I think I may be the grand prize winner of the shortest ride contest. I finally got my bike completed for it's 1st run. It fired right up perfect and I rode it about 50 yards down the road and remembered I needed to lube the engine side chain. I rode it back, lubed the chain and no more forward movement. I reved the engine and I could see the clutch and belt spinning but the wonderful "one way" bearing just freewheels! Oh well. I knew this was coming but thought I'd get a little further.
It's amazing to me that Grubee still sells the 4G trans with this terrible design bearing and remains to be so popular.
Lucky enough.... I have the EZM trans en route as I type. I will probably join the ranks of the welded up bearing club and keep this 4G trans for a future project but boy this hobby can get expensive!
