tortron Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 christ i still have this POS have done roughly 10,000 kms since taking ownership of this black beast (end of march) and it definitely shows as i have never cleaned it gave most of it a brush down with kero today (namely the back half as that required further work) Was fitted with a standard no oring chain, which by this point was as stretched as adjustment would allow. So i ordered a new chain and sprocket kit this morning, which arrived at about 3.30 this afternoon at my doorstep (free postage even). just need to pick up a couple of bolts for the chain adjusters and il be operational again. also i need a new rear tyre, anyone goot a deal on a 16 inch tyre?

CaMpylobacter Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 mean. do you lube the shit out of your chain frequently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 mean.do you lube the shit out of your chain frequently? yuh, with this new oring chain it should last pretty much forever. am yet to find a chain lube that actually sticks to the chain and not the tyre tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 i roll that gold+black coloured can 'chain wax' shit which seemingly has a good result for me. coat the shitout of it wen the chain's warm (i.e after I'd ridden it home) and left it overnight to trickle in and set. chains seemed to last really well with that muck. a bit flicks off and shit but it's fairly clean. no chains ftw. get a scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 i should try and see the brand for you when i go down to the shed later. it's at most lush bike shops anyway, however, you can't really lube o-ring chains can you? also enclosed chain ftl.

Popular Post tortron Posted June 11, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2019 About 10 years ago I swore I would never own another GN250 So in saying that, here's my brand new GN125 Only just noticed there is blue flake through the black. Fancy. Also has a tool box, don't think my 250 had that. Frame welds could have done with some antispatter and some proper cleaning before paint.... Pretty boring Probably the only new vehicle I'll ever have though 17 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Change le oil often. Keep the tyres pumped up. - modification list for GN125. Oh; polish the chrome every now and then. We get ones with shitty surface rust forming quite early in their ownership. (though for some reason these people have been sold on the GN as a no maintenance bike; therefore never do anything for the first 3 years and get shocked when they fail on tyres etc at the first WOF; thanks local Suzuki shop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
