Wow thats a lot of slack in your chain there...It seems to run pretty well with power to it though...

[evmotorcycle]

I have tightened it up a bit since but Trail bikes tend to like slack because of the suspension travel. I might look at repositioning the motor a little higher and pulling the wheel back some more also. :)

good job, but your rear tire look wobbley..

[evmotorcycle]

Yeah it is wobbley! :) The wheels are not pumped up yet! :) Guess I better put some air into em before the next vids!

[bonez817]

please show more updates on this video thanks....

[evmotorcycle]

Yeah man It's a 12 Tooth front. Think I mentioned 15 on the vids somewhere! :( The rear is 62T and both are on a 530 chain. You are correct man, the position could do with coming up an inch or two, but I am restricted by the origial engine mounts. Will see how it goes with some weight on. The chain on the Africa Twin also likes to ride along the strip and it too slaps about somewhat. Will see about space when I get batteries.

is that a 12 tooth front?

Everything is lookin great. Raise the motor some if you can, it looks like that chain is going to ride along it alot, and you have plenty of room on the bottom chain to go up. I'd center it with the swingarm as much as possible, allow for some chain slack above and below.

Good seein you on the forums today :)
