Good news: she’s a 16 on the counter. For easy highway cruising, do I go 17 or 18 / 40?

17t is stock
18t will gear it higher, lower cruising rpms.

Called a few local shops. No joy on a counter sprocket (except for the OEM unit for $86). Ordered another JT (17t vs 16t) from Bike Bandit for $21 delivered. I'm excited to move the mild vibes up a bit in the speed range and, maybe, put the speedo right. 530 chain pretty standard on these?

2015 at Washougal on my CRF250R. Good times.

Starvation Ridge (or Eddieville).

Miss those days.

I tried to wipe myself out so many times on my CR250, I think my wife breathed a sigh of relief when I got rid of it...

No sticky links. Scrub a dub…

She will come apart again when the 17t arrives. But I need her back in action.

Dayuum…

I don't understand the "Showcase Forums" folder. I was expecting "build threads" but it just says something about the thread being for general discussion?

Just a place to go and put in pictures and a write up of your bike, it's not an on-going thing as far as I've seen.

You are better to start a build thread and manage it yourself.

Got the wife up on the Busa for the first time. I was hopeful that the large (for a sport bike) passenger seat would be a good pillion. But the sport bike ergos obviously are a limitation for passenger comfort. I think we will enjoy some around town rides, but probably few day trips.

Covering for my Seattle co-worker (property insurance). 500 miles and six inspections yesterday. I'm toast...

I love my Subie...

Nothing but net...

 

[LC4CARL]

Caught up with this in '08. Way too subtle for me...

Does that swing are have some kind of secondary shaft to get the chain that far over?

Two of my magazine subscriptions have gone to on-line only. I hate this. I WORK on a computer all day. I want to hold a paper magazine in my hands!

Grrr...

Filled her up with 4 gallons of non-ethanol / 150 miles. Light did not come on / but I'm a coward. 37.5 mpg. It is what it is. If I wanted MPG I should have purchased a scooter? Maybe the 17t will get me to the magic 40 to the gallon.

Yep
Some have a jackshaft with a short chain.

The 17t Will improve the mpg.
Your rpm's will drop over 600rpm at the same speed.

Awesome. That will be very nice.

I don’t like that section either, kind of misleading.
