Alright, just finished tightening everything back up after removing one link from the chain. Got me back up to the third adjuster mark. Might get another 1-2 thousand from this chain. I’m happy.
For sure; what I was saying is that when it IS time for a new chain, I’m going to go for a quality one that hopefully won’t stretch as fast, and I’ll use these nice new sprockets with it.That’s good Thaddeus but I sure wouldn’t use that chain with new sprockets or a new chain with the old sprockets.
Anyhow, you’re back up and running - enjoy!

Yes, this spring weather has me down. It’s too cold as well. I thought last year was bad, but this spring has been a drag.
If any moisture or air were present in the caliper the heat could have easily expand either of those and contributed to the brake being applied.No; the front brake is locked up. Apparently the fluid warmed up,
When I re installed my sidestand after repaint, I found the easiest way to install the spring was to hook the spring around the stud on the locating washer, and start screwing it in, then crank the little locator washer to it’s proper orientation and just keep tightening.Spent almost an hour fitting a new sidestand spring. Felt pretty stupid when I finally tried with the stand fully up........Somehow I thought the tension in the fully down position was the same. Also tried comparing the angle of OEM BS38 intake rubbers with aftermarket (JBM?) BS34 rubbers. Not as easyas you would think, that....
What I found was the easiest way to install a centre-stand spring was to do it first and then align one pivot with a tapered rod, reef the other pivot intoWhen I re installed my sidestand after repaint, I found the easiest way to install the spring was to hook the spring around the stud on the locating washer, and start screwing it in, then crank the little locator washer to it’s proper orientation and just keep tightening.
