    Bearings, yes, thank you! Doh! Brain fart. . . .
    I presume it's the same deal with bearings, ie normally a higher price = better quality?

    No, not so, SKF are as good as it gets same of federal or any other major bearing manufacturer they are all ISO 9000 certified, if its in a Honda package you're gonna pay more for the same bearing. period.
    Sunstar makes good sprockets, any good 520 chain is a good 520 chain for a 185 your not applying a whack of torque through the system.

    I have a Honda 200s and the chain was new when I got it. I have to tighten it every time I go out. Now it's toast. What chain brand would you reccomend that wont have to be tightened so often?

    If the chain was new, but the sprockets were old, this would toast a chain. A new chain is designed to fit new sprockets. Old sprockets would force the chain to stretch and wear pre-maturely. Also, it seems to me non-o-ring chains strtch fairly easily because their quality is not that of a fairly expensive o or x ring chain.

    Ok, new axle is on hand.
    Chain and two sprockets are being shipped out today.
    New front and rear bearings were shipped out yesterday.
    It's a "GO."
    I feel like I'm waiting for the birth of a child or somethin'.

    Can life get any better? Maybe if someone could lend me some money? I just spent all mine.
