only took 20 min and back on the road (well would have been if not raining)...went down the street once and back on the garage

let ya'll know once see the sun again how it is...oh yeah, took photos so if ever need em, I have em

what do you guys think about a new section within 600RR...it could be a tech section...any time one of us does a mod, repair, maintenace....we photo every step with directions and have a permanent link here...no really a forum post but just reference

thinking about doing a slip in 1 month and would love to see soemone else do it first

thanks

It's already there : 600 Modifications. Hope you like the 14 tooth -- just be aware that it will eat your chain quicker than stock because it's so small. As long as you keep it clean and proper slack there's no worries. Should be a torquey little beastie now

Nice CJ... I like what I've seen from my -1 so far, but still... cold and wet here as well. I hope we don't have to wait until spring, I'll never remember what the 15 was like. My MPG hasn't suffered much. Let me know how your -2 does.

WE HAVE SUN!!!!!!!! And the roads are dry! Just tried out the -2....very, very torquey...like it. Actually use 3rd now....not just 1, 2, 6. And left in 6th around town...could pull from there.

I'd like to hear how you MPG are now. I wouldn't think it would be that bad with -2 since I didn't see much of a change with -1. How is your chain? Do you have much adjustment left? The added wheelbase didn't bother you at all? If I drop down to 14... I will be looking into removing a link or two.

Your top end will be about 14% less. If you don't already have one a speedo healer will make your speedo read correctly.
