I used a combination of walnut and sand in the blaster I was using. I went to harbor freight and picked up a few things. The sand did almost nothing. The walnut shells worked well. I will try glass bead and steel shot one day too
Possum what bushings were you using?
How hard are the bushings that come with this?
Are they comparable to the Mattoon bushings? I throw the Hinson ones in the trash
Oem is the best. There really is no substitute. There is a member that used to rewind them. They pop up every now and then.
But oem will be your best bet.
I'm not tossing chains. It's just 2 seasons of mud sand and snow have taken there toll on my current chain. It's kinked and tight in spots. I've bought 125 dollar rk chains that were wasted in 3 rides. A Renthal that was like 95 bucks junk in 1 ride.
I'm gonna give these ek chains a try
Really nice bike.
I just wouldn't be able to pay that too basically use no parts. And I can't have it and not ride it.
That's just silly.
But I do like seeing a clean stock bike.
