Default Just makes sence.

Its always a good idea to replace your timing chain and gears as a set. As the chain wears it changes the wear pattern on the teeth of the sprocket. If you only replace the chain, then the different wear pattern will wear your new chain out in no time. Its a pain in the arse to get to the timing chain because you hafta remove all the front accesories, so as a rule of thumb whenever your down in the neighborhood change the T/C and gears. Its a cheap set so why not?
