I just put my 50stunt.com rear pegs on my 2003 XR50 just now......

-my chains to tight isn't it?, when I spin the rear wheel in the air it only spins half a revalution.

-is the rear axle suppose to be greased? I greased it when I put it back in.

 

Yeah, the chain is tighter than it is supposed to be, but that is good for busting stunts cuz it gives you better control with the throttle with less slop in the chain. Definetly greese the axle, if you dont it will get a little sticky from rust and corrosion from riding in water or washing the bike.

 

thanks guys

 

I redid it so the chain has 1/2 inch slack while nobody is sitting on it. I loosened up my rear brake which I don't like, but it still feels like theres some drag when I'm riding it. Maybe it's in my head, the rear wheel never flows as free as the front wheel right? Could I have did something wrong while putting the axle back in?

 

life the read of the bike up while its running. if the wheels spins then you should be fine. other wise your clutch isn't very tight or there is something wrong. sometimes the spacer gets lopsided.
