How do you adjust the tensioner? And do you have torque specs?
@jamesgarage122316 күн бұрын
Hey mate, Tensioner is automatic adjustment - The spring mechanism shown in the video is how it applies the automatic tension. As for torque specifications, you can get the DR650 manuals online.

Awesome work mate, I will need to replace the rear of my frame, super daunting, since the rear leafspring mount is tied into the crossmember on the short wheel base.
@jamesgarage1223Ай бұрын
G’day mate, Same setup on the LWB Utes - The spring hangers are removed in this video. It’s all structural in this area! Realistically a strong repair can all be done to the required level by doing some research, paying adequate attention and using some basic principles of engineering. The original factory frame has some horribly undercut welds vertically along the chassis, and that’s still there after almost 50 years, so I figure myself or anyone else can probably do a job that will last just as long as long as you care to do it properly.

With some basic engineering principles applied I think just about anyone can repair these. From factory the join between sections on the LWB is done horribly and lasted 50 years, So I figure as long as you give it the attention it deserves it will last.

100% I cant believe how fast the time in-between goes. It feels like a few weeks but in reality its a few months. I never had plans to do it quickly so the slow progress doesn't really both me (yet). I havened decided yet on a product, I have heard/seen good things from the KBS chassis coater kits so that might be the go. I think I'll talk to a few local shops and see what they recommend too. Once its all painted, I plan on coating the inside of the chassis with fish oil as I've had success with it in the past (Old school but works).

@jamesgarage12232 жыл бұрын
If you’ve done a 3” lift and haven’t adjusted the position of the valve to match, Your rear brakes won’t be doing much work. You should also bleed starting at the furthest away point and working back towards the brake booster. When bleeding use a clear tube on the bleed nipple to make sure there is no air bubbles in the system as this is usually the culprit for spongy feeling in brakes.
