Can anybody help me find 5.83 R&P for the rear of my Kick and no Calmini can't

looks like they have a 5.83 set.

I think they buy a lot of there products from Calmini. If you look at the rest of the site at least

the only ones that make them is Richmond for Calmini. If anyone else has them its because they bought them from Calmini to stock themselves.

yeah i was looking through, could be that its just a reseler of calmini prods.

Here's an idea!  Call Hawk's Strictly Suzuki, and see if THEY have any in stock!

888-SAMURAI is their number, if I remember correctly!  Yup!

If I remember correct they get their R&P sets straight from Richmond like Calmini so it could be that they still have 'm in stock good luck on your search  

i emailed Richmond and here is what they said.

The Suzuki gears are a non stocked item for us.We make the gears at the request of any of our distributors for a minimum quantity.
Currently we do not have plans to make the gears.

Thank You

Not cool is an understatement   Calmini have been spinning a line to customers for months that they will have stock "in a couple of weeks" meanwhile they never had and still haven't placed an order with Richmond for manufacture. Calmini are now saying at the earliest it will be late Summer. What the #%*|removethispart|@ is going on with them. It makes you wonder if they just can't afford to place the order but don't keep spinning lines to the customer that they will be in stock soon when thay haven't even ordered any.  And as they still haven't placed an order you got to wonder how much faith you can put in them to have them late Summer.  Any of you running 5.83 in the rear better hope you don't bust 'em.

this is why i will never do business with calmini again . it has never ben pleasent for me to bo business with them and i do not have a good thing to say about them.
sorry if this offends anyone . but ill build my one stuff or go without befor i bo business with them again ever.

I personally have never had a moments bad service from Calmini or their products. Dont blame all of the gear shortage on Calmini, Richmond sets their prices, and MINIMUM orders that would determine if Calmini could order the gears, deliver them to the customer and not loose money in the process.

Dont get me wrong, yea it sucks if you are promised a product and do not get it when promised. All I do is not order shit unless it is in stock. If it is not in stock, have the vendor you are dealing with give you a call when they do have it in stock.

I'm just glad to see Calmini taking the steps to get rid of having to deal with Richmonds Minimum orders and probably increasing prices :-/


I hate to see any Kick products yanked off of the shelf for any period of time, but I believe that this will improve the availibility in the future.

Do you really think Richmond care if Calmini place an order or not. They have a policy in place and Calmini know it. Who's to say it's the policy anyway, maybe Calmini just don't have the money to do business at the momoent, I don't know and they're not telling. All they do is make promises they know full well they can't keep and have done so for months now.

Anyway  moaning about it won't get me set so please anybody that knows of a set for the rear pm me with details.
Thanks, CJ
