Ummmm, great price. Does that include shipping and handling????

If you were using Amsoil....the wheel would be rotating backwards actually taking wear off of your transmission parts and clutch plates. In time, your transmission would be better than new.

All these guys are WRONG !!!!

It's your master occipulating secondary transducer ...and only I HAVE THE KIT FOR THAT !!!


Obviously you've figured out it's completely normal.... Makes cleaning the rear wheel easier too..(if you're into that kind of thing) ... just be sure not to hit it into gear ...

If you're still in doubt; Normal.

Obligatory smartass answer; check your headlight fluid, it might be low.

Huh? Your tire does what? Check the NUT holding the H-bars.

I've never seen mine do that, so I don't know if it's normal or not, but I have a sure-fire solution that others seem to have overlooked:
Don't run the engine with the rear wheel off the ground!
