Two Broken Teeth

[Anonymous]

So I put my new rear sprocket on the 1100 today. You think the old one was a little worn? Two broken teeth.

Hope you replaced the front sprocket & chain too!

man! you got your moneys worth out of that sprocket, it is beyond toast!!!

ditto what Lynn said!
you did replace the front sprocket and chain didn't you?

Did you change the gearing ?? My book lists a 15/42 sprocket combo
not a 45

I'm doing the 530 conversion, so I got a 45T and a 16T in 530. I guess the 42/15 set is tougher to find and it gets the same job done. And yes, I got a new 530 o-ring 9100 tensile chain.

New tires too.

I've never seen a sprocket on a bike in that bad a condition. Jeez! Scary.

If you've got teeth in the rear, I don't want to know about it. 8O 8O

I kept up the chain tension and I ran the chain according to what it said in the manual, where the mark on the drive chain adjuster passes the mark on the guage. It's my first time going through a drive system replacement, so I'm just going by what the book says. But I figured it must be time to do some maintenance when it would catch and jerk as I rolled the bike backwards.

I hope the carbs aren't too carped up from failing to store it properly. I may have to go through the carb clean series, but that's OK. Probably needed it anyway.

No, I'm gonna let the tailpipe be. I don't have anything near the time and money it would take to get the bike into ideal shape, so I'm going to mind the practical and functional parts, and take it easy on the aesthetics. I actually did have the baffle bolted in last year, but the dang thing always manages to rattle loose. I just quit messing with it. When it gets rusted out I'll start to think about replacing it.

Yessir, I think it's a-comin! I think we should shoot for about five weekends this season, spread from April or May to October.

I'm gonna go start a thread right now. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...c.php?p=316042
