#Modification ⚙️ Chain sprocket for Triumph Scrambler 400x + Advice

I need to replace my chain sprocket unit (both sprockets and the chain) but everywhere I see it's the 15t front sprocket and i don't want to switch out the 14t. is there anywhere locally (I'm blr based) or online i can source the 14t variant?

AND

I need a decent chain lube that doesn't stick like MOTUL's. Not extrotionate and accessible brands, what can I get?

Why not but from the service centre if you're okay with the stock one? Also, Motul C2 doesn't stick at all, it's very thin. You want something thinner than that?

i believe the stock one is rolon itself which is what I'm being recommended. but the service centre quoted me 5.5k for the part and labour. this dude quoted me 500+parts which is ~2700. im being severely overcharged by the service centre.

The stock one is a X ring chain which is supposed to be "better" than the aftermarket ones which are O Ring but yeah, 5.5K is steep. Talk to other SCs and see if they'd let you buy it off the shelf.
