I love the sense of ackomplishment when I'm done.

We don't agree on much, Chris, but you are spot on here. It's why I enjoy mechanical things over people. A mechanical item can always be fixed with patience, know how, hard work, etc. Good job bro!!!

We agree sometimes Tigger. At least as much as I do with most here.

You know you're all ok in my book. Thought we established this a while ago.

Gas i wish you lived closer. It would be awesome to have you help me learn about the mechanics of SV. Or just mechanics in general.

Everything that you really need to know

Heavier? At the common weight of those bikes would it really matter?

Gas Man · 11-21-2009, 05:57 PM

no its usually lighter. Plus you have less rotational mass because the belt weights almost nothing. The chain is a double chain and weights a crap load. I guess there may be less drive train power loss due to this but nothing I have saw in factual print.

Plus no fluid. I know my primary holds a full quart. Don't know how much those big mothers are slurpin.

Yep, just a qrt. In a primary there is no need for more. The chain and clutch just have to pass thru it and fling it all around.
