Nordie, what FCR jetting are you running, just wondering if I need the full MX_Rob kit of just the basic one.

Just the basic is fine.
Shane also says just dump the throttle return cable.

Whats your opinion on that?

Pics of the GN centerstand.

1 thing to be aware of. My bike is currently on the low suspension settings and the center stand only just lifts the bike off the ground, I'm not aware of whether the stand has been shortened or not but I suspect once I lift the bike back up to it's normal height it will be redundant.

It looks like the center stand hangs lower than the frame rails ? What thickness is your bashplate, it looks thin in the picture. Iv'e made mine from 5mm. Ali doesnt way much !! Will look at buildind a center stand but its way down the list at the moment

The only reason for the push cable is in case the slide sticks.
The fcr has rollers on the slide as well.
My XR race bike ran for 4 years with only the pull cable and got really choked up with mud without any issues.
My stock bst carb would stick closed occasionally but only after some extended high speed running.

If your carb return spring were to break, you'd be in the poo but how often does that happen?

Yes the plate the center stand is mounted to sits on the underside of the frame rails and bends around them to bolt onto the footpeg bolts, so the entire setup is lower than the frame rails.

The bashplate is only a couple of mm, 2, maybe 3 at the most.

That won't fend off much or anything bigger than a flinging stone.

2-3mm of alloy does the flung stone thing very well.

Casing over rocks, not so well.

[Monstaman]

Yeah I agree with that, mine is 4mm or 5mm I think and has some pretty decent skunk marks, one which would have been hole in sump for sure.

[NordieBoy]

What sort of skunks do you have down there?

Big sharp ones

Got bunny blood and fluff on my baseplate after riding home at 3.30 am on the Monday morning, looked like a furboyz bike
