chain guard removal question?
once I take off the chain guard, what's the best way to remove the brackets? I assume just cut them off with a dremal and touch up the paint??? Also reguarding the chain, what's best to use to lubricate it? The sae 90w oil slings all over the place and makes a mess. anything better?
Thanks

RE: chain guard removal question?
no, just chain lube. put it on, spin the rear wheel and wipe off the loose stuff. let it sit for an hour or so if you're concerned about flinging. it is a dirt bike though and if you would have left the chain guard on it would have caught some of that stuff. I'm glad I'm not as obsessed with a dremel or a grinder as some of you guys are. Seems like that's all I hear is someone cutting something off this bike. Not me, I'm gonna keep it as it came as it all functions together to make it the bike it was intended to be. If I'm lining up at an MX gate on a bike with a chain guard, I think I came with the wrong bike. Now, if I'm charging the woods and having a good ole time pulling like a mack truck to get the front end to come up, I definitely have the right bike. hehe Travis

Steve,
Chainwax works well and doesn't fling as much as some other brands. You can buy it at any motorcycle shop.

I'm leaving my guard on, but only for looks, and the helmet lock?.....not sure. Hey I ordered new Kenda tires today from AMT , and got an e-mail back within the hour that said one of the tubes were back ordered, and so the order was cancelled unless they heard back from me with a reply to an e-mail that I wanted to wait, While I'm disappointed that I have to wait a week extra I am really impressed as to the communication and customer service, it's all good from where I'm sitting. I sent a nice e-mail back thanking them figuring they probably get a lot of rude responses and I thought I would send them a nice one. I can wait, I mean it's not like I tore the tires off and was waiting for the new ones, otherwise it could have gotten ugly. LOL

Speaking of the chain guard..how many of us are removing it? I just did. I decided it looked a little [sm=lame.gif]. Also took off the helmet lock..never used it and never will.
