Race Dog
So I bought this Xchallenge yesterday 41100km on the clock bike has some extras with a Leo Vince slip-on and still looks good
Let me start off with a Big thanks to [member=10050]ClimbingTurtle[/member] for all your input and advice :thumleft:
He knows these bike well after his build https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=232780.0
Upgrades/changes to follow
1.New proper tires, thinking D606's front and back
2. Tail tidy, design and manufacture (see below) can make a batch if anyone needs.
3. Shock upgrade or replacement if needed (see below) might have an issue?
4. Swingarm bearings if needed
3. Head Bearings are shot they will be replaced
4. Still has the oem grips, they will get replaced
5. The seat has been modified, I would like to get a blue original sometime, not yet sure what I'll do with this one should know after the first proper ride (hopefully this Sunday, fingers crossed)
6. Rear indicators will be replaced
7. New hand guards they look a bit scruffy
8. Rack for 5L fuel, will design and manufacture something similar to the one ClimbingTurtle did https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=232780.msg4269162#msg4269162
9. Progressive springs might happen time will tell
Shock issue: The shock were @ 11bar I deflated it down to around 8 but on rebound it sounds like if it's whistling, while viewing the bike it was more of a squeak making me think it's the swingarm bearings, I'll investigate it later today. will appreciate your inputs and thoughts
I need to figure out what settings and pressure to run the suspension at, I'm about 100kg with my riding kit (current setup front is 14clicks compression and 15 clicks rebound) Rear?
Tail tidy: I will design and manufacture a tail tidy bracket similar to the one Omninorm did here https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=185192.msg3588054#msg3588054 if anyone else would like one let me know and I'll do a batch (rockfox can't help I made contact with them all ready this morning)
Anything else I should do? let me know.
