But only till I get the tool. I hoping I can get one local. I ask the Matco truck today. He said no. So I will go by Suzuki dealer and hope they do. Or just take it to my local mechanic and just get him to do it for me. But I prefer to do it myself.


    50 bucks, thats not too bad, I paid 80 for the motion pro set and this looks to be exactly the same.

      The first one was already mentioned (aluminum wears far faster than steel, because although the surface may be harder, the underneath metal that has to take the load isn't), and the second one is that chain lube doesn't polar-bond to aluminum, meaning you need to lube about four times as often to keep the roller-to-sprocket interface properly lubed.
      With a 520 aluminum set-up, my guess is he'll be due for a new chain & sprockets again in under 10k miles -- compared to the typically 25-30k miles I get out of the steel set-up before it gets anywhere near it's wear limits.

      Yeah we will see what happens. The good part to all of this is I research this and knew about the bad. But I like it so far. But I havn't really got to ride it yet like I want to.
