Thread #26 and #30 gives the tire size. I cannot remember who I bought them from, but most online dealers will have something similar in size. They work well.

Nothing special. I think I put the original tube in the front and I had a Kenda tube lying around that I put in the back. I believe the Kenda tube was a little bit heavier than the stock.

It was just tire size. I didn't want a 4.60 on the front. I think the Shinko's would be just fine. Just watch for tire clearance on the forks to make sure a large tire doesn't rub. As for a 5.10 on...

Got my daughter out riding a couple of times. Of course in the process she dropped the bike which is to be expected. I had not got around to putting any guards on the clutch and brake levers, so the...

Finally got a few km on the bike. Changed oil at 130km. Took the oil screen off the bottom of the engine. Very clean. Took the oil filter apart. As you can see only a few flecks of metal particles.

Easy to take the shock off. Just unbolt the top and bottom mounts. May need to see if it will come out from below the swing arm. Once it is off, then you will need a spring compressor to...

I would be interested.

Thanks, Spook

Of course, it is ALL about safety!:icon10: I mean, I needed to test the bike to make sure that it was ridable.:riding: And then there was my safety; I needed a motorcycle riding fix and your right,...

Well, I went for my first ride today on this motorcycle.
It has been thawing like crazy the last three days in Canuck land, unusual for us this early. Thawed enough for the gravel to become exposed...

I purchased a 4.60x17 for the rear. I figure that should be big enough for this small motor. I put a set on my KLR 650 when I first got it. Good tires, maybe a little softer than the 270's, wore out...

Haven't had a chance to ride it yet, too much snow! Will be end of March before I can even get out the driveway with it.

I finally got a new tire for the front. IRC GP-1 3.50x17. I believe it will be okay for the size of front rim. I put these semi-knobbies on because my daughter will be learning to ride in our field...

Ten;
Do you have any close up pics of your rack?

Jape; I need to keep reminding myself that this is her bike not mine. What she wants to do and what I want may be two different things. That is why I bought this, something small and easy to ride....

In the course of going over this bike I discover the emissions stuff. So I am pondering; do I take the stuff of now, or do I wait until spring and ride the bike a bit, getting to know it before doing...

Just finishing up a few things. Went through all the electrical wiring and put di-electric grease on all the connectors. Rerouted a couple of wires and put a few extra zip ties in different places.

Here is the front end assembled again.
What I noticed when I first put the front wheel on out of the crate and when I put it on again today is that the wheel seems to not be centered. I measured...

Here are some pics of the headset bearings that I did today.

Not overly impressed with the headlight mounting system. Needs a well built assembly to carry everything properly. Two small mounts on...

Jape, I just use an automotive grease, nothing fancy. Movement in these points is minimal, but packing the bearings will help keep out moisture and water.
ChinaV, this is my first attempt at doing...

It is too bad that more dual sports don't come with grease fittings. I am not knocking the Chinese for lack of grease, because this happens on Japanese bikes as well. At least on the KLR forums, the...

Barnone, you will need grease! Acutally it depends on the type of riding one does. If not used heavily in the dirt then what they have would work for quite a while. The grease fittings are a good...

Here it is, back together again. I had a used 5.10x17 Kenda 270 lying around and mounted it up. Probably overkill for this size a bike, a 4.60x17 would probably be better. No clearance problems on...

Rotating ball on shock. I was impressed. No grease.

Nice shock. I measured its length and it is 345mm eye to eye +- 2mm. I didn't do an exact measurement. Take note of the blue line. This is...
