I was working on the bike this evening. Lots of noise coming from the stock chain, which is a known POS. A few of the links seemed fused together,so they weren't moving properly. Fortunately I had a brand new RK chain ready to put on, so I started that. I've Never done it before, so taking my time. Do any of you guys know the torque specs of the rear axle? I can't find the info and I didn't see it in the manual. Thanks for the oil filter link, as well as the info on the jets!

Did some research in regards to the XF250 oil filters:
This is the one I got off ebay before, but they don't list the part number: https://www.ebay.com/itm/17183139132...MakeTrack=true Everything I've found, and just going off of part number, 136, a KN136, cross references to a Mahle OX408. I couldn't find a direct KN cross reference. But Hiflo HF136 should be the same as a KN136. I cross referenced OX408 and it brought up KN136 and HF136. So: https://www.amazon.com/Hiflofiltro-H...J8APN70F9A1ZB1 So, 6 bucks a piece, and prime eligible. BOOM. I know you don't need anymore, but if someone else does. lol I'm gonna order a few now. I've also heard good things about the Amazon Basics oil. I run Rotella 15w40 in this bike and my DRZ400SM.

I know the nut side of the axle is a 19mm, the bolt side is a 17mm, i think.

Built in USA??????????
https://www.dirtrider.com/2018-ssr-m...s-xf250-street https://www.cycleworld.com/2018-ssr-...250-dual-sport Either something has changed or two, very reputable mags are woefully incorrect.

45 lbs sounds about right, but I can't confirm right now either. I got used to doing it by feel now using 7" closed end wrenches that I can fit in the tool kit. Chain slack shout be 3/4" I believe but again I don't have my service manual handy. I have nearly killed another chain after experimenting with a silicone chain/cable spray. Might be my fault since I didn't do the best job of cleaning the chain when I made the switch from gear oil to the silicone. I guess the standard lubes and the silicone don't mix well.

Yea, i couldn't find anything that wasn't super vague on either site. And the Atlas engines in those trailblazers are pretty badass. I've been thinking about swapping one into my trans am.
From the manual: After running for every 1,000 km, adjust the tightness of driving chain so that the movable distance between the two chain sprockets is kept within 25 --- 35mm. 1. Support the motorcycle with the side stand. 2. Loosen the nut of rear wheel shaft. 3. Screw out the locking nut. 4. The chain can be adjusted by turning the adjusting bolt clockwise and counterclockwise. Note: When a new chain is replaced, the two chain sprockets must be checked. If necessary, make replacement. CAUTION The opening end of chain joint should be installed in reverse to the turning direction. 20-30mm So is it 25-35 or 20-30 mm? lol

Forks and Clutch all good again.
So I got the bike back from the shop for a fork rebuild re-do. There was no leaking until AFTER the forks were rebuilt in the fall and the bike sat for most of the winter. No warranty on the work as I supplied the replacement seals from Taobao and leak went unnoticed for several months. The shop did comp the new oil and seals this time. We went with 10w oil this time(vs. 5w) and legit fork seals this go-around and no leaks thus far. I will post the seal part # the shop went with for anyone who needs to service their qlink or ssr XF/XP USD forks. Still wish I had the time to figure this out on my own but just didn't have the time. The ride is a little bumpier with the heavier oil but a lot less nose diving during braking.
I also had the shop check on the clutch as I experienced some slipping on a recent ride, even after I had adjusted the cable to the best of my ability. I really though the clutch was toast as I have really abused it.... I beat up the clutch last year while limping it through LA with a frayed clutch cable. I also ignorantly used synthetic automotive oil and super cheap Mobile Delvac for the first few years I owned this bike and I'm sure that wasn't good for the clutch either (Now I run Rotella conventional T???). The TU250x owners forum has a lot of info on this topic with lots of complaints that the clutch doesn't engage until the lever is nearly all the way out, making them think the clutch is worn out. I have the same experience with the XF and keep reading that this is normal. The shop managed to adjust the cable a little better and said the clutch is fine though.

Release point has way more to do with the lever arm on the engine more than it does the clutch pack. If you can put it under high load in a high gear and it doesn't slip, the clutch is ok.
