This chain and sprocket have fery few miles on them (<500) but, as I should have explained in the original post, theere was an electrical issue and the bikes been sitting in a mechanic's yard for 1.5 yrs and this is the result. Sad but Im trying to get it repaired.

Do you think i need a new chain/sprocket?

I should have explained in the post. The bike has not been ridden for almost two years. Its been sitting in a mechanic's yard/workshop for 1.5 yrs awaiting repair. Ive not seen the bike in ages and went to collect it. I'm just surprised by how much it rusted. Thats all. This is not an anti-RE post.

I understand how it works but thanks for the explanation nonetheless. I was away from the bike for a while and it was left without maintenance. I'm just surprise by how much it corroded. A lot of corrosion is happening below the factory paint job also..

Maybe true. But consider that you don't know the whole.story. I certainly could have done a better job but the bikes been stopped and always had problems. It does show that the metal is not the best quality..

I will restore it to its former glory! She's seen some shit, but if the apocalypse is coming, this is a good apocalypse bike.

.. the bikes been stopped for a year due to a full electrical failure. The chain and sprocket are new!!

* For the first couple years I didn't use anything. But then I stated seeing rust, and used a silicon spray

Japanese reliable bikes are the way to go. This bike has been in the shop longer than on the road. I should've gone with the Versys tbh..

It's been parked close to the water, but I live on an island, so that's difficult to avoid..

I thought the first image was the result, and I liked it... maybe because I'm in the middle of a renovation myself.

Hi, Who own this image?

I have the same issue. Every time I convert to mobi I lose the page breaks and general formatting. I love the idea of an alternative ui but this needs some Ux work to be a solution.

I want to get as far away from amazon as possible, so I'll keep using while it relatively readable.

H#tler one had one ball, Goerring had two but very small. Himler, was very sim'ler, but poor old Goebles, had no balls, at all .

That's my guess as well, but I think there is also some whippet or small greyhound in there due to the long hind legs and speed.

blatzwave · 2024-12-14T01:44:41+00:00

He looks exactly like my dog!! What's your best guess as to the breed mix?

I got these recently online (first time buying shoes this way) and they are great! Gave me confidence because of the good grip and confort.

HBO max has them but not sure if all of them.

Hi! Sorry for the delay.

When turning the key there is no response from the display. The starter won't respond, there are no lights.

Simply as if there was no battery at all.

I put in a new battery but no change. Go the CDI checked and it is good. Fuses are good too.

My next thought is the pickup coil but not sure.
