Reddit reviews "Sunstar Steel Front Sprocket - 16T

You buying used or new?

Change the oil frequently (I do around 1K miles), and if you ride it fast, check the oil frequently. I like to check the oil at the end of the day any time I ride for more than an hour. I do this for my sanity, as checking the oil is annoying as the bike needs to be ridden a bit before an accurate measure can be taken. Also note how much oil goes in (2L) and measure how much oil comes out when you change it, also for sanity.

The petcocks love to fail on these, and when they do you'll get intermittent starting issues, and gas in your oil (very not good). I replaced mine with a Yamaha petcock (5LP245000100). It is manual so remembering to switch on and off every time is an adjustment.

You can get a bigger gas tank for 250 bucks. I like the IMS 4 gallon tank. I can go 150+ miles on a tank.

Seat concepts makes a nice comfy seat.

Many folks say you NEED a manual cam chain adjuster. Others say you are fine with the stock one. I say you are fine with the stock one, it was updated at some point.

My bike came with a full MRD SSW Pipe, 3X3, and a Jet kit on the stock carb. It was very much faster than stock.

Then I put stage 2 hot cams in and it woke up even more. When I put these on, that is when I first started to notice how much fun it is to rip on the throttle to pull through corners. Not sure if it was the mod, or maybe I just got more used to the bike at this point.

Then I put a Pumper Carb on and it woke up even more again. Though fuel economy dropped from 60+ mpg to ~40 mpg.

Now I am looking at big bore kits....

I put a 16 tooth sprocket on the front. I had to grind the case saver a bit for it to fit, and it took some cramming to get it in past the swing arm slider. Going taller is nice for freeway. I did also add 1 tooth to the rear so it was less of a change.

I dropped in a brighter headlight too. I ride a lot at night. It made a bit of difference.
