You should try to find a route that is downhill all the way, and preferably with a tailwind :D

With that in mind, look at the size of THIS sprocket! I Bet this bike took off like a rocket :cool:

Very sorry to hear about this. I hope for the most speedy and pain free recovery possible for you. Thanks for posting your experience, even though it was bad. It will help to caution others to be more careful too. Whenever friends or family ask me about riding, I try to discourage them exactly...

Could be a browser issue. IE 10 on Win7 here. And occasionally from Android.

I figured out a much simpler and easier way. This seems to be a bug in the forum software. When creating a new message, I noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to insert a picture, and other times it did. The difference seems to be that if the message contains a QUOTE, it allows it. If...

This guy has the exact opposite problem. His rear brakes were hardly worn at all, but the front ones were toast. His mechanic is still looking for the problem :cool:

Well if the government says it, it has to be true.

Normally I would say you probably had your toe on the brake pedal or a caliper that doesn't retract like it should. But the mechanic should have checked for that. But since this is one of those fancy DCT models with the computer controlled integrated front and rear brakes, I wonder. Could a...

You might need a shorter chain too :cool: This will be interesting if it effects your MPG

Putting the DCT rear sprocket on the X would drop the teeth from 43 to 39. At 70MPH, this would reduce engine RPM from 3522 to 3194. I was unable to upload a file to the forum, but here is a link to mediafire download. Download Spreadsheet here

Honda did. The DCT model has 39 teeth on the rear sprocket, vs 43 on the X. The primary and secondary is different too. 1st and 2nd gear have higher ratios on the X, but 3-6 are identical with 6th being .837 overdrive. Page 131 in the owners manual. My calculations show the DCT going 1MPH...

I got tired of waiting so I called Rocky Mountain ATV/MC and now they are telling me they will finally have my last two items in stock on the 18th. Then they will ship to me, so I will be lucky if I have them on the 20th. I definitely would not have ordered from them if I had known this in...

That might be it! Cant find any pictures anywhere on google. Cant find the part number anywhere that isn't in Japanese. But it may be it. I guess somebody will have to order this and find out if it works :cool:

Before you believe yours will also lower by 1/2 inch like OCR's did, have a look at the load he has been carrying on his ;) And OCR, don't sell yourself short, fat and ugly. On the internet you can tell everyone you are a great looking dude with a 6-pack, and who's gonna know? :cool:

I have not yet installed them, But I ordered the Lust Racing links and have them sitting in the garage waiting for me to install them. I have several things I want to do all at once to the bike and was thinking of waiting for a rainy week. I decided to go with the Solid and not adjustable...
