wouldn’t be a Rally without the odd run-in with one dickhead or another. Or so Mike Nash reckons as he recounts his experience at this year’s Cold Kiwi.

INSIDE SWC: BMW S 1000 RR – 66Fans of BMW’s S 1000 RR are still waiting for the sleek German machine to fulfil its Superbike World Championship promise. Michael Esdaile has the story.

DIRT TEST: 2012 HUSABERG FE390 – 96It’s lean, lithe with just the right kind of power for tricky off-road work, but the FE390 is also capable of blasting down open trails with the best of them as Brenton May discovered after a vigorous two day session

DIRT COMP: MX OF NATIONS – 101Yep, they won it again, but the USA didn’t have it all their own way at the MX of Nations in France this year. Andy McGechan has the story.

KIDS’ BIKE TEST: KTM 85 SX – 120KTM’s 85 SX is a popular choice for Jnr MXers. But what’s it like in the forest. We asked KR Kid’s tester Jake Wightman for his opinion.

BUYING A SECOND HAND KID’S BIKE PT2 – 125Last month BikeMart man Todd outlined how and why he chose a particular model bike for his youngest son. This month he takes a closer look at the buying process.

CHEAP SPROCKET.EXPENSIVE

FIX.Go ahead and save a few dollars on cheap sprockets. But when you buy inferior quality sprockets you’ll not only get less life out of that sprocket, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll get reduced life out of the chain.

Why buy JT Sprockets?

JT Rear Sprockets use super hard ultra durable high-carbon C49 steel. No other rear sprocket is made from this material. Most use inferior C45 steel.

JT Front Sprockets use SCM415 Chromoly Steel and are fully heat treated. Nearly all cheap front sprockets are only surface hardened. Once the hardened surface is worn the sprocket life is diminished.

Every JT sprocket is made the right way, by hobbing, machining and drilling. This is the only way to achieve the closest tolerances and the best tooth profiles. And every sprocket goes through 10 individual quality control checks before it leaves the factory. That is why we can guarantee the quality of every JT sprocket sold in New Zealand.

Spending $10 or $20 more for a set of quality JT Sprockets, in the big picture, is money well spent, giving you up to 2 to 3 times the life of your sprockets and chain.

Insist on quality JT Sprockets and DID chain.
