LOL I have no intentions of taking this little monster to the track
I just like to carve mountain roads... so stock may well be better for that
.... if I find I use it more on the freeway I will put the other sprockets on...
thanks for the tip....
One ride isn't really enough to justify changing it I admit, I was going by all my other bikes I've had in the past... problem is this isn't like any of those other bikes the closest would have been the 500 intercepter I had in Reno
and I didn't need to change gearing on it.
Crotch rockets are realy not my thing but they do corner better than other
types of machines .
I was adjusting the chain last night and discovered that the brake caliper was not in it's slot... so I pulled the axle out and fought it for almost an hour and finally got the caliper in the slot and the axle back in....
I knew something wasn't right when I hit the rear brake hard and I heard a clunk back there.... on my first ride.... something I missed on inspection !
....
My diodes are here ! time to get the turn signals fixed and the bike put back together !
later !
