Heavyer (longer) is just easier to use, plus it helps with the vibes I have on my bike. Dave

I just got it 2 weeks ago, get the heavy version, you will love it. Dave

Bump, (hopeing Warchild chimes back in)

Ronnie & jimmie, witch battery is correct? Both links show a YTZ12S but have different positive post locations??? Dave

Guess I will find out when I take it all apart, so the RC51 is different afterall? lexxus, the reason I didn't ask about the VFR 98-up is that my Dennis Kirk catalog shows it as a 17t front, could be a typo in their catalog though. Warchild, did you ever get a chance to measure the spline thickness? Dave

Thank you, a 929 front will be ordered monday! Dave

Rockmeup, I'm sorry, I copied my notes backward and have edited that post. Warchild, any further diferences in the splined area? I have no problem ordering either the 929 or RC51 sprocket to test. I just want to do it soon so I can get riding again! Big thank you to ALL, very helpfull. Dave

Thanks all, so far: 929 dampened 954 non dampened RC51 dampened All have the same spline "shape" as the 'bird. Anything further Warchild? Dave

Hey all, I know that the sprocket isn't causing my original problem, I just don't want to add any more noise to it. I do have a couple of kinks in my chain so I'm going to change both. Warchild, it looks like you have all the answers we are looking for as you have both in front of you! U da man :grin: Anything more you can tell us about them? More specs? So far we know: 929 dampened 954 not dampened RC51 unknown Dave

99Birdman, the one Warchild is measuring he stated it was a 16t??? Did a 'Bird come with a 16t front at any time???? Guess we posted at the same time :wink: Dave

I just looked at a local guys 954, no damper on it! 51er, this guy also had one for a 1000 without a damper. I'm assuming they were stock as he geared them both down 1 but both bikes were purchased used. Yes that is the measurement warchild, what is it off of? Warchild, one more measurement please. Spline thickness as 99birdman took. Rockmeup's comments make a lot more sense to me now if the sprocket needs to slide on the shaft somewhat. I am looking for the dampened one so as to keep any vibrations at a minimum as I can't stand the buzzing I am getting at 3.5-4.5 allready, still havent figured that one out yet. 99Birdman, so 19mm is stock? Yes your statement makes sense as I am told the O.E. sprocket only goes on one way (530 stamping out) per shop manual. Thanks so far guys! Dave

rockmeup, I called Service Honda and they can order me one for $27 but other than that the guy I talked to had no clue about hub width or if it was dampened. (not Chris G) I guess I will order one and just find out for myself and report back to you all. Does anybody have a stock one they can measure? Dave

rockme, that is what I was looking for, a 16t O.E. rubber dampened sprocket. Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. The bikes listed came with a 16t stock and have the same basic part number for aftermarket sizing along with the 'Bird. Thanks Dave

Hey all, time to change the sprockets and chain. I would like to go to a 16t front but dont want to lose the rubber damper on the sprocket. According to the Dennis Kirk catalog the front sprocket for the following bikes are the same as the 'Bird: 929 00-01 954 02-03 RC51 00-04 996 98-04 Does anybody know if any of these have the rubber damper on them from the factory? Thanks Dave

I ran 132 rwhp bone stock in Sturgis, S.D. 3800 ft elevation. 17000 miles & original air filter. :sad: Who knows now, hopefully better. -Dave

Oops, guess I was to slow. Have fun! -Dave

Hey, there is another screw in the hole where the wire comes out. Look at the new shorter one to see the location. I had to take mine half way apart before I could see it, put it together the same way. Once you do it you will laugh at how easy it is :grin:

J Red, Thanks for the pics, now I know a little better what to look for when I reset mine! Northman, was your engine in your bike complete with fairings? How long did it take you to re-adjust your front shaft? Any tips for me? Talking to the stealer only makes me more worried about letting them touch it! -Dave

Damn Forrest, that is awsome! -Dave

Peter, what do U think about these: http://www.saeng.com/cutters.htm Lots of mounting options and awsome output. -Dave

Come on folks, anybody with PCII maps? I also want to know this info but with PCII as it can adjust timing and fuel. Thanks to u guys for the PC 3 info, gives us something to look forward to. :cool: My bike with just slip-ons sounds like it needs a tune up at idle. -Dave

Me too, polished for me. BTW, that brand of shield is that? Saeng lip on it? -Dave

Yea, I saw the article about them, not cheap and had to modify them to work. These are very cheap! I just don't know if they will work until I go measure them. -Dave

For those of us wanting to lower the pegs, here is an idea from that "other" board: http://www.suzukihayabusa.org/phpbb/viewto...pic.php?t=26913 I have no idea if these will work on our bikes but I am going to the local Buell dealer to do some measurements. Has anybody else tried this/these? -Dave
