Help me out please :)
Hi everyone,
I�ve recently bought a 09 XTR, I barely know anything about bikes and want to know how to take care of it myself. I don�t want to be one of those guys that just regularly drops it off at the workshop or one of those guys that gets NRMA out for a fallen off chain. Which brings me to my next point, my whole drive system needs replacing, both sprockets and chain. It has been stretched as far as it can go and the chain fell off, leaving me without any mode of personal transport. I�m really keen to learn how to do it myself (by way of someone showing and helping me), I�m basically asking for someone to help me out this weekend. Please help me out guys 
Regards, Nick. |

Hi Nick,
Welcome to the forum and to XT ownership! After many years riding bikes most of us take for granted changing chain and sprockets. However, I remember well my first bike whilst living in '80's London bedsit land with no tools, garage or mates with bikes. It took ages for me to build a reasonable set of tools. Have a good read of the service manual and you will soon find that general maintenance is pretty straightfoward - just make sure you always use the right tool for the job and don't rush it. Good luck and enjoy! Rick |
