The shock was taken to James Packwwod racing to sort out the non-working rebound adjuster. I then fitted new sprockets front and rear as the bike still had the originals on there, the front was well hooked .......... But the rear wasn't too bad so I'll keep that one as a spare ................ Heat up the rear sprocket bolts BEFORE trying to undo them .......... and then fit them using blue loctite ............ and it's done.................. I then used the original shock to put the bike back on two wheels, re-fitted all the bodywork, gave it all a polish and she's done. Just got to wait for the shock to be repaired and then I can re-fit that You’ve totally confused @XTreme with all that techno talk mate 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get 25,000 out of them if you were on road only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just changed the front sprocket on my Xr looked as bad as yours but after only 2000 miles so 11k is great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By comparison the 650GS chain was really crappy......more like a bicycle chain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can second that I have over 2000 miles in my hands on my CB500 and the chain has not needed to be touched apart from lube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've now done the same amount of miles as I have in only a few months. I truly am The King of the Casuals!

Big singles are hard on chains, I’d probably not get more than 8000 miles out of a chain on the donkey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 I freshened up my Rally yesterday with a new seat as the original has sagged after six years of use. I went for a black seat from a 250M, I much prefer it to the red item, the strap was removed straight away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 What’s the weight difference between both bikes @boboneleg? The new engine will like a missile on the trails compared to that, don’t you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
