    Hey guys, I have both wheels off now and taking for mount and balance tomorrow. Just wondering if I should leave gear and rotor on rims? TIA

    leave the rotor, remove the sprocket. Watch for the rubber cush drive, it likes to fall out sometimes in pieces.

    The shop I go to always makes me take the cush drive rubbers out. (Simply squeeze the backside of the retaining nubs with a pair of needle-nose pliers and push them through.)

    Keep sand & debris from getting into your bearings while apart.

    Thanks fitz. How can I tell if they are original? Also, does anyone know the torque specs for the front and rear axles? My pdf manual is having issues "with traffic".
