save weight xl.
« on: April 30, 2009, 04:44:55 PM »
Hi,

Trying to cut some weight on an xl 350.

Looking at the back wheel, does a tl 250 or mt 250 fit/work?

I know a sl 350 works and is 2 kgs lighter but vary hard to find.

MT250 hub is the same item excepting it runs 520 sprocket v the 530 size on the XL

the MT has a steel rim v the alloy one on the xl

the four post cush drive would only barely take the power ??? of the 125.

one good squirt of the throttle or a throttle on landing would shear them off and instant nuetral :o

stick with the original and save your gearbox,you can save considerable weight by using a sensible sized tyre.
