Haha how come I have a hard time believing that  :rofl: Hopefully mine runs a lot better now that the compression is bumped up.  Got some new paddles since I was starting to rip the haulers so going to go test those and the new piston out this weekend.  Hope to see ya around!  :thumbs:

haha no way! I have 2 weeks of vacation and one of them is being spent @ St. Anthony!!  And i can't beat $210 for a week for room and board and be 4 miles from the dunes.  I don't think i will want to come home  :grin_nod:
For $210 a week I can't think of a good reason I haven't made it to St A's from Minnesota
 ???

St. Anthony is freakin' awesome.  I want to move to Idaho just to be close to there.  We were looking at every house that had a "For Sale" sign in front of it last time we were there. :lol:

Results today: 

MUCH better throttle response and she gets it pretty decent now just cruising around.  Front end comes up with the +4 if I want it to and I suck at wheelies.  LOL.

Cannot get out of the hole without breaking the chain though  :'( :'(  Did it TWICE.  DID 520 x-ring.  Has maybe 4 rides on it. I only had a link, no master link (lost the retaining clip on the first master link), after the first time so that's probably why it did it the second time  ::) 

I had it a little too tight (:cough: :cough: I think I remember someone saying that at their house.  I should have listened) and think that's what did it the first time.  Second time there was a good 1" slack but probably because of not having a master link in the chain.

Hope you didn't do any damage when it tossed the chain.  When I did the +2 swinger on my 660, I used an RK GXW chain with a rivet style link, kind of a pain, but very strong.  And once it's riveted it's not coming off.

Good to hear that the bike runs better with some added compression.  Enjoy St. Anthony!!
