Removed the chain guard, thoroughly cleaned it and the chain, didn’t need adjusting. Mileage is 64,552 and I’ve had it since 2/04/06. The rest of the bike was already detailed after my last ride. It’s nearly 100 outside and will be for the next week or so. Bike’s gonna sit for awhile.
Lol it was bloody hot in the garage, man how do I delete that! Ha haAhhhhhhhhh!!!!! My eyes!!!! Put on a shirt man!
My thoughts exactlyAhhhhhhhhh!!!!! My eyes!!!! Put on a shirt man!
Im at 20,000 and just changed my chain and sprockets and thought I had the wrong front sprocket when I pulled the giant oem one off. Have to say bike does roll a little easier in the garage with the new chain even tho the oem showed very little wear it was obviously time to change it.
I was definitely a little confused fir a second
with all the talk on lightening up the drive on these things I figured someone would have posted to get rid of that big thing a long time ago. Only thing I didn't like was I ordered the red zvx3 chain and didn't realize it was gonna be the metallic red but still looks good with the black vortex rear sprocket and the 2 extra teeth in the back make it feel even better then before. I'll have to get some pics posted tomorrow since I forgot ti take em when I was changing it.

I looked at the vortex as well but after putting their 525 chain on my cousins 600 gsxr didn't have really have high hopes on the chain so I used the zvx3 and the vortex sprockets.
Get yourself a manual, you'll avoid rookie mistakes like that one
Very nice . . but why two when they're both near new and both Gen 2's?
I bought the black one first before seeing the grey. When I saw the grey I wanted it but could not get a good deal on trading my black 19 for it so I traded my FJR.
I think with the two I'd turn one (black one) into a long distance rider like a ram jam replica and leave the other one stock looking and just do a few little things like an exhaust and dyno tune.
