Please, video of the gravel pit would be great!! Especially the few of you who meet up there with your Chinabikes. I guess your weather has turned "south" :( lately, so in a few months will be fine.

Yes, winter has finally struck. I won't complain though. Living in Ohio it's
not a matter of will we get snow, but rather when.

I had everything but the camera mount last trip. I was working on a few
hours sleep and forgot to install the mount. I will definately take it next
trip. I'm bummed for missing the last trip blimpman made there. I didn't
have a sitter and the bike was running lousy after a main jet change.
Come spring this will all be worked out.

What the best spark plug for Kinroad GY200-1? My Chinese manual makes me think that I should go ahead with what's recommended for Honda XL200.

Most seem to have gone with a NGK D8EA.

My GY came with a Torch D8RTC plug in it.
It cross references to

AC - S121*L
Champion - A6YC
NGK - BPR5HS
ND - WI6FP-U
Bosch - XR5DC
NGK Iridium - DR8EIX
Denso - IX24

Hope this helps.

XR650L Clarke 4.7 gallon tank

I decided to move my tank mod to this thread. I got the tank mounted
yesterday. Here is a pic of the moc up from the other thread.



Here it is installed. I decided to remove the rear rack and added a small
handlebar pouch I had to the rear fender. I also added a tank bag that I
got a deal on. It is wired with two fused accessory plugs. It plugs in to the
plug from the battery tender that I hard wired and then ran under the
tank up to the bag. A few beers, a little cursing and everything came
together just fine.



Here's a link to the mod on ThumperTalk.

http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/gar...wmod&mid=43352

And for the skeptics... a short video of it running with the tank installed.

I would love to. I'd leave tomarrow if it wasn't for my kids and lack of funds.

Thanks. I've been searching for the right sticker for the headlight but haven't found it yet.


*Some answers to questions from the other thread...

The tank fits real nice on the frame. I used a piece of pipe insulation zipped
tied to the frame. Looks like it will work good and I have a bunch more in
case needed. They come five foot long for about $2. I only used about a foot.

I'll get you some pics when it gets warm again. I kept forgetting the
camera when I installed it. I have to take it off again for a couple minor
adjustments.

hey easy, do you plan on giving it a coat of some paint, or are you going to leave it dingy plastic so that everyone knows how bad ass you are for swapping tanks ;-)

either way, good job, i bet you could go forever on that tank, ITS HUGE!!!

I'll probably just leave it as is. Maybe some stickers down the road?
I'm not sure of total mileage but I'm sure it can go longer than my a$$
can handle.

Well I haven't done much to my bike lately as I have been trying to get my
house and garage in order (very slow process). Here's a couple of pics of the
garage.

This is after spending a day sorting stuff and making room for the bikes.


And after hanging some decorations... :wink:


A few more weeks hopefully I'll be caught up enough to get to the GY
and some riding.

Thanks! If you mean under the bikes? It is some rubber mating I got at the
local hardware store with scrapes of carpet I got from a friend. I try to keep
the tires up off the cold concrete. It should help if I ever spill any fluids as
well.

Thanks as well. It's a 96 S2T. It is the first bike I ever bought brand new.
Probably keep it till I die. Resale is crap. What model(s) have you owned?
Are you a Badweb member? I stop in there from time to time.
