Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Took it to Maclean today. 2 hours of bogs, new loose runoff rocks, snow, wet logs and roots and general nastiness, it performed quite well, my companions were on studs. Left the DOT Metzlers on so a bit squirrelly. There were quite a few spots I'm sure if I were on the KLX I wouldn't have made it. I...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Just checked. With 13/52 the front wheel is driven at about 2/3 the rate of the rear. Accounting for circumference still likely less than 80%.

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Pop by and try it out. I just want to ensure the front is driven slower than the rear still (pretty confident, can't imagine the extreme enduro test riders running a 15/45 :nworthy: ), then ride the mofo somewhere greasy/rooty/rocky to see the difference. So far the front engagement has been seamles...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Just thinking about it a bit more, I can put it on the stand in AWD, mark an index on both rims, and rotate the rear and see if the front is still driven at a slower rate. DUH! :thumbsup:

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

A pic as of last night, since it has yet to see a trail. :blush: may26.JPG Re: The front wheel v. rear wheel drive rate, no warning that I see, since Christini converts XCs I assume he's considered 13/50 and 13/52 in his front drive ratio, which he said is driven about 2/3 the rate of the rear wheel...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Picked up a Twinring 52T, slapped that on, much happier with it and the 13 for trail use, 1st now creeps nicely without being on the clutch, with the extra link it and the mudgaurd fit, and I think I'll run the 14 up front for dual sporting, a bit more work to change it out due to the 2nd sprocket w...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I installed an LED flasher and it runs the incandescent, and strokes +12v / 0V on the Fluke at the rear harness, but won't power or flash the LED's. Rumour has it the KTM harness and indicator bulb requires resistors to add enough draw in addtion to the flasher; I'...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Valves at 2.6 hours. All getting tight except one exhaust. Set all to the wide end, as getting at the one intake was a pain. Due for gear oil change and maybe another crankcase change. Losing oil out the trans vent, maybe rig a clear filter to observe. valves.JPG Tried to get out in the bush this we...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Stopped by my buddies house, Wheaton terriers. I flipped the adjusters already, the problem is that the rear tire contacts the mud guard, the 13/49 does work with the stock chain it's just a tad too close. I also see that my skidplate is collecting oil, so I'll need to check out the venting and leve...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

1.2 hours into it around town. Oil change at 0.8 hours looked decent, some shiny small stuff. Valves quieting down. Commuting to get to the 3 hour valve check ASAP. More oopmh that the KLX for sure. Feels lighter, nimbler. Brakes are great. 1st gear nice and low. Not liking the hydraulic clutch, no ...
