Uh, okay.

I will change now.

 

When i got a flat on the KLX and a buddy let me use his hand pump i was amazed how fast it got up to pressure. I will never leave without one now. The Key is a dual stage pump. It pumps air on both strokes of the pump, pushing and pulling... it pushes air the entire time. Had the rear tire pumped back up in less than 10 mins

This is the pump my buddy let me use which i have bought.

I would think a dual stage longer barrel one would push a huge volume of air. I would stay away from the short or mini pumps still fast but not as much air as the longer ones.

 

Yep, stay away from the mini-mini pumps and the ones that don't have a fold-out foot to stand on and those without a T-handle. Those that don't have a fold-out foot give you one of the most horrible isometric exercises you can imagine.

 

Plus one on the Mountain Morph. Sometimes I carry a small 12v backup that plugs into my battery tender connection, but most of the time, just the hand pump.

I have a couple of them and I take one on the long rides where I'm gonna be 50 miles from nowhere.

 

Hello everyone , im going to be changing my countershaft sprocket on my 2012 klx 250s and was wondering what the torque spec for this nut would be? Thank you.

 

You might want to start your own thread with this question...unless you're using a using a hand pump to work on the sprocket.

 

Hey thanks guys! I ordered a Mountain Morph today! I have all the other necessary tools just gota pack em so when the inevitable happens I can deal with it. Dang, still can't figure out how to pack that bike jack, oh well. As always I appreciate the sage guidance.

 

 

Shadetree, do you have the cane jack style of portable jack for the bike? If so, I mount mine like a crossbar with zip ties. My Renthal bar doesn't have a crossbar, but if it did, I could mount it the same. Look in the one pic of my bike, and you can see where I zip tie it. I put rubber bumpers over the ends of the cane jack to cushion it against the bar. I've been thousands of miles with this setup, and the cane jack has never moved or come loose. I put the fork end in that tail bag on the bike. I carry the Mountain Morph mini pump in my hydration pack, but there are many creative places to put the pump, similar to what I did with the cane jack.
