I just watched a good video on a guy upgrading his wheels and brakes. Might be worth a watch
A rear wheel lockup is scary, but it's not nearly as bad as some other situationsWell I ordered some parts, a CNC gear hub, a belt conversion kit, chain lockup preventer, double brake pull, rear caliper brake and a helmet for my noggin.
I am seriously spooked about chain lockup, I'm a mechanic, so my livelihood is tied to my body being in good shape. I'll give the belt setup a go.
Also i switched to a NGK BP6HS and im surprised how much better it starts!
He did dyno it as wellI'm just confused by Jayraye telling us Smolik is running Dyno numbers on an Avenger which he doesn't sell when he should actually be running Dyno numbers on his own Menace motor which is made from a Phantom 85 motor which he does sell...lol...lol.
my chain locked up a few days ago on my yd100 going 35 and well it didn't end well I flew off the bike because it happened right when I was going over a small bump and luckily I always wear dirt bike helmets on al my bikes and I was basically fine other then the fact I popped a weird thing in my knee called a bersae in my knee and hurts everytime I touch my knee other then that im fine and so is the bikeA rear wheel lockup is scary, but it's not nearly as bad as some other situations
Thank God you wear a helmet. I see to many guys riding around without them. Don't matter how fast your going if another vehicle runs into you. Did your chain have a lot of slack in it?my chain locked up a few days ago on my yd100 going 35 and well it didn't end well I flew off the bike because it happened right when I was going over a small bump and luckily I always wear dirt bike helmets on al my bikes and I was basically fine other then the fact I popped a weird thing in my knee called a bersae in my knee and hurts everytime I touch my knee other then that im fine and so is the bike
nope had proper chain tension it was super weird I decided to get rid of all my chain tensioners and so far no problems and also I really like how a dirt bike helmet looks on someone riding on one of these bikes they look amazing!Thank God you wear a helmet.

I had the rear fender come off and lock my rear wheel up before.
