I put my new sprocket on today and decided since I was there to check everything around there. I noticed mud in the vents on the exhaust and got a wire brush to clean it. More and more kept coming out so I toke it all apart and was shocked at how much junk was in the disks. I took the wire brush and cleaned all the disks and it sounded just like it did when I first got it. The way it is built, you could lose lots of airflow from build up of mud and exhausts. I will now start cleaning mine every couple of rides to ensure no lose of performance. If I were you I would check yours to make sure its not getting pluged up!

 

Thanks for the heads up. The one on the wifes sounds different, never thought to check for crap up in there.

You also have to watch over tighting the alan screws, or you will smash the disks......I had a buddy do it.

 

save the hassle, take out the stop plate and runner WOT!!!!... he eh hhe hhheeee he eh
WHos with me HUH?

 

RAJ, I heard the same thing. Can you/should you use lock tite, say blue, to keep them from falling out?

I heard they may come out tight so people will put them back in tight thinking that's right and thus over tighten and crush. I think they are tight coming out cause of age and such? I may look at mine.

 

dont loctite then in, ul have trouble getting them out. I use never seize and just snug them up. Old one I broke about 5 off using the loctite thingm never broke one since, or lost one....

 

Oder the turn down tip fron Nicholas cycle, it has a deeper tone, and it will help the performance also.

 

RAJ, I looked for the turn down tip from Nicholas Cycle and couldn't find it on their site. Can you provide a link to it?
