Just got my DS back together after 4 weeks. It needed new axle bearings which were on backorder. I never ever even checked them before so it was kinda my fault they got bad I guess. In my manual it says every 100 hours to check them. It's an 01 DS & I never had yet. With that said, what else over the long haul tends to need repaired? The bearings were the first "repair" ever. I'm hoping that a 4 year old quad doesn't start to nickle & dime me. Anything else to look for?
Here's to another 4 repairless years [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

two words....chain roller.

 

Also Front Shock bushings...uppers and lowers. Mine to is an 01 and just had to do mine about 3 months back. But I ride year round. Almost every weekend.

 

I got a new chain roller just this year, thing is my original was still good. Better safe than sorry...
I have replaced the boot connecting the carb to the intake once too. It cracks over time. My shock mounts still look good, I really don't ride that often anymore. Never get time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I AM IN THE NAVY AND LIVE IN VA BUT AM FROM AKRON . WHERE ARE YOU FROM IN OHIO. I WILL BE HOME ON LEAVE THIS WINTER AND AM PLANNING ON RIDING. BY THE WAY DID THAT SUCK YESTERDAY OR WHAT. BUCKEYES BRAKE MY HEART SOMETIMES. ALL I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO NOW IS A MICHIGAN WIN...... I HOPE, NOT THE WAY THEY PLAYED THE LAST TWO GAMES THOUGH.

In Tressel we trust, right?

I still believe they can take scUM & win a bowl game. Losing 14 guys in the draft hurts no doubt. To dUMb's credit their new QB looks great. However Carr is not as smart as Tressel & will get outcoached. Wether or not tOSU's O-line shows up is another matter.

What do you think of Pittman? I don't know why we aren't playing him more than Ross.

This may be Purdues year...

 

You Buckeyes...

Looking at the Michigan vs. Ohio State record from day one, nuff said... I believe Tressel is a good coach, probably better then Carr. Would you say Tressel was outcoached the past two weeks? Okay then.

Now, to keep DS in this thread. The DS rocks!

 

I don't believe Tressel was outcoached. I think they players don't execute & the O-line is realbad. scUM record is better yeas, if you count games from 1900. Like how scUM does when counting all times wins against alumni & high school teams !!!!!!
Last 50 years the series is almost tied & that's counting Coopers years. When was the last time scUM won a concensus NC ? 1948[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Yes the DS does rock, just like tOSU.

 

i had to replace the axle bearings a few months back myself probably just a regular thing there.
