tony27 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Good style in your shot above. Did you get the tensioner, can't see it fitted in the first 2 photos & the action shot isn't clear enough to make out if there is 1 fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmktw2 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I put on my old fenders so I dont ruin my new ones. The old gas tank was junk though. Here is how i'll be riding it from now on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Looks good now that you have the tensioner fitted, normally you want have a gap between the pad of the tensioner & the swingarm, a finger width or so is good Don't think it will be long before you end up with the new guards fitted, a little tip the original sherco importer here in NZ gave me was to run cable ties in place of the screws at the side of the rear guard which allows the guard to pivot up rather than ripping behind the sub frame in a crash. My rear guard lasted until last year using this set up Edited October 10, 2012 by tony27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rear guard lasted until last year using this set up Great advice from Tony27, those cable ties (Americaneese= zip ties ) have saved me some ££ over many years of panic dis-mounts...as for the chain:- Two fingers tension for the chrome framed models, one for the black frames, me thinks?

zippy Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Bike looks pretty good but I am a bit disturbed about the cock that is getting mighty friendly with it in the second photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Zippy, thats a Hen! You sure?? Gotta be careful when going out these days. Could look like a hen, scratch like a hen, peck like a hen and still use the urinal!! :rotfl: Bike is looking good, hope you have many many hours of fun on it. Try attending the Fun in The Sun 2 day in 2013, March, April, May sometime in there.

bmktw2 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 The bead on my front tire is not fully seated. A small section of one side. Its causing my front wire to wobble as it goes down the road. I have heard of some special tubeless bead seaters. Can anyone give me some advice on this matter? Thanks!
