  1. Thats looks good but once again a pipe wrench works great just to break the seal, one of these days I might buy the channels
  2. My first guess would be that the brake caliper is the problem. Everything needs to be square and the pads pushed back into the calipers. If the wheel is tilted at all you will have the problem you are describing.
  3. I just use the marks but then check how the chain rides on the sprocket. If to one side I just tweak untill the teeth ride in the center of the chain. Close enough for me. Granted this does nothing for wheel to wheel alignment..
  4. Tim will help ya You know we love ya Tim
  5. Steve you have a grinder or dremel? If not come on over we will grind the old one off installl the master clip to get it to the local shop shop and for 20 bucks they will install the permanent one.

  10. I'm Jeff,Gary lives in Salinas, just did not want to confuse anyone here
  11. Yes and yes, use back brake to help hold from rotating with a long breaker bar on the sprocket bolt. Learning by trial and error is so much fun
  12. I asked a buddy of mine who lives in Salinas about this shop,here is his reply- Hum, I guess you could say that since theyre the closest shop to me and located in Salinas. I still consider Mike & Jan Valencia, the owners my friends. Ive went to and ridden several endures with Jan. He got divorced about the same time I did 25 years ago and we did a lot of partying together. Actually in the past Ive purchased a Honda Interceptor, a CR480, a CR500 and an XR250 from them. Thats when they were still into the motorcycle scene. (It was a good trade off because I sold Jans house for him and he purchased one from me. When I decided I wanted a 929 I went in to purchase one from them.) They didnt have one, said they couldnt order anymore and wouldnt even make a few calls to try and find one. Needless to say I havent went back to purchase anything from them. Ill drive to Seaside if I only need a quart of oil. Its kind of funny now every time I get a new bike and bump into Mike or Jan they cant help but mention oh I see you have a new Honda 929/954 etc. They dont know about the seven other sales they lost from my son and friends that have purchased new bikes from Powersports from my recommendation. So I went over to Powersports in Seaside, they didnt have any either but said if I wanted one they would find one for me. They ask what color I preferred, I told them yellow/black but would take any color they could find. A few days later the called and said they found a red/black one in the bay area I said great and they drove up and picked it up. When they got it back to the shop the salesman made 18 calls to other dealers looking for someone that had a yellow/black one and would be willing to trade for the red/black one. The 18th call did the trick and they drove to San Jose to make the trade. They didnt charge any extra for all of the driving they had to do to get them either. Now thats what I call service. Its been like that every since then, no matter what theyll bend over backwards to make you happy. Mason the owner of Powersports is responsible for my free track day at Thunderhill a few weeks ago. It was for shop personnel only and I jokingly ask how do I become an employ for a day. A few hours the phone rang and he said, How Would You Like To Be An Employee For A Day, very cool. Powersports will continue to get my business as long as they keep treating me the way they have in the past. Gary
  13. Got any pics? soaking wet will work

  15. Did you give him your dot# or did he even ask? Mayby they have ended the replacement policy. He told me 4k is not right. MMmmm
  16. I had to ship the old one back. JS
  17. Cal and I among others had got hold of a bad batch,you sure you don't have one of those? Thats about the milage we got out of the first one,our replacement seems to be wearing alot better. JS
  18. Correct me if I'm wrong but see no reason to replace,alittle locktight and torque to spec is all I ever do.

  20. There is another way that I have used once on a buddys 1200 Triumph .There is a master link that uses bolts that center punches the pins as you screw them down then you snap off the excess. That was three years ago without any problems. Don't know the brand but it came from afram.
  21. Seems like alot of trouble to go through to save 10 seconds which is how long it takes me to stop and open my tank bag and push the button :???:
