Part 2
So we don’t get to far ahead of ourselves and have to many
things taken apart at one time, you should now have the front end put back
together.
Next
Start by removing the seat, gas tank, rear wheel and sub
frame.
Now remove the rear shock. This is a good time to go ahead and change the
spring and set it so there is about 5mm of preload on the spring. We will
adjust it to the correct settings after we reassemble it on the bike.
Now that we have the shock and sub frame off the bike remove
the swing arm pivot bolt. Remove the swing arm.
Inspect the bearings and go ahead and re-grease the bearings
in the swing arm with water proof grease such as Belray.
After applying a very thin coating of grease to the bolt, you
can now reinstall the swing arm torque the nut to the specified setting. (Refer
to the manual)
While you have all the parts off the bike tighten all the
bolts including the engine mounting bolts. Ensure to use the specified torque
settings.
The gas tank-
Sometimes the fuel tanks are not properly cleaned out and may contain plastic
particles from the manufacturing process. So you will want to flush before use.
While off the bike fill the gas tank approximately ¼ full. Use an appropriate
container; dump the fuel into the container. Repeat this with clean fuel until
there are no remaining plastic particles inside the fuel tank.
Once complete you may reinstall the gas tank.
Air filter-This one is simple. Just re-oil the filter with high
quality foam filter oil, such as Maxima Foam Filter Treatment and reinstall it.
One thing we found is necessary, before reinstalling the filter inspect the
plastic filter cage for any excess plastic parts remaining from manufacturing.
(See the picture) Before you asked the question, yes there was a part from the
injection molding still attached to our cage. This is a part that could get
stuck within the carburetor slide.
Rear wheel-If you need assistance take your rear wheel and
replace the tire with either a Michelin MH2 or MH3 to suit your terrain. Here
in Arizona the
stock tire just did not seem to get the same bite. The stock tire may be
suitable for your terrain.
We also changed the rear sprocket from the stock 50T to a
48T. This is something that will change from track to track but, the 48T is
pretty universal and the 50T did not work for most of our motos or desert
riding. If you have tighter riding conditions such as woods or deep sandy
conditions the 50T may work for you.
At this time you can reassemble everything.
The stock chain seems to stretch a little premature so you
will want to have a good quality chain ready to install. After experimenting on
a few chains we ended up using the Renthal’s R1 chain. This is a good all round
high “bullet proof” quality chain.
Spring adjustment- There are really only 2 measurements you
are concerned with. Static sag and rider sag. Use these formulas and
measurements to calculate the each sag setting.
A=While the bike is sitting on a stand and the rear wheel
off the ground take measurement from the center of the axle to a point you will
mark on the rear fender.
B=Remove the bike from the stand and push down on the seat a
few times with your hands. Once the bike has settled to a height take a
measurement from the rear axle to the mark you had made on the rear fender.
C=with rider with gear sitting on the bike in riding
position take a measurement from the center of the rear axle to the mark on the
rear fender.
A-B=Static sag.
B-C=Rider sag.
Where to start? These measurements are standard for all
bikes. The only change is the length at which you set the rider sag. The Static
sag usually is a measurement used to ensure you have the correct spring
selection. If the static sag is longer than recommended your spring is to soft.
If it is shorter than recommended the spring is stiff.
Before you can determine this you will need to set the rider
sag.
Most 65cc bikes Start by setting the rider sag so the
calculated length is between 70mm-75mm. This is just a guideline so you will
need to will need to make minor adjustments to suit the rider.
You have now finished the minimum requirements to ensure you
have a safe reliable motorcycle for racing.
