should i do a nice little burnout right after install to melt off that gel-coating crap?

i'm not talking some stunnerrific burnout, but a quick 2 second scuff?

No not necessary at all, the only thing you have to worry about is taking corners for the first 50-100 miles to scuff the sides, no need to scuff the middle of the tire with a burnout, just riding it down the street a few miles is good enough.

haven't you worn in a new tire yet? like i don't know, when your bike was new :lol:

 

[usdm420]

true......ski, would this be a good time to go up a few teeth in the rear, or down one in front?

 

[moto182003]

go down one in the front.

ok i gotta ask, when you say go down in teeth I take it you referring to the sprocket, does this mean a new sprocket or is it more of an adjustment. i have an understanding, to an extent, of what the change does but wasn't sure about how it's done.

 

[skibum91]

Yes, replacing one sprocket with a sprocket of another size, Down in the front and up in the rear =more low end. Up in the front, down in the rear =more top end.

after market "teeth" are no longer called "teeth" their called "dentures"
