Funny in 30 years of riding I have never had a sprocket bolt come loose. How are you tightening them? I tighten the nut from the back side with the box end of a long or double wrench for leverage. I usually use 2 wrenches..... slip a larger size box end over the open end........ it gives you more leverage.

I honestly thought 09 was going to be a boring Bubba runaway........Reed stepped up and gave the fight all the way to the end! Congrats to both riders for a great season of excitement.

Food for thought...........In my opinion they were both just as guilty as the other. Go back and watch it slowly. You will see Bubba veer Left into Reed when Reed was just inches ahead. Bubba even looked at Reed before turning into him. If Bubba had not wanted to make contact he should have just backed off and let Reed...
A lapper who was punted in the 1st turn by Rick Johnson set up the greatest race of all time as he blocked RJ till Bailey cought up.......just sayin there could be lots of road blocks by many different riders that could help Speedy Reedy. My prediction is Reed will go for broke (Vegas Baby!) and win and Bubba will...

He smacked my hand several times at Aquasco back in 82. I think it was Gary who told me.......if you dont crash every now and then your not trying hard enough. How old is Gary new? I would be willing to bet he is faster than 95% of us on this board! I saw a while ago that Gary is...

The 250 tank, seat swap was pretty easy as I recall him saying. He bought a new 500 every year and did it to all of them. He may have needed to make a bracket to mount the tank.

Nice find! I had a friend in MD that would bolt on the 250 seat, tank & schrouds to make the tank skinnier. Im in the process of running a batch of silicone radiator hoses for the CR500's.

What you are describing is not normal. if you have any friends that are auto mechanics there is a special tool (sort of like a turkey baster but not) that has a blue liquid in it that draws the air threw it from just above the radiator opening. If carbon monoxide is present the liquid turns to yellow and the...
