I replaced the stock Regina on my '01 at around 18.5k miles. The tip off
that it was time to replace it was the uneven wear. I found that if one
section was adjusted correctly, other sections when I rotated the wheel were
too tight. The sprockets were not in too bad shape but I did replace them
anyway. I went with Triumph stock sprokets, dropped to a 17T in the front,
and a DID 530-ZVM chain. Don't forget to replace the slider and it's
mounting bolts on the swingarm. I noticed a much smoother ride right off
the bat.
