Re: WK400 owners thread.

BTW I checked the manual for the chain tension and it says 1 - 2 cm. I thought that seemed small but I set it at about 1.5, when I took the bike off the centre stand there was hardly any play at all. Doesn't seem right to me, I think I'm going to slacken it off a bit further. What do you set yours a...

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Hi Paul, bikes looking good, love the Mitas E-09's, i think the chain saver is instead of the existing cover and would need shorter bolts Let me know some dates if your still up for a meet, im ok weekdays if this suits Ah that would make sense about the chain saver.

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Oh and I checked with Quadzilla, can't get the tool kits. Will just have to work out spark plug removal some other way.

Re: WK400 owners thread.

I've also been sorting a few things out, getting there slowly. Put the numark battery in, seems good, starts well. Had Mitas E-09's put on front and rear in preparation for going on a beginners off road training weekend with Nathan M in 2 weeks. http://www.learning-to-see.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20...

Re: WK400 owners thread.

the inner spacer sits bearing face to bearing face and is flush with the bearing so no lip to catch the drift, any suggestions most welcome. :? :!: Most times the spacer is just wedged there in line with the bearings from being preloaded when you tighten the axle up, try sticking a long screwdriver...

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Thanks for the manual link, very useful! Just a thought, did you get the toolkit with your purchase as the spark plug socket in most useful.... :shock: Damn, no. I'll have to get one. What size will I need, is it not standard then? Haven't done much with the bike yet apart from ride it. Having an ab...

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Owner's Manuals Found these while hunting about, neither for the WK exactly but might still be useful. The first one is for the Shineray-Xy400-2, but the engine looks the same to me? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1358569/Shineray-Xy400-2.html This is for the Mash Adventure 400, but has a sectio...

Re: WK400 owners thread.

Welcome Alan, I'm a recent joiner too - just got my WK a couple of weeks back and am loving it so far. Not much progress here yet (been very wet and the bike is kept outside) although have found someone local to lower the seat next week. Ironically the WK cut out on me on the way into the business p...
