front chain slider - stock or aftermarket?

[Rick McCauley]

Do yourself a favor. If you haven't done the grease zerk mod, take the swingarm off and grease the needle bearings. Then add the slider. I do like the looks of the colored parts, and the enclosed bottom guide. Rick A17

I *really don't* want to pull the swing arm to do the stock one. The other seems to not require it. see http://www.hotfootm oto.com/Site_ 2/Kawasaki_ Sliders.html for one example I am looking at.

I will definetly go look. I wasn't confused. I just wanted to make sure i didn't have to change jetting. As far as JD and small equipment, I am familar with everything from the Waterloo Boy to the model's, A, B, D, R, 50, 60, 80, 430, 520, up to the 2010, 4020 etc. You are talkin to a farm boy. Right smack in the middle of corn country Illinois. I even have a small collection of antique tractors. 1948 B.F. Avery model A, 1951 David Bradley garden tractor, 1948 maytag washing machine motor, and 1955 Allis Chalmers WD45 (actually I recently sold that one) I don't know much about the new stuff though. I like the stuff made before the 60's. New stuff is to complicated for me. Maybe that's why i like the KLR so much Rick A17

Actually, I have never been there. I have never been much of a racing fan. I love to ride bikes, but don't get much out of watching others do it. I have been to a few tractor pulls though :- ) Rick A17

There is also a motocross track very close to my area. I just can't rememeber the name of the track. I have flagged for them several times some years ago. Being on the track does add a certain flare to it. Rick A17

Sorry, Your asking the wrong guy. I live out in the sticks, but I am not a farmer. I worked around farms all my childhood, so I like old machinery. Kind of a nostalgic thing for me Rick A17

I just checked out the KLR tractor mod. It looks great. I hope it can be done without affecting jetting. Rick A17

You might want to shim the needle a bit....which is less radical than changing jets. That s what I did after doing the kill Tweety mod. I did the elegant machine shop version. Yet another alternative to throwing money in the direction of SuperCrap/SupperTripe or Big Guano. Bogdan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
