As Corey and I know, there’s no such thing as bad publicity and this thread for the fine JR50 is ticking over and staying in the public’s eye

Cant let the truth get in the way of a good story. ay TB?? Never have I had to do the walk of shame and have someone else ride my bike for me.

There is a BIG difference between being asked “would they like a ride of my XR” rather than HAVING to ride it for me. The former being the real story.

Now that is cleared up.

Nice tidy JR there Corey. Moose has one and it is now on its forth kid and still going like a beauty.

What a thread, a great bike for sale and a big Jew (funny how that worked out :laugh: ) takes the bait, the hook, line, reel, rod, boat and trailer :laugh: :laugh:

I suppose once the back is loaded I will see if I do need that harder rear shock spring , I’m hoping not because it’s now so good in the singles !

Nick

You can have a spring for each setup. It would be a little fiddling around for sure but a good way to keep your linkages greased correctly and its not as though you will be changing the spring for a days ride :laugh: it will stay either way for a while

I am fitting a 5.8 I think it is to Krusty’s. Its not a big job really, not for the out come if you get my drift. A few measurements like from the adjusting collars to the end of the shock before you pull your single trail spring out would mean when you put it back in you could have it all preset before you fit it in the bike

Just a thought

Yeah Nick it needs some fine tuning though thats the reason for loading it all and testing it now isn’t it :laugh:

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah thats right Mickp, I was wheel standing the Tenere in 3rd gear today :ohmy: The front will push the way mine is, I am going to reposition the weight a little move the forks through the triple clamps. I will also take it to Tekniks this week loaded up and ask Dr Nick his thoughts as he is always super helpful with stuff like this.

[GregMember]
