hi minkyhead, its the luck of the draw with the waterpump. my sumpgaurd is sufficiently wide enough to fend of all i have thrown at it. it's up to you, bars gaurd or combo.
i would suggest a chain guide to stop derailments. again it might be a case of refitting the chain or it could be as some have found out a bit more serious. zou and molgen required swing arms[ if you need, give me a shout i have a solution]http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=14756&page=2&highlight=paddy near the bottom
as i do push on a bit and dont be shy on drop offs. i found the peg mounts to be a bit weak, they are easily welded though [off the bike] tt make a stronger version. for normal use the standard ones are fine but worth keeping an eye on
i may be wrong but i think darren may be mistaken about the ratios. iirc. all bar him were on 15 tooth fronts and he on the 14. allowing us the long legs for the open trails.
to date mine is still on the 15/46 even with the 18'' wheel and full of the swing arm michelin desert tyre, thought my technical trail technique is about clutch / speed. the engine has loads of low speed torque, for me it's fine.everyone have thier own preferences!
heavier fork oil, i know i used a different setup on the heroes but i feel the forks are fine for regular trails, sure better springs like the hyperpros help. mine bar the atf oil and the preload wound up suit me fine, how extreme are you planning?
your rear pad wear seems excessive [[im only starting my second set with 25,400mls]still on original fronts 18,000 fork brake change]. is all free and working correctly? or is the pedal high and inadvertly being dragged? the second set were kyoto cheapos from webmoto and are bedded in on the heroes 5,300mls and are hardly worn
for me; for another race the fork wheel set-up is going back and stronger peg mounts
for an adventure no changes required! just right
