500 EXC Issues
- cold clutch doesn't fully disengage.
- "shimmy" starting around 50mph which gets a little worse w/ more speed and settles into a cyclic on/off shimmy.
- Balance the wheels, 3oz in front and 3.75 in rear.
Parts
- Fuel filter sock, put in tank cap area as a pre-filter.
- Skid Plate
- Golan Fuel Filter $60 for filter and clamps. Use this to replace the small stock inline filters which tend to clog and stall the bike.
- Woody's Wheels... ends up around $1900 for a "best" supermoto set of wheels.
- LiteLock Rim Locks Cheap and lighter than stock, light enuf that you shouldn't need to balance the wheels according to some folks. 1.6 front and 2.15 rear.
- Mousse/Bibs for going "airless", need to research pros/cons of this more. Sounds like they're heavier, do wear out, can generate heat...
- DoubleTake Mirrors around $93 for a pair. I've also seen mirrors which fold into the hand guards, would like to compare the pros/cons of the Double Takes w/ those.
- DirtTricks Cone Washer and rear sprockets and front sprockets $37: apparently these last long and are the way to go.
- Acerbis Tanks
- AP Racing PRF Brake Fluid: Apparently the best for not boiling.
- Tires:
- MT21 10/90 tires: recommended by Chris at SBM. $82F/$93R at BikeBandit
- Dunlop D606 tires: recommended by some at ADVRider. $88F/$90R at BikeBandit.
- Adrian suggested running Trials Tires, here are some Dunlop D803 Trials Tires
