Well i got my tires and wheels in the other day. My suspicions were correct, the wheels will fit but the brakes are bigger and the front axle is smaller on the Zuma. I no i could fix the front easy with a set of zuma shocks and a diferent axle or by switching the wheel bearings but im not sure what to do with e rear brake. I ended up mounting the tires on my wheels for now and i must say WOW ! What a difference a good set of tires makes. I knew they would help but man since getting them on i have realized how dangerous the stockers were getting. it sits about a half to 3/4inch higher so im thinking about lowering it 1/2inch. I can jamb it through corners with allot more confidence and its a bit faster on top end but slower on the take off, not much though. Heres a pic of it with new shoes

If you use the oven cleaner method put the piston in a BLACK garbage bag, spray it down good then tie the bag so it's just slightly bigger than the piston but leave room for expansion. Then set it out in the sun(in an explosion safe area) and let it cook for a few hours. Oven cleaner needs a little heat for a good reaction. This method also works if you own a smoker and have racks and bowls to de-gum.

I was on my way home last night when i came up to a stop light with 3 sport bikes with guys with their chicks on the back. I rode up next to the one in the back and said hi, he said hey then the light turned so we took off. I took off like i normally do from that light and they must have been going slow cause i past them all pretty quick and i wasnt at WOT. I think they were just puttin along then thought "what the hell, is that a scooter? Is it on fire?lol" At the next stop i made my turn and took off on a wheelie. When i set it down and turned they were all still at the stop sign watching me. That was my Mr.Cool highlight of the day lol . Until i got home and realized i had TP hanging out of my pants flapping in the wind . No im just kiddn about the TP. That would be funny though ;D

I started out with the 6g sliders . I took Brents advice first because it made the most sense and was the easiest to do ! Pulled the cover and saw that the belt had been slipping some You can kinda see were the belt was fraying. I ended up mixing a set of 8.5g and 5.5g sliders. That helped some but only enough to tell me i was on track. I moved up to a mix of 8.5g and 6g sliders for allot better digs and less slipping Heres Skeedr with his new cover, ready for loads more HP
