Troubles with Diamo
Well, so I feel like a bit of a hoe only coming in here to brag or complain, but I've got a problem. The other day I was pulling out on the road when all four of the sprocket bolts stripped and it went into, I though, a neutral. LOL Got off, saw the problem, pushed the bike a half mile home.
So, I thought I could drill and tap the inserts in the rubber cush, but it's too soft and the vice bends it trying to hold it in place for tapping. I guess I need the too soft steel special bolts it uses. Bummer, thought I might improve on the design a bit. I've got a few more ideas, but it'd be simpler to get the parts. I've called and called Diamo, though, and they're always busy. :roll: I guess they're busy filling orders for sprocket drive bolts. I had this link... http://www.nstmotor.com/db_200.htm . for parts, but it's down. I think that bike was the same production, looked like it, anyway. Anyone got any ideas on where else I can get parts, possible mods? I thought about getting bolts and cutting the nut in half with a cut off wheel to get 'em thin enough to bolt to the sprocket, then insert them into the cush drive. I might experiment with that if I get desperate. |
