they said anodized hardening. I always thought anodizing was for color. they say the front is also case hardend and hard anodized for strength. trust me. I'm a pretty good mechanic and none of my bikes get put together half assed. the wheel is perfectly aligned. notice there is no wear on the outside of the sprocket, but I know you can't see the inside, but it's the same way. and the chain tension is perfect. the sprocket just isn't worth a crap.

the red scotch brite bads body shops use work better though. I do a little bit of painting so I've had some laying around to try. better than sand paper too. or if you have some the plain paint stripping roloc disc work too. as you can tell I'm a man in favor of power tools

this is what you should do. it's faster, better, and easier on your arms than just the scuffing pads. http://www.levineautoparts.com/3m1410.html

smoke, battery dead, loss of power, no more running and won't turn over. first thing I think of is a bad regulator/rectifier and now battery. the liquid could be the battery acid from being over charged while you was riding. or just a coincidence and it's something else not related to the problem. if the regulator/rectifier goes out the bike will run off the battery power until it dies. then you have nothing.

I just tossed a super nes in the trash a few months ago. that had 9 games. I just didn't feel like doing the ebay thing etc. too many jack asses on it anymore.

I'm just going to say it, I don't care about guys like that...got what he deserves? too harsh of a statement?? oh well, it doesn't change my opinions about those kinds of people. darwinism is right!

ferodo sintered has lasted me 25k miles now and they are about 3/4 of the way gone. and they do work better than ebc HH and galfer sintered. they need a little heat to work. so at first when you start out, they feel like normal brakes. but after one or two stops, it's a 5 fold increase in braking torque. ferodo claims their pads have the highest braking coefficient of all street/trackday pads. (I have the stac pads) http://www.oppracing.com/products/600-ferodo-brake-pads/

first time trying brake pads other that stock I suspect?

actually that's one of the oldest tricks in the book to get you to pay more than their asking price. all wheeler dealer lots will do this. that's why you shouldn't waste your time with them. go to a reputable dealer lot. I came back from a test drive once and they tried to tell me some old guy wanted the car and offered them an extra $2k and said he would sell it to me for $2,001 extra. I just laughed and handed him the keys and left.

why are so many of you scared of an intelligent president? I guess you guys just prove the point why george bush was president for 8 years...stupid people are easy to pursuade.

no. my driven sprocket is also a aluminum sprocket like 99% of aftermarket sprockets. the difference is how they harden them and how long they last. my friend had a afam sprocket last well beyond 12k miles. mine has about 8k. my brother had about 500. I don't think it was properly hardened. I think driven (mine) final hardens theirs by anodizing it. and it seems to be working perfectly.

there is a bar in mason that has a sign on the front door that says you must speak english LOL

this is what their site says, The rears are made of 7075 aerospace grade aluminum and is heat treated to a T6 hardness. I think they need to keep heat treating them then LOL

this is my brothers 3 month old 520 sprocket on a 80hp bike. the teeth are being chewed away. don't buy these junk assed sprockets! for comparison my driven sprocket after 3 years on a R6. still like new.

ok honestly while at work you shouldn't be on a internet forum. what the fuck is wrong with people these days playing around while at work and not working? that's not the american way. (partial sarcasm for our conservative members, because you don't know the meaning of the word hypocrites)

delete me double post

work safe??? how about you guys do some work while at work:rolleyes: only in america do you guys get paid so much to play around. that's why everyone's desk jobs are moving overseas.

cupping is from the rebound of the suspension being wrong. yours looks to be set too hard. take some rebound out of the shock and it should stop.

pp 2ct= bridgestone bt-016($239 shipped)(cyclesector.com) power one 2ct = bt-002rs or bt-003rs($239 shipped also from cyclesector.com) http://www.cyclesector.com/BRIDGESTONE_BT_003_RS_TIRES_SET_p/bridgestone-bt003rs-setgb.htm if you live in cincinnati sporttour in sharonville sells them for the same price as cyclesector.com but you have to pay tax. which is about $15. http://www.sporttour.com/

so you don't remember anything from history class about the great depression? how the government spending money that pretty much single handedly stopped it. no, I'm not making this up off the top of my head either. you guys watch fox news and listen to rush limbaugh too much.

the problem is nothing except people who don't know the real details of anything but sit on a forum and on tv and make a big deal out of nothing because they lost an election. when in reality all they seem to really prove is they don't like to see the usa succeed.

have you been to a junk yard lately? they look up the prices on a computer that gives them the national average going price for parts. it's not like the old days when the guy that works there just throws out a price off the top of his head. I went to one and they wanted $150 for a egr valve. a brand new one is $200. so there went your theory of affording parts from even a junkyard. try bitching to the parts industry that has a 500% markup on parts. but wait, I'm sure you are on their side because after all this is a free market....

I wish the government would just butt out of the economy and let it crumble into dust. I heart rush limbaugh (that's sarcasm to you idots)

michelin tires are over priced. even at $259 for a 2ct. you can get tires that are the same as their power one 2ct(not pilot power 2ct) for $259. and the power one is $400 a set.
