#255992 rvrrunner (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 53 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Thanks for the info. This is a 2 owner bike and both owners were older with very little riding experience especially on heavy bikes. Last owner dumped it while crossing railroad tracks (at an angle). Scared him so he wanted a fast sell. I was riding a V-Star 650 and looking from a bigger bike when I found this one at a great price with really low miles. I looked it over closely and only found minor scratches on the turn lights and lower tail pipe. All rubber, chrome and paint look great. Engine sounds solid and bike rides great. Only time will tell. I did check for recalls before buying and found that this had not been fixed. That is where the bike is now; in the shop. As soon as its out I’ll post some pics.

A good friend of mine had been a Yami tech for years, told me which dealer to take it to... they did a great job. No issues whatsoever!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #256210 Late4Dinner (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Hey Rvrrunner, welcome to the Clinic. I'm going to open up an old debate "Who has the oldest Roadie" because the curiosity is killing me. Rvrrunner, what are the last 4 digits of your vin? I believe Jamie99roadstar has it so far with 0012. Anyway, I've contemplated the gearing change too. Does this change effect the speedometer/odometer?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #256230 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Late4Dinner wrote: Anyway, I've contemplated the gearing change too. Does this change effect the speedometer/odometer? yes it will as well as rpms. going down 1 tooth will increase rpm by a bit less than 200rpm's, 2 teeth, double it. your speedo will show a higher rate of speed than what you are actually doing and well as mileage will also turn quicker. There are boxes out there that will correct the speedo error, but you will need either someone with an accurate speedo to pace you, or use a gps unit. then you set the box switches to the percentage closest to what you are off. http://www.healtech-electronics.com/ this site has both, that is if this site is still in business, oop's, I see this is not in the states tho http://www.demonbikebits.com.au/contents/en-uk/d334.html   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #256251 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3208 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I switched from the 33 tooth to a 31 tooth and put a Speedo-Healer on. They have an on-line calculator and it got mine fixed close enough that it is more accurate than stock ever was. Stock is about 5% off. I'm now just a bit off. Calculator had me punch in an 11% differential, but driving past side-of-the-road radar sites, I can tell it should have been set for 12%, and would probably be right on.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #256273 Late4Dinner (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Thanks Erbman02 I'd never heard of that device before. Alright now let me get this straight; If I switch to a 32 or 31 I will have to use the 1700 belt right?? I agree with Eblack, the naked pulley setup would finish it off nicely.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/02/10 15:36 By Late4Dinner.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #256332 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I have an 03 with a 31t and I used the stock 1600 belt no problem...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #256335 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3208 Re:Drive Pulley (31T) 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I switched, kept the stock belt.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access.
