New Bloke
Hello all,just picked up my 09 xtx on monday,first single i've owned in years,just upgraded from a zrx1100! still getting used to the completely different riding style/power delivery. i did notice something earlier i could do with some help on,the bike has v power cans,but i noticed the chain is rubbing the pipe,anybody help? thanks in advance. Gazog.

Welcome mate.
Does the bike have standard rear suspension links & is the chain adjusted correctly? A way around the problem if can't move the link pipe away from the chain is to dent the pipe where the chain is rubber with a ball pin hammer. |
standard suspension,and the chain is correctly adjusted,i'll give that a try,thanks.

:006: Hi Gazog and welcome.

Welcome aboard mate and enjoy your XT!!! And this site is brilliant and has all the info you need to make your XT even more fun too. Enjoy!!
|
If you do a search you find a few guys have put a dent in their link pipe to clear the chain.
|
Pipe touching chain sounds a bit like the (now sorted) MTC link pipe issue:

Perhaps the cans you have were designed for the earlier X model with different swing arm? If your budget allows, go for the MTC system. |
:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

thanks all,got it sorted today,link pipe had to be removed,and hammer a groove for the chain,much happier now,getting to know the bike a bit better now,and had a good couple of hours flying around today on slighty damp roads,what a laugh,could have never taken liberties like that on the old bike.
