    The RETURN of the MIGHTY WR250x. I know a load of you guys have missed this bike and trust me I have too! I finally got the opportunity to get her back in awesome running order. This is also a perfect example of why the 2008 WR 250x is a tank of a freaking bike. Doesn't get cranked up for months and all it needs is a little garage time and it's running and wheelieing better than ever! For those curious I'm dropping the mods I got for the bike down below:

    Air Filter: bit.ly/2MQOGTf

  • @ianthomas3653
    @ianthomas3653 6 років тому +11

    Internet professional here to tell you that you were wrong. You want the oil to warm up so it is LESS viscous. The more viscous (higher the viscosity) the thicker it is. I only know because i work in a laboratory and measure viscosity daily. I know you can't tell, but i am totally just busting balls and trying to make you a little smarter. Love the videos. Glad to see you showing T some love

  • @aaahillshandyman..bellavis864
    @aaahillshandyman..bellavis864 6 років тому +2

    Chase, your chain tension looks tight which will not allow for full suspension travel and fast chain sprocket wear. Check your owners manual for chain slack spec's but in general you should be to fit 3 fingers between the chain and top swing arm half way along the swing arm.

    @CRAKALAKIN213 6 років тому

    Hey Chase, not sure if you didn’t include it in the video by choice or just didn’t do it, but you can’t just press the master link into place. You need to use the chain tool to rivet the pins of the master so that the plate doesn’t pop back off. Just making sure you did it right so you don’t get hurt.

    • @chaseontwowheels
      @chaseontwowheels  6 років тому

      Are you saying that expensive lithium is more dangerous than cheap lithium? No, it's all about keeping the cells at their preferred voltage. You need a special charger for that. And bikes don't have that kind of a balancing charger. So you need to balance them with your 110V/220V charger from time to time.
