  1. 5k miles to me is a summer. and that's about all guys get out of them. my driven sprocket lasted about 3 summers. 3 times the life I would guesstamate.
  2. reason #1 to never buy vortex sprockets. they wear out too fast.
  3. I think it's a 06 or a 07. I love it's brakes though. wow.
  4. all I know is my buddy's mazda 3 is kind of a pile. it's had several warranty fixes. the speed sensor steering thing went out like 2 times already. they can never fix it so they replace everything. lol and to me it sound like it has busted struts. hit a bump and it clunks in the front. but his is a auto with the stick shift thing. forget the name right now. autostick? I don't know...
  5. was thinking about getting one myself. I just don't like the mesh stuff in the chest of the latigo. but i like it's price. and going by the size chart it's the only damn suit made to fit normal AMERICAN people...shorter and fatter.
  6. he said they wouldn't replace it. to be honest it looks like someone took a torch to it to melt it. who knows.
  7. I know none of you read what I posted before. go look at your chains closely. the rollers are not sealed. they need lubed often. at least use wd-40 if you want to. at least it's something. but don't leave them without some kind of lube at all.
  8. I have a can of belray super clean that I've never used. I don't like it because it's white. I also have a can of maxima chain wax, maxima synthetic chain lube(clear). wax is less oily so it doesn't come off. and actually I watched a honda service video and they used hypoid gear oil to lube the chain. they said you need to get it in the rollers of the chain. and use a wax spray on the chain to help keep the lube in the rollers. if you ever look at your chain closely you will find that you can move the rollers side to side between the link plates. under those is where you need the lube the most. I've seen a chain lose several of those rollers. here's a picture of my buddy's DID ERV-2 chain that lost some due to lack of lubing it. the ink pen is pointing to one that is missing,
  9. is it more than this?, http://35motorsports.com/suspension-pricing.php
  10. they have a rep for broken welds too. here's the picture of the guy on the r6-forum.com pipe
  11. ped that's how this sort of thing works. if 4 out of 6 guys use a charger all winter regardless if all of them are replacing batteries every 2-3 years and the other 2 never has, they'll keep using a charger regardless.
  12. that's not even half of that video. it's twist of the wrist II dvd and it's 1 hr 40 min long.
  13. yup had mine done on my R6. you can buy the nitrogen charge kit and do it yourself too. motion pro makes it. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0072/ but it's cheaper to let someone do it.
  14. someone on the R6forum had a friend that had one and it actually melted. I have a pair of their rearsets and honestly they're not bad at all. and they came with a brake light switch bracket which no aftermarket sets usually do.
  15. all I know is all my buddies with a tender have stopped using them and their batteries have lasted significantly longer. I never have put my R6's battery on any kind of charger or tender. and it's the original battery with a 2002 date code on it. my experience might be unique. I for sure have no parasitic power drain. and I ride my bike a few times a month at least. except in winter. I often start it up for a half hour every month or two. it's a GS brand (yuasa) AGM. http://gsbattery.com/
  16. thumbs down for barnacle bills for me. didn't do anything I asked and missed a spot on the arm. and charged me $350 plus shipping.
  17. the battery still wont last much longer. once that process sets in it's like cancer. it comes from over charging. those little battery tenders will do it. if you don't believe me that they keep charging all the time and never shut off throw a multi meter on it and find out. all it does is go from a full charge to a trickle charge. they never shut off. and that will cook a battery and shorten it's life a lot. battery tenders are the biggest gimmick I can think of. best thing you can do for a battery is only charge it for a little while once a month. and don't keep it indoors where the temps are over 60. heat also drains a battery faster than the cold. yuasa recommends you charge a battery once a month if kept below 60 and 2 times a month if over 60. and if it's a AGM you don't need any chargers for it. they can last 15 months sitting without charging.
  18. I love netflix. it's hulu plus that can go suck it. pay for it and have to watch 6 commercials in a 30 min show? jesus christ.
  19. damn ped that was way too over the top. yikes.

  21. I bet he collects disability from the gov too. tell him to get up get those lazy legs working so he can pay back us tax payers.
  22. smith and wesson uses amsoil to lube it's guns during manufacturing.
