I did run into one problem.  The sprocket Bike Bandit sent me was the wrong one.  They sent me a JTF-512.14.  That is the sprocket for the newer GS500s like my wife's 2007.  I am not sure what the JT# for the 1994 version is but it is in the other thread about 14 tooth sprockets.  I wanted it on my bike today so I ground it down enough to fit.  The only difference is there is about a 1mm of extra metal on the face of the gear.  I ground that down and it fit fine.  I called Bike Bandit before I ordered to make sure I had the right part but they still messed up.  That was the first and last time I order from them.

IIRC the one you need is the one WIHTOUT teh shim/ledge on it

I heard if you put a teaspoon of your own blood in the carburetors, your bike will gain 15hp. True story. You gain 25hp if it's someone else's blood.

You forgot to mention soaking the air filter in your own blood, your bike will gain 15hp. True story. You gain 25hp if it's someone else's blood.

and make a donationto the site, the postmadam will send you a set of gstwin.com decals, and you gain +40hp[/jk] btw i had 2 94's, one of which NEEDED the flange, one of which did not  , then againive had some weird shaZam! happening to me as of late so idk lol

That is correct for my 1994.  Not sure about other years.  The newer ones have the "ledge" on the face which is about 1/8" thick.  I had to grind that down with a 6" bench grinder in 95 degree heat in my brother's garage.  I could have waited and sent the old sprocket back and got the right one but Bike Bandit took FOUR days just to ship my order and then it took another 5 days to get to me!  On top of that, they screwed up my order.  I am going to call them today and see WTF was up with that. 

Spoke with Bike Bandit via the online help thing.  They admitted that they have the wrong part number and they messed up sending me the wrong one.  They are sending me the right part.  I told them I didn't need it as I ground down the metal ledge myself and installed it.  They insisted because they think I should have the right part.

So, when it gets here, I will have any extra 14 tooth sprocket.  If anyone wants it, $20.00 shipped and it is all yours.  It is a great mod and is the best $20 I have ever spent on a bike.  Just makes it feel tighter and in the right gear all the time.  No more bogging down in second gear as you take a slow corner.  When you give it some gas in 6th, it actually responds instead of just lagging.

dont you think 20 shipped is a bit much seeing that your actually getting it for free and its not 20 bucks new?

Yeah, I bought mine at the dealer $17.87 Ordered on a Saturday they had it on Wednesday!

Not really.  It is $16.06 plus $5.95 shipping from Bike Bandit.  You still save money and don't have to mess with trying to find the right part number and order the wrong part.  It is quick and easy, if all you need is the front sprocket and want to do the mod, send me an e-mail and I will send you the sprocket. 

Considering that Bike Bandit screwed me over, I deserve to sell the part.  They should have refunded my money but since they didn't, I am selling the sprocket to get my money back.

I was going to ship it via USPS Priority the day I got the money.  I waited 8 days to get my sprocket but you can have this sprocket in 2-3 days and be sure it is the right one.  Sounds like a great deal to me.
If you want to save a few bucks, I will ship it via 1st class and it will only be $17

Hey Joshr08,
I just noticed that you have made two stupid comments in my thread.  I also noticed that someone tried to defend you but but you just proved them wrong. 

Looks like you really are a tard.  I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but now I see you are a trouble maker.  Not sure what your deal is but you are a nobody who knows nothing.  You don't impress anyone.  Feel free to never respond to my threads in the future because I can't imagine you have anything worth reading to post.  Just go play some video games and let the adults talk for a while.

I demand, Sir, that you keep your tone more civil before our newly self appointed etiquette Gestapo demands your immediate ban.

Other, better behaved people, will decide for you whether 20 bucks is too much money.

if anyone see's fit to ban me then do it dont toy with the idea. have a good day.

Bye.

+1 on Josh 08 being an asshat.  If you don't know what you're talking about, don't pretend.....

im just glad to see we can call people names like we are in the 3rd grade.
