Default 56 gets maintenance

New tires, bearing pack, wheels trued, balanced. 24 tooth motor sprocket up from a 23, cant wait to ride these things. my old tires were all sidewall cracked and spun like a lump. Down graded to a sprocket without the comp and put the old cover back on as well. The comp was well worn and I think was causing some vibs. Good times.

Nothing like the feeling of new ground pads, fresh grease, oil, tune-up, going over the wiring and knowing all systems are Go on your old scoot.
Very nice ride!!
