    [QUOTE=Padmei;1129598038]Not sure what size chain & stuff but i swap between a 14 & the 15T front. the 15 is much nicer to cruise at & the 14 way better for blatting around the forest but a pain on longer trips. It's such a PITA to keep retensioning the chain though.

    Thanks for that Padmei, Might get a 14 for the front, as my front sprocket is stuffed, and see what I think before I get the new chain. As my chain doesn't seem to be that streched, but then I haven't measured it for wear yet.

    Howie, I was running a 14 and it was great in the gnarly stuff, but as padmei says a bit low for extended road stuff, but not that bad. Now have a 15t which is ok and better for gravel, although wheelies are harder now. Also with the 15 steep downhills require more clutch feathering to keep the wheel turning and not stalling the engine.
    I can't see the point in gearing a dp bike right down so it is a pain on the road, may as well get a 250.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    very true words.

    I may have to take Gonzo off the road for a few days as there are many parts that need unbending.

    But taking Gonzo off the road is what caused the bent bits in the first place.

    Went to get a new choke cable yesterday but ex japan (wtf). Took me boken cable into Murray Thorns today and they made me a new one for $20. Went to put it on just before and realised that I had not given them the adjusting bit at the handlebar end. Now need to take it back. CONCENTRATE WOODMAN.

    Guys, help!
    I've ordered a D606 for the front but there seems to be some confusion as to what I can put on the back. The Kwaka engineers didn't leave much room. &^$%*
    There's a worn Dunlop K750 130/80 17" on it at the moment, with only 5mm clearance to the plastic chain guard, 10mm to the side of the swing arm and 20mm to the front. Exhaust is looking close too.
    To tell you the truth, I'm a bit disappointed with this discovery. I do so want to love this bike..., but she's fighting me every step of the way

    Any suggestions?

    I thought the D606 in 130 was a common fitment?

    yup - its quite tight though - I had to adjust my exhaust a tad and the clearance to the chain guard is tight but it does fit and is a great tire

    Ok, thanks. I'll try the 130/90 17 D606.
    Trim up the knobs with a sharp knife if needed
