			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just read this over on <a href="http://bigdogadventures.com/WR250R.htm">BigDog&#8217;s website</a>&#8230; looks like the 12 tooth counter sprockets can cause issues with wearing the swingarm down, especially if the chain is too tight. Or to owners manual spec&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The only thing I&#8217;ve noticed to watch for if you don&#8217;t know how to adjust the chain correctly. I don&#8217;t follow the owners manual anymore for adjusting the chain&#8211;I leave it quite a bit looser. If you adjust the chain to tight&#8212;-it will cut into your swingarm&#8211;I know one guy that it cut into the swingarm needle bearings and he had to have it re-welded. It was either that or buy another swingarm. The swingarm pivot point is lower than the Countershaft on this bike&#8211;not so with most bikes. Just a little thing to watch out for. Check you rubber guide around the swingarm carefully and keep an eye on them. New one on the left&#8211;my old one on the right&#8212;they are upside down in the picture. If your&#8217;s don&#8217;t look like like the one on the left&#8212;you are awaiting disaster. If you are checking you guide for wear and the bottom of the guide doesn&#8217;t come all the way to the front of the swingarm&#8212;-it is worn out and you may be digging into your swingarm&#8212;probably are. I&#8217;ve been running my chain looser than the manual says and so far the chain is not wearing on my guide at all. If you&#8217;ve put on a 12 tooth countershaft sprocket ???? <strong>GET IT OFF !!!!!!</strong> This will only aggravated this &#8220;potential&#8221; problem&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- work with the back sprocket for gearing changes.</p></blockquote>
