Richard ashcroft song video you dont own me ?

Ok will get some up. Got the snailcams just set it to Haynes manual tension with the tensioner away iirc 20 mm slack and then apply the adjuster back to the chain

New nylon block fitted. Spring present and good tenion but had to threadlock the mounting bolt in as it would tighten then go loose as if thread stripped.

Yambits 15 49

No drips but the yambits DID chain is stretched to hell. 700 miles from new! I know its 1.50 oversize and energy induction rt180 fitted. Can pull the links off the rear sprocket!

Can you feel play if its worn?

Rear mounting is split to hell with age. Powerband no problem. Low rpm it feels like it wants ro detonate

Going up from yambits newish did chain and sprocket kit to a wemoto bigger front +1( or +2 if it fits) to try reduce rubbing first

When I got it the shocker was mounted at the bolt hole in the frame to give it more lift. Its now in the proper position. Its horrible to ride in top gear but if I drop it down a gear its fine. The vibration comes right thru your bum

I think I have a clue about this that has bugged me for a year. The chain permanently runs on the top of the swingarm roller (new). I am not heavy so is my preload wrong on the rear shock or is it just how it is?

Would these be better? http://www.continental-tires.com/motorcycle/tires/motorcycle-tires/off-road-enduro/tkc-80

Did you find after removing rimlocks the road experience was smoother?

Love the xt. Rode one up a hill in Africa 16 years old. Lent the owner my mtx50 whilst I was riding it. stalled it. Came back down the hill tried to bump start it in every gear. Wheel just locked with the compression. In Stockport halfords I watched a guy kickstart a tt500. Wow. What a technique

Excellent! Many thanks Airhead.

Is there a part number.? Got genuine takasago rims.

Can I remove rimlocks for innertube on a DT175mx rim as its a counterweight effect and really bounces. I only ride on road. Will the grommet hold the tube in?

Sorry to hear that bh. Bikes are dangerous so my mother says. She would be happy if I sold all. How ironic your friend passed on not riding.

There's a 750 gixxr in my dads garage....

Still glad I kept dt!

Oh well the mk1 gsf1200n has been sold. Back to The bloke I bought it from!

I know its not totally original what with 1.50 oversize and rt180 energy induction, mudguards etc but the missus has said she will fall out with me if I sell it. I started both and sat on each one tonight trying to make decision. Parts bill is over 2200 quid for the dt. I could probably buy a xt again eventually if I sold the 1200N as that has 100 quid spend on it.

Self assessment time and ive got to sell one of them. But which one? Both 14 K on clocks.

I do likey the xt look. Also the Rd exhaust! I wonder if foamy's chappy wheels would be a good supermoto look on a dt!

Wow

Xt500 twinshock redesigned.?
