And a little special story/THANK YOU to go with it....
Since this is my first and only SSSA bike, I don't have the right stand or big ass sockets for the two nuts on either side of the rear wheel yet. Our very own John drove clear across town to bring me his stand and 41mm socket to get this apart!!!
Once we started working on this, we discovered the front sprocket was completely trashed. I can't remember if I mentioned in another thread, but my chain went waaaaay south. It definately took the sprockets with it. (yes, I know, I should have planned on that to begin with). So I told John, let's run out to MotoWheels and grab a front sprocket right quick. He said screw that, I've got a brand new one still in the box at home, you can have it just to get it out of my cabinet!! He was even going to go back and get it for me!! AMAZING. Didn't let him do that though. So I drove over to pick it up which gave me the opportunity to google over the R for a little bit.
THANK YOU John for he help and support. You guys that don't live in & around Sac are missing out!!
