Some fun off road riding with my Zero FXS
« on: June 05, 2017, 07:50:11 AM »

I love riding dirt on street tires but it's been a little while (hence me eating it, got too grabby with the front brake).  This bike reminds me of why I love motorcycles, so happy to say I've joined the Zero family.  Recently put a chain kit on it, didn't do any tunes so anyone who is wondering how "noisy" it is can hear it.  Personally, I think it's still plenty stealthy and am stoked to hit the supermoto track with no worries of broken belts this year.

It really is much more quite than I expected.
Do you know what is the type of chain being used? X ring? O ring?

Those handguards just saved you seventy-five bucks for a new brake lever.  ;D

Agreed, I read a lot of people saying it's an annoying, scratchy loud noise but I have to disagree.  Barely much  noisier in my opinion. 

It's an O ring type.

HA!  Yup!  Worth it for sure!  I knew I was going to be pushing the bendability limits of the levers if I didn't get the handguards :P
