A 16t sprocket is next on the list. I'm suppose to be getting my Suzuki sissybar today I ordered hopefully I'll get it on tommorow sometime. :2tup:

Re: Gear Shifting
Makes sense. Thanks guys, I will try to be more careful in first gear. =)

I was joking with my friend that she takes curves wider than I do, and she said "no way that will make a difference!" but it seems like it does. Again, my favorite phrase - ya'll are so smart!

Which specific carb cleaner additives can you guys recommend? Is Techron Concentrate OK to use? I use it in my cars sometimes.
