Now back to our regularly scheduled program ....

test drive # 2 went pretty well, managed to pull it all together between shifts and give it about 1/2 hour of thrashing. no time for videoing or pics.

two minutes in, made a wrong turn on my overgrown trails, put it in a hole blocked by a 3 foot tree trunk and used reverse !

My cable setup is lousy though and it skips sometimes if i don't hold the lever all the way back. chain loosened at the same time getting out of the hole, which was a good thing, as i took it back to the garage and remembered that i forgot to fill the tranny with gear oil

back tires makes it feel a bit strange in fast or sharp turns, didn't check the air pressure, i'm sure it's just having wide, soft tread back there, making me worry about rolling when it's actually soaking it up pretty well ....

May try for some vid tomorrow afternoon on break, then it's time to teardown the swingarm and paint it if no issues show up.
