B is also easy, You seen my truck and once aired down I never get stuck.

Geez man. I hope I didn't give you the impression I couldn't change a tire!
But you're right, scratches scare me.

Maybe if
a. I can get a spare wheel and paddle.
b. I can figure out how not to get my truck stuck in the sand.

Definitely maybe.

you ride that thing yet?
I think we're going to do some trail riding at nelson's landing, you should come!

Nelsons landing at Lake Mojave?

Good times :cool: :cool: Thanks for the invite rp :D [/b] Me too...Thanks RP. It was my first opportunity to open my (new) 5 hundy up in fifth gear, with cool people. Good times. I'm thinking about trying to make Day in the Dirt. Contemplating the old man vet class race (on my 450). Let me know if ...

I wanna come up Saturday. Need directions....

I'm interested. Let us know when you nail the date down.

Thanks, I'll answer my own question.

It took a 175 easy even at 3000 ft. and 80 degrees f. Probably could go even richer but it feels perfect now...

the steelies shake like a dog well before 80 mph. your going to eat shit unless you have a steering damper :lol: I've heard all that headshake stuff before to the point where I was scared of what my '92 would do out in the desert. I never had even a hint of that: Having said that: 1. I never went 8...

I don't care about mathematical top speed. I just want to be in the meat of the power at about 65-70 mph and be able to sustain that speed without being revved out. I've found it's about at that point where full on standup monster wheelies tend to ... "occur" effortlessly with a little (ri...

I don't know what days and days is, and I didn't actually measure the clearance, but it looked to me like about .050" max with a 15 tooth AFAM sprocket. Not enough clearance for my taste. Plus I would have had to trim the case protector down to the point of uselessness to run it. It would work,...

I sure as hell wouldn't run two master links Why not?? You have ONE aleady right?? It would just bug me. Maybe a holdout from bad memories from my early days of the dreaded worn out master link coming loose and ruining a weekend riding trip. It seems the master link is the weakest link, and having ...

How does the size of your gears effect your wheelbase?? he is not adding links to the chain, instead pushing the rear wheel forward. It was a retoricle question, anyone who does things RIGHT would add a link or remove one as appropriate... :roll: Thats like saying you want to put new gears on but y...

Uh, interesting discussion. Anyways, with the 15 tooth the chain is too close to the case for my taste. I don't feel like buggering up my case. Plus it brings the rear wheel farther forward than I want. I'll go with a (14) 47 rear and call it a day. I'd rather extend the wheelbase than shorten it. O...

I'm not expecting a dramatic change. If I could just tell a difference one way or the other that would be cool. But you never know until you try. I want the rear end to spin like a bicycle tire. Zero resistance. I'm pretty close :lol: For me the whole point is to tone it down and make it more contr...

I just got a 15 last week. Had to take a little of the case saver so the chain wouldn't rub it. I'm using a non o-ring Sidewinder chain so it's got case clearance for days. I'm experimenting with a 15 / 52 combination. I've heard that using larger sprockets but keeping roughly the same overall rati...

Does anybody run a 15? Are there any issues with the chain hitting the case?

I'm thinking that if a 170 main jet is standard (with the long joggled silencer) then with a fatty and the short powercore 2 a 175 main should be about right (sea level to approx 3000 ft.

Anyone concur?

It's been several years since I've owned a 5 hundy. Just picked up an immaculate '01. Fresh ride report form Comp Edge. Need to raise the fork oil level, maybe some stiffer springs. Other than that this beast is a sweetheart, a very scary sweatheart. Most noteable is how f-ing hard the bitch is to r...
