Super moto wheels and no cushdrive.
Hi guys, my bike has had many modifications since i got it. And is exceptional in every way. (although i may be biased hehe) but after a few ride outs with super moto buddies i struggle to stick with them in the twisties. Even on road tyres. The front just doesnt feel planted.
Ive got an ohlins shock. And WP fork conversion, all dialled in. So can alter steering angles ride height etc.
Im blaming the large front wheel and skinny rear. So im thinking i might put in some supermoto wheels just too see what happens.
I googled and found an xt660z on xt660x wheels in and it looked awsome but all information was in potugese.
Ive got a set of wheels allready, husaberg 450 hubs, excel rims, the front is a direct fit for my WP fork conversion. (Awsome)
The rear i can make fit, But................. It doesnt have a cush drive.
Will this kill my allready abused, (trailer hauling, offroaded, jumped) gearbox, or is the cushdrive more for rider comfort and smooth power delivery rather than gearbox preservation.
Because I plan ahead ive ordered an xt660x rear wheel too. Im asuming this will drop straight in. Looks like it will.
Watch this space.
