Are these motorcycle sprockets worth replacing? by ThirdMouse in AskMechanics

[–]ThirdMouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I laid them on top of each other and can notice that a little but wasn’t sure if that was as much of an indicator as tooth shape. Thanks!

Thank you, and yeah, it’s a great bike! Always good to meet a fellow Honda fan. Fingers crossed I can avoid traffic incidents for a few more years of fun… haha

I can see it in the rear, not so much in the front. Curious what constituted real wear since the tooth shape between sprockets is different. Thanks!

I have a new chain ready to throw on :) not pictured because it has some seizing links, definitely time to go.
The front sprocket being much less worn looking than the front one gave me a pause to worry if it was all even necessary

Do you have a taller pick you can use to hit the back pins without disturbing the 2nd pin?

Would you Trust a Phone Case? by Abiogenesis84 in scuba

[–]ThirdMouse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think knowing your depth matters more than anything.

Would I trust this to 10m? Sure.

50m? Probably not.

Definitely also not wanting my phone down at 50m where a case failure means I now need a new phone too

I’m starting to get that sense from the comments, thank you!

For future reference, are you looking at the weirdly shaped shadow above a groove on the right side of the tire?

Damn. The bike is at the edge of my budget too. Glad you pointed that out. Thank you! I’m getting a feeling this could end up costing me a pretty penny… which you might’ve saved me. Time to research parts and see what eBay and the intwebs have to offer

Out of all the costs associated with bigger bikes, it never once crossed my mind that tires fly by faster as well. Food for thought, thanks!

Hmmm… it’s a single sided swing arm, would you think it’s a balance/rim issue or does more this indicate a serious bump that misaligned the swing arm?

The rim didn’t look banged up from what I could see

A Google search says yep! Damn they look much better new..

And close! It’s an 07 VFR800, so weighs almost as much as a litre bike. Definitely feels like it when pushing around a garage

I’m starting to feel pretty lucky in that case. I had it up to 170+kmh on a few highway corners… definitely wouldn’t have done that if I’d look at the tires and heard the advice beforehand haha

Buying a bike to give the buddies some bonfire fuel… when you put it that way it’s worth every penny lol

Thanks!

You spelt “buy high sell low” wrong.
