Check to make sure your rear brake master cylinder isn’t touching the exhaust so it doesn’t ruin that component. I helped assemble a magician last weekend and that component was slightly touching the exhaust.

Good points in your video! They call that type of chain adjusters, snail cam adjusters. I'm considering one of these for myself. I have always liked dual sports, and have owned my dare of them. I'm 5'8". You think this bike would be okay for me at that heigth?

Great video! Looking for something to teach my not-very-tall wife to ride on. Did you have to re-jet the carb at elevation? I’m at 7,000 ft in northern New Mexico. How long did it take to get once ordered? How much assembly is required? Not too worried about assembly since I would want to lock tight as much as possible, just curious is all.
@HARTLINE3104 жыл бұрын
No jets are good and I'm at 6500 elevation. It took about 5 or 6 weeks but times vary a lot. Assembly was pretty easy. Got it together with my girlfriend in about 3 hrs.

I don't understand why people don't add a bolt on spring loaded chain tensioner to the swingarm like old MX bikes and maybe new ones..Keeps the chain taunt..Reduces wear on the chain..output shaft and is safer..🤔

On the rear wheel you loosen axle nuts a little then rotate the circular silver metal piece with numbers to higher numbers then tighten the axle nuts back.

If the screw you are referring to is the one I believe that's the air fuel mixture screw. Yes that has to be adjusted for your elevation and jets

It is who knows what kind of oil so best if you switch it. A healthy amount of fear is always good on a motorcycle anyways. It keeps you from doing dumb stuff.
