I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Noise, vibrations, look at the sprocket teeth for wear, hooked teeth, or wider distance between teeth, check if the chain slack gets tighter/looser as it goes around slowly on the centerstand, look for kinks and binds, is the chain adjustment used up?
Pull the rear of the chain away from the sprocket 1/2 way around the rear, does it come away from the sprocket more than about 1/8" or so?
Any of these get new chain and both sprockets.

The good part about changing is the variety of chains available. Prices and brands are far better than with the rare 630. Tensile strength of affordable chains are similar to 630s, but weight is a bit less (not noticeable on a 550 pound bike, btw). But you have so many more to choose from, plus it is an excellent time to make an adjustment on your final drive ratio.

Recomendations?
Recomendations?
So, along with the fact that I have gearing options, and not being changed just for the sake of changing, but out of necessary maintenance: Let me have it!!
