For me, I try to keep the OEM aspect ratio. My Kosman wheels and tires drop the front a little more than the rear.

Didn't mean to jump your post.

Keep in mind trans. parts also get in the oil. Those rolling burnouts always made me smile, but slight wear of the gear dogs happens. It happens anyway even if not on the throttle.

Sorry to hear this. A good Vmax friend has left us. RIP Ed.

I'm thinking of Tim right now, AKA Cop Runner! More than one Police cruiser has seen the rear fender of that Vmax.

I'm still learning how to shift then.

+1 FM, When someone wants to street race, pick a roll on up to 100 mph or so. We'll do fine against almost anyone.

Still silicone the wires around the gromet. It's a notorious leak spot.

Useful site MM, tks for posting it.

Wheel/tire height is something to consider when matching shock length, especially for custom wheels. Imho.

Torx, that's my first attempt, after the Allen socket and hand impact. Heat is your friend, right from the beginning. Loctite I wouldn't be inclined to use on Rotor bolts. I've never seen a loose one.

A used second spring is recommended. You'll notice a difference in the effort needed to pull the clutch lever in, but your clutch won't slip.

Yep, dress for the ride and the slide. I'm glad it wasn't worse my Brother. God speed recovery. It sucks big loosing my riding partner before the season even started, but more importantly your ok.

Glad you found the issue. Upgrading the segment is a worthwhile upgrade for early gen 1's. Somewhere in the 90's the factory did it for you.

Liking the Dino oil, for the transmission especially. Rotella 15w-40 is popular here. Synthetic can cause slipping clutch issues. I'd ride it as is until you have to service it. Later model gears and, like mentioned, later segment are the way to go. The segment is a quick install.
