It is the cam follower, and it's chewed up my cam gear, and almost certainly the crank gear. I would guess the time I was accelerating hard, climbing the hill, and thought the chain skipped a...

I think I have had a roller cam follower come apart.

I have ran the wheels off my Hawk every since I got it, but especially after warning the motor up. I have put about 2,500 miles on it since doing the motor some months ago. It's performed great,...

Dan , . Would you happen to know if a 120/80-18 is larger, or smaller diameter than a 4.60x18. They have Dunlop D605 in both sizes.

I had the 110/100-18 stock knobby on my Hawk, and replaced it with a Dunlop D605 in 4.60x18, and while I didn't measure, the width seems about the same width wise, but there was noticable difference...

I don't know about an arrow on them, but they are directional. Each row of tread is a V shape. They are in the right direction though.

I thought the preload may have something to do with the front wearing out before the rear. The front forks have been soft on the bike from day one. Just standing the bike up causes a lot of sag. I...

On my TBR7, and my Hawk, the rear tire was the first to wear out, while the front was still pretty good. I see that you sold your old Hawk. I hope whoever bought it enjoys it.

Front tire wore out very prematurely. What's the cause??

My KPX has 2,500 miles now, and my front tire has about had it, but my back is still very good. I don't usually gauge my tires before a ride, but I always check them and make sure they seem hard. ...
