whored out hte pipe and went 2 teeth down up from...

What does that mean?

not sure what whored out the pipe means exactly.  But the 2 teeth down up front means he went to a 14 tooth front sprocket which provides more torque.

Is that a job I should have a professional do? (getting a smaller sprocket)

Can I put enough torque on the axle nut by hand?

How much a new klotter pin cost, mines all rusty?

You could put your own smaller sprocket on, lots of other people here do it, search for their posts.

You can torque the axle nut enough by hand, it would be helpful to have a torque wrench to know if you got it tight enough though...

Cotter pins should be cheap... Check bike bandit...

whore out the pipe....


ummm

get on your knees behind you bike and look at the exhast tip...

you'll see there is an opening maybe 2.5 inches thats for looks then the REAL outlets is under an inch wide...

i took a drill to the gap between the two...

i have 8x 5/8's holes right there.

WAY louder and it breaths a bit better

and yes 2 teeth down...

what that is...

on a GS your stock sprockets are 16/39 (if im not mistaken)

my GS has 14/39 (two down in the front)

that changes my gear ratio quite a bit.... so i have ALOT more UMPF! off the line....

but at the cost of top speed and my MPG is slightly down...

though if i drive it nice i still get 45 or so

how hard is the sprocket change, you got instructions anywhere?

When doing a wheelie has your chain got any looser after?

FYI..

search is your freind!

to change the front is very easy...

on the left side of you engine to the back there is a small cover with one maybe 2 screws...

and THAT is mounted into another cover with maybe 10 bolts..

pop that cover off and theres the front...

i wrestles mine off with a needle nose but you can buy proper pliars for under 10$

i think they are called c clip pliars?

and the new sproket was all of 13$


as far as the chain

they always stretch

how much is depending on what brand/model it is

and how well you have your chain slacked

a poorly slacked chain will eat your sprokets or strech SUPER fast

i personally run an R+K "X" ring 520

i havnt had to adjust it since i put it on 4k miles ago...

and remember to lube your chain >_<

man your way to experienced for me to understand! lol

personally run an R+K "X" ring 520

what that mean?

What's up Cincy! 

I thought I would post these pics b/c I had the same problem you had. Your axle nut wasn't tight enough so it shifted everything forward bending the adjuster nut plate.  Just loosen the nut, remove (pry) the plate, and hammer it flat again. Then, align your wheel while the bike is on the side stand. Problem solved.

i gotta make a vid these things r so easy 2 wheelie i can almost do it for 2 block lenghts its awsome. not tryin 2 show off jus sayin

I wouldn't want to be any one of your clutches.   

I know. The GS wasn't built to wheelie. Yes you can wheelie anything if you know how but why? Your just going to f%$k it up

High powered sports bikes can power wheelie, at least your not f%$king your clutch up, Stunt riders use specialy adapted bikes so the rear axle cant slide forward with all the bike weight and torque on it. Also think of all the strain your putting on your chain...

Stunt bikes are built for stunting not street bikes, not even Gixxers or alike.

I just cant understand it, everytime you pop that wheel up your hugely increasing your chances of dumpnig the bike and thats going to be expensive.

Maybe its just me but i dont have money to burn fixing bent axles, bent chain adjusters, sprokets dragged out of alignment for the sake of getting the wheel 2 foot of the floor.

That is probably why I haven't wheelied yet. I'm scared to dump it.

You won't dump it if you take it easy. Out of all the bikes, mopeds, dirtbikes that I've owned i've never full-on done a balance wheelie. All of them are power wheelies done before the balance point.

THAT is when I KNOW I will dump it... once that balance point comes into play I get all ... uh... um... where... left?... right?... brake?... OH GOD!?!?!.... and F*CK... I'm dead.

NICE pictures,
Thats what happened!!

To Fix, did you use a toque wrench on the axle nut?

I want to do a little pop up wheelie again, but don't want to bend any metal!

I don't own a torque wrench so I just tightened it to what I thought would be about 50-60ft/lbs. As long as it is tighter than it was....your set.

once you relighted and tightened, did you do another wheelie?

Did every stay in place if u did another wheelie?

I haven't done any more wheelies...I don't want to damage the bike or myself. If it were meant to be wheelied, it would have more torque and a better rear control arm. It's not a stunt bike so I won't treat it like one.

These bikes can stunt fine with some mods that you'd make to any stunt bike. It's still a poor man's bike, but talent will tell.   

My pc died a sudden and unexpected death so I lost all my great bookmarks, but just do a search on YouTube and you'll see some fun stuff. Not that I would try any of this myself, I'm too old and beat up, 30 years ago I would have. I have a 14t front sprocket and my hubby can wheelie this bike easy, but he isn't really comfortable with it, he prefers dual sports and supermotos.
