[If you should try to roll the bike with the disklock on, it can end very badly

I'm guilty of this, just rolling the bike slowly, though, so no damage. Kind of embarrasing, nevertheless.

Yup,.. I did too,.. really slow,.. then she stopped, and almost tipped over,... into the side of the truck.

On that note,.. I was also just using one of those padlocks you can buy from the hardware store, that has a slightly longer loop on it,... much cheaper than a disk lock, and probably just about as much of a visual deterent...

Put it on the rear rotor

When I use a disk lock I always put a rare earth magnet over the keyhole of the igintion. To remind myself that there's going to be a problem if I start trying to drive away. I haven't had a problem since...

I just got the disc lock reminder (yellow coiled cord) thingy....it was only $5. Yeah, I know I coulda made my own or picked something up at the dollar store, but I just ordered $600 worth of gear (jacket, pants etc..) so whats an extra $5?

If I want to change the sprockets/chain, do I have to drop the swingarm? Or is it OK to get a chain with a master link?

yes ok its not a 1000

Bartjan · « **Reply #96 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:40:54 PM »

also you dont have to drop the swingarm if you dont use a chain with masterlink

just cut the old one and put the new one on

GooseMan · « **Reply #97 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:52:08 PM »

yeah, I can cut the old one off...but how will you get the new one on? ;) (if its a one-peice endless chain)

Banditmax · « **Reply #98 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:06:18 PM »

They don't come endless they come with a rivitable link in them which you need to squeeze on.

GooseMan · « **Reply #99 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:15:29 PM »

ah..k...good! :D

here is a little trick of the day: After you cut the chain off dont take it off hook the new chain to the old chain with the rivit link and pull the new one through just saved yourself a half hour.

Bartjan · « **Reply #101 on:** May 01, 2007, 04:12:05 PM »

good trick

to bad it doesnt save half an hour but only 5 minutes

GooseMan · « **Reply #102 on:** May 01, 2007, 04:17:24 PM »

So your saying you take the shifter off the shaft loosen all the bolts to the cover slide your chain through bolt it all back up and tighten the shifter down in five minutes! Hold on i got a phone call! Hey your not going to believe it , I have Rizzla Suzuki on the phone and they are trying to get a hold of you. I forwarded them your contact info and they should be contacting you shortly.

Maybe the Rizzla pit team should quit using their sponser's product.
