I don't want to start a war, but IMO that's just throwing money away. I've never changed sprockets that often and usually get around 25,000 miles...
No offense, but I don't consider 15,000 miles a long lifespan. Double that is what I consider a long lifespan. If a chain is taken care of and...
Hmm, "looked brand new...half the teeth broke off..." . That really sounds like an oxymoron. Hardly a sign of a good sprocket, IMO anyway.
That's a really good price, I think I paid that much just for the chain last time I bought one.
What an asshole.
Personally I'd just make sure they're a steel sprocket, and I get mine from Sprocket Center too.
I had two of the RD350, and one RD400. Took some getting used to when coming from a four stroke though. And the gas mileage was for shit, but you...
I usually replace the sprockets with the second chain I put on. I try to keep my chain/sprockets well lubricated so they aren't worn too badly....
Yeah, since ring to cylinder wall is zero, as you said, I was assuming he was talking about making sure there was enough ring gap so it doesn't...
It's not really difficult, you push the ring down into the bore with the top of the piston, that way it's square in the bore. Now measure the...
^^^^Okay, now that's funny. A joke with a joke.
I'd have to agree, I've bought a couple things from Thurn and been happy every time.
Good price, haven't seen one at that price in several years. I've got one and my knees thank me.
I don't get it.
I don't care if its PhotoShop, that is so cool.
Don't forget Kawasaki made some stuff in the US for a while. Not really sure if it was bikes or PWC.
Hmm, does that mean the Europeans are also making bikes for people afraid of riding? I mean they offer ABS, Adaptive suspension, multi-level...
"LOL - I guess lane splitting is frowned upon at Costco?" With extreme prejudice I would bet. LOL
The 45-tooth sprocket gives quicker acceleration since it effectively lowers the gearing. My '99 OEM gearing made 1st gear ridiculously tall for a...
Sounds like a good combo to me. I use DID chain, but get sprockets from Sprocketcenter because I don't believe RK offers the 45-tooth steel sprocket.
