Was going through my old used/taken off parts today trying to clear up some space on the shelves and I got a couple parts that I'm not sure if I can keep them and fix/re-sell them or if they are junk. I have a set of old used timing chain guides out of my 400 that have very slight wear on them but I'm pretty sure they are junk right? And I also have a barely used Streamline wave rotor ($90) that got slightly bent and heat discolored from rubbing my skidplate for about 5 minutes on the ride back to the house after clipping a huge rock. Can I straighten the rotor and if so did the heat hurt the rotor any? Thanks guys!

You can straighten out the rotor and reuse it. Where it bent though it will be weak and might chip off.

The timing chain guides might be scrap but I have a old used set just in case I have an emergency and need them haha

Im with Cody on the rotor, might break where it heated up but it could be fine too. Guides Id just chuck, not likely to need them again.

I save everything unless its truly trash. Saved my butt more than a few times. Like today, while going over the 400 I noticed whats that-THE SWINGARM PIVOT BOLT NUT IS GONE!!!! What do you know, I already got a back up-could be a steering stem nut tho IDK, its beat up but will work for now!

I'm the same way. I keep everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I even kept all my broken and bent axles and rims and stuff. I just now today decided to sort through it all and toss the junk. Also, what do you guys do with all your used clutch and throttle cables? I kept all of mine because they are still in usable shape. They aren't broken or frayed, the ends are just a little messed up from being used so much. I have 2 stock throttle cables, 2 stock clutch cables and a brand new motion pro clutch and throttle cable just in-case I need one, lol.

lol I have 2 throttle cables, and 4 clutch cables.

None of my clutch cables are worn or anything I just like to replace them every couple months to try and keep my clutch as smooth as possible.

I never replace my throttle cable. I just have extras laying around for some reason!
