  • I'm glad

    I didn't sell or otherwise lose the original final from The Pathfinder. I went for a little ride today and I heard a tick, tick noise so I came home and it sounds like it is in the 750 final. So I'm going back to the original and hoping the noise goes away. Click once for each revolution like a tooth on the ring gear is broken. I'll take it apart for inspection once it's changed. Last time I checked the oil it was black and lots of sludge on the magnet. New oil doesn't look too bad yet, but.....

    I wish you well with that. My FD is off a 850. They were easier to set up than the other type. Pathfinder is a gorgeous bike.

      Done

      I put the original final back on The Pathfinder and no more noises. Now I'll always be looking for that 6th gear again...
