"We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Any One". There is nothing that pisses me off more than a "Know It All" customer who thinks I am there just to spend hours out of my day to find their obsolete, discontinued part for the cheapest price I can find it, just to have them scoff at the price. And right now I feel very Cheap and used. First you said you couldn't find a rotor in stock any where and then when I gave you a suggestion on something that would work, you then say you can't find all the other parts, so I spend time searching the net, and calling arround for the spark plug wires, Spark Plug caps, and even the spark plugs. then you have the nerve to tell me you already knew this and just like to piss off Parts Clerks... Man bad move... |

stator petcock: Ron Ayers has them in stock plug wires: Carquest has bulk wire, caps, and all the pieces needed to build the set all gaskets Manila folder for cork based gaskets, head gasket make out of Copper gasket material, Exhaust gasket go to Harley, O-Rings can be found at Lows, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware (along with any bearing and seal house) r/r: Any three Phase 5 or 6 pin R/R will work, would recomend finding a Unit off of a Late model Yamaha R1 so you can go with a MOSFET type tires Any motorcycle dealership,MC parts house, even spark plugs Advanced Autoparts, Napa (next day, but that is because they don't stock Iridium plugs), Car Quest (same as NAPA) i actually started calling them just to mess with them and get prices on things i dont even need and they never have anything in stock at all it is rediculous |

i personally love the look of the two rotors up front but what i want to know is how the damn stealership gets away with chaging 350 bucks for one you would figure the price for parts on thes 750's would be lower since the thing was made practically unchanged for 20 frickin years and yet they still dont have anything in stock wtf

| CW-4 | When you tighten to a sung fit and then apply the brake, the axle will shift to center of pressure caused by the brake shoes. This allows both shoes to have equal pressure and provide your best braking. If not centered you are only getting max pressure on one shoe. Best that I can explain it. But I could be wrong. |

I too have a weak rear brake. The markings show that the brake shoes should be quite new. I found this in the manual but I do not really understand what it is all about:

Sorry for the double posting , but I did want to mention that because of the bike having shaft drive...ACCT's and hydraulic adjusting litters one gets the idea they wanted a bike that was fairly maintenance free. One aspect Jerry didn't touch on is the brake pads on his one disc bike will wear out twice as fast as a duel brake setup. That may have been another possible reason they used two discs up front too.... |
