Chain is almost brand new, only a handful of rides on it last fall. Any chance I killed the chain by running it on a worn sprocket?

 

ordered two pirelli sport demons yesterday
110/70/17
150/70/17
Looks like that will cause it to be about 12 mm lower on the front then stock but I am hoping it will be fine.

 

isnt the rear tire suppose to be a 140/70/17?

 

technically stock is 130/80 but a 140/70 or 150/70 will also fit.

 

Have been doing lots, and lots, and lots of cleaning the past couple days trying to get the 20 odd year old grime off the frame/components (mainly near the chain).



I have taken a few pictures of my old tires to show how pour of condition they where in.




Lots of side tread left....


This is my rear disc after removing it I noticed all the hairline fractures, I counted 8 of them. (ordered a new disk)



Cleaned the wheels up as best I could (prob could use some paint along with the swing arm, will have to wait until another year)


Check out this treasure I found at Canadian Tire in the stereo section hidden away covered in dust on sale for 2$, that's right 25 times cheaper than regular sales price, and its a full color hard cover!

 

New seals on the way so off with the forks!

 

very nice progress!

 

New tires came in the other day!
What a pain it was to put the rear on, makes me wish I bought a 140.

 

Sorry for the hiatus, I was in camp for a few weeks.

Here is the latest from when I got home.

My seals came in so I decided to tear the forks apart and give them a good cleaning, new seals and new oil.



Here is the old oil, as you can tell very dirty. I also had a 40 cm oil level in the right leg, it is supposed to be 12 cm. If you have not serviced your forks lately I highly recommend it. I also noticed my anti dive piston was seized which I was able to clean up and get it working again.

Here it is after cleaning, had to lightly sand the spacer with 1000 grit to get some burs off of the metal.

 

Threw the fork and wheels on, not excited to start on the plastics.
