Yeah but what about tire alignment? Any hints? Or just replace the chain / sprockets myself and then take the bike to have the tires changed (sneaking in an alignment while doing something I need anyways)? The rear tire is fine but the front is low and has been sitting on that low for a year +

 

lol been looking for a kit and haven't found anything under 160. Must be unlucky atm

 

Ok so where to start? Here is my answer so far:

1. Progressive liability insurance: $205
2. Larin MAL-2 motorcycle jack: $169
3. Chain & F/R sprockets: $135
4. Rear L/R turn signals (wouldn't pass inspection as is): $30.83
5. Chain breaker / Rivet tool: $99.71
6. Driving record check (Penndot): $5.00
7. Rear linkage: $8.54

Don't need more than liability as I have full health insurance already. I need the jack as I plan this as a long term hobby so its an investment. Yall saw the chain in another thread so it HAS to go (sprockets go with any chain replacement). Both turn signals are f'ed up (they work but are hanging on by electrical tape). And the bike has to be raised. The PO was about 5'3" and I'm 5'11".

 

Non chlorinated brake cleaner on the front brake rotors,simple green the rest of the front end.

All the advice in this thread has been spot-on.

idodirt,good on ya.
