Here's a RTW ADVrider thread of a couple (Kiwi and Chinese) "Two Moto Kiwis Arctic To Antarctic... on two DR650's where the Barkbusters get a real serious workout...
It is more a in depth read though, but worth every minute, of it IMO. The Barkbusters on Ellen's bike come up trumps...

Shoot me a PM with what you need if interested.
Guess some members here can testify on my technical (in)capabilities :naughty:

Wow that is one small looking battery. How did it go receiving that in Ch!na, what with all the clamp downs on nearly everything coming into the country and Customs wanting their piece of the action. Items that one could get delivered into Ch!na once upon a time, without any interference seem to now be hit with taxes/duties. Anyway nice looking website with a few interesting items.
Easy as, postal service delivered the parcel incl. battery to our door.Quote:

As for your question about quality chains, you know where to turn for the gold standard in these matters: Pfaelzer's My JH600 thread.
I'm only guessing that the chain length is the same for the JH600 and the JH600B, and of course if Pfaelzer has changed sprockets the link count could change too. I'm pretty sure Motokai has replaced his factory chain, but not sure what he used. Milton too.
cheers!
Yeah, seen it on our factory remote security cams on the phone.Quote:
