Technical: Chain Guard Flap By HorseRider650 |
|
The XR650L wasn't designed to ever stay clean and polished like
a Harley or other street bike. It was made to get dirty. However
one day after routine maintenance on the chain I decided to take
the bike for a test ride. My wife asked me if she could go along.
So off we went. Upon our return and much to my fear and dismay
there was a grease spot on the back of her new white jacket.
So here is a cheap mod you can do to the chain guard to keep
chain lube at bay. You just need a couple stainless steal screws
and nuts (or pop rivets). And what I found to make the extension
on the guard was a piece of plastic from the carburetor air intake
of a 1983 Buick Century. This cut down on chain grease splatter
tremendously. By HorseRider650 |
