'07 EC250 first ride report

[GMP]

Steve,

Be VERY carefull with the air filter. Get your hands in there and verify its seated properly. Use plenty of rim grease.

I scrapped the wire chain adjuster holder, reversed the axel so the nut is on the right, and added two layers of shrink tubing to the chain adjuster threads so they fit snug in the swingarm.

When setting up the rear shock, keep the preload to 10mm max. Even if the sag is over 115mm . Both the fork and shock will feel better, try it. Since I did this the seat is no problem.

I'm told that Husaberg uses an M6 folding wing bolt for the seat, like a Husky but not a dzus fastener. That would mean no tools seat removal, I have to get one.

Yep. It is a pain, the wrench can't fit over the nut because the wire is in the way.

I have a wire coil/spring on my brake side chain block, then I swapped so the nut is on the brake side too. Works great so far. Plus, if the nut falls off there's a better chance of the sprocket side staying aligned (ISDE trick).
