Time to Modify Just a Bit More.......

[AussiXS11G]

Today's efforts......
necessity being the mother of invention, I Macgyvered (an example of a noun being used as a verb) a bike stand and erected the big top (rainy here in Brisvagis today)



one step back and two forward _ put the XS11 swingarm back in the frame to make some important measurements - then re-installed the TRX swingarm/wheel - my new front upper mounts need a little adjusting - not symmetrical as it turns out...cleaned up the rear wheel, installed new 530 gauge sprocket....





all a bit boring really - but - the tale of the tape
removing from the bike
XS11 swing arm/diff                                 15.10 kg
XS11 rear wheel/caliper/axle/spacers         21.40 kg
XS11 middle gear case                             5.65 kg (no oil)

replacing with
TRX swingarm/wheel/caliper/axle                23.70 kg
new output shaft/sprocket/bearings             2.0 kg

revealing a net loss of 16.45kg from the rear  - I haven't quantified the front as yet

[AussiXS11G]

That was the advice I had from MP back in 2001

not so different from my old mounts (I have had the motor set up in grim solid mounts for the last 10 years) but the pressed metal brackets weren't able to absorb the vibe and I have cracked 2 sets......
Rather like this latest pair.....

Steps

[steptoe]

they,re a beefy design,

 does the couple of mm clearance you were talking about between motors come into play

is the muffler inner the one with mechanical baffelling
