It's not the "surfaces" that wears the chain it's the distance between the teeth. Reversing the sprocket will not change that. Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://s1.zetaboards.com/arrowhead

I agree, when the rear is shot, I will replace all three - front, chain and rear. But at this point, 20 bucks for a front and flipping the rear may entice the chain to think it is running on brand new surfaces, (it is) and thus maximizes its life as well. (assuming a systematic approach to cleanin and lubing) but hey, we won't go there for now. Then when the rear is shot, and the chain stretched, I will gladly replace all three regardless of the appearance of the front (which it is likely it will look much like the one I have now) sorry if I have thought about this one too hard. hey - you want to hear about my synthetic oil change?? thanks for not boycotting my posts - could give me a complex or something, perhaps even drive me to purchase a harley, or worse yet, an Ipod. happy spring, ride hard, ride safe. todd in (thawing) Chaska MN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

city lights ?

Post by David Giuliani » Wed Mar 12, 2008 3:18 pm

I was about to hook up my new Zumo and figured the unused city lights connector would work fine. Before splicing I checked for voltage. Nothing...not even with the key on. Have I got the right wires? There are three wires attached to the loose connector: black/yellow, red/blue, and light blue. I tried each wire with my voltmeter grounded to the frame, thinking one would be hot and another grounded. Got any clues for me? Thanks, Dave
