New Magician Owner - Chain question

[Ascot500]

I have another chain on the way.

FYI, I did have the adjusters turned back all the way and it still wasn't quite enough.

Thanks to all who responded.

RPS's own site lists it as 21/18. I forgot they are different sizes...

...and a smaller gas tank. I think that it's well suited for the bike, though. It's more of a putting-around-town bike than the Hawk is. I like it a lot and am considering getting one this spring. It reminds me of the XF200 I had but a little taller and a bit more cc's. The dash is pretty minimal but I'm thinking that one mjstef's dashes would fit.

Many guys on here have gone to UniBear chain, which is a 428H chain, pre-stretched and four way staked. I have yet to hear the first complaint about this chain.....ARH

By coincidence, that is the chain that I ordered

Problem solved - back on the road

That is my hesitation to fully embracing this bike vs. other bikes. I like how this one seems more 'ready' out of the box than the Hawk--it already has a 45 tooth rear sprocket, and from the Motocheez videos, it did not seem as though he changed the carb but I might be wrong there. However, it sounded good on his videos, and he was pulling easy wheelies (not that that is what I would do, but it does show the power to weight of this bike). Not to mention--street tires. It is just that small fuel tank...

As I've said before, lofting the front wheel has much more to do with where your feet are placed when you stand up, then it has to do with horsepower......ARH
