Hello Everyone,
How you guys doing? Hope everyone is doing Excellent and still getting better.
So I picked up a CA plated wr 400 that has basically been always an enduro. Sooo... I'm trying to change that here and a few questions came up:
1. The gearing. Right now it seems like the first 2 gears are almost useless, I can take of in second alright, if I try to gun a it a bit it wheelies....
so I'm trying to figure out the sprocket sizes right now but there's another problem.
2. The wheels are still stock with dirt tires on them. Right now I don't have an extra 1200 for a new set so I guess we'll need to keep these ones for now. So can I change just the rear sprocket right now and then swap it on the sumo wheels without messing with the chain too much? Or is it better to cut down on the soft drinks and get the new set?
3. Steering starts floating slightly at high speeds. Is it because of no steering stabilizer or is it because of dirt setup? Or is it something to worry about?
4. Was it real windy the past few days or do you always have to battle the wind on the freeway like that?
Other than that I think I'm in love.... Especially after about a week of trying to kick start the thing I finally figured it out and now kick it in 1 kick warm or cold or whatever! Kinda makes it a real MANS BIKE!
Thanks in advance everyone, looking forward to riding with everyone! :thumbup:
