Need help changing chain and sprockets

Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am overall new to riding and just recently got my first bike (i actually bought carguy's 2006 xr650l). Been putting a decent amount of time into riding to gain experience and also i have been somewhat taking my bike apart and putting it together again in order to learn more about it. I am very interested in a how-to video of this if you guys get one going, as i do plan to do my own maintenance on my bike and a video for replacing a chain would generally be very useful for a noobie like myself! Either way please let me know if you put together the video and ill definitely check it out (also contact me if you need help with filming or editing).

It was a great time. Glad I got to meet everyone. The bike feels like a new machine!

Here's the link to the place where I got the levers:

They might have thought you were Craig trying to sneak in as an alias. I would talk to them and let them know that's not the case.

That is unfortunate, but also pretty funny. Craig, they must have hired someone dedicated solely to search and destroy your latest handle on Advrider. :torch:

I emailed them and pointed out that Bryan was obviously a different person and pointed them to this thread. I just checked and he is now unbanned. GB can be a little trigger happy.

That's good news. Bryan didn't know he was hanging with a bunch of rabble rousers.

I just got the unban email. They said it must have been an anti-spam/anti-fake-noob filter. Glad to see they're not unreasonable and glad to see I have the support of you rabble rousers :P

You know that Bryan seemed like such a good kid until he got caught up in the wrong crowd :)
