spare tube ( & oops x 2)

Post by mark ward » Wed Sep 17, 2014 10:07 am

Rehash for Newbies, IF you carry a spare tube, the FRont will work ion the rear. AS A TEMP "repair". 
(like those TINY spare tires, drive SLOW and change asap)
1st oops. I didn't realize I had a basic tube in the frt. Untill I opened the package from fred (sent a month+- ago) and pulled out the HEAVY DUTY one.  
2nd oops, The spare I HAD, in my (STOLEN) Fender bag, WAS a HD, (from Fred Hink Arrowhead motorsports, Getting in a sales plug, To the "choir")
This Metzler BASIC tube is about HALF as thick, so Storing it on the bike OR in My NEW LARGE FENDER-BAG, (bought threw Fred Hink Arrowhead Motorsports) It will take up very little (1/2) space. 
SO a basic regular frt tube as a spare for emergency, packs ALOT smaller.
 
PS. As on TV. How do we add Theme Music, every time we read, .............
 BUY FROM FRED HINK ARROWHEAD MOTORSPORTS.  For GREAT PARTS & service Just dial B-R-549.

NEXT TIP. the SMALL basic tube will fit in a Gallon ziplock SO, Use a HEAVY amount of baby-powder, Or MONKEY-BUTT ON IT BEFORE sealing the bag. ROAD SIDE READY. Heavy so extra to dump in the tire.

frt sprocket?

Post by Robert Waters » Wed Sep 17, 2014 3:20 pm

 I used to think that stock was not sufficient but have moved toward believing that it is.  For example, I just got back from Colorado where I road three of the most difficult trails in the state, to include Pearl Pass.   Did it on a DR-350 with stock 15T front sprocket.  While lower gears might have been nice the stock speed performed well.  Of course, I did have the renowned "pumper carb" installed and it helped with the needed horse power above 13K.   It was tuned for high elevation would idle like a single cylinder Johnny Put-Put (John Dear Tractor).
A few years ago when I took a trio from Arkansas to Colorado on my KLR, I put on a 16T and changed to 14T when I got there.  Worked find, but if I do it again I'm not sure I'll bother with the mechanical work.
