Check all screw
fixings
and ensure they are all snug, particularly those associated with the
exhaust, engine / carb / air filter and all gaskets to limit the
possibility of dirt / sand entering through these connections
Rear sand
paddles, and ideally front sand ribs
– mounted
up another set of rims so that you're not forever changing beadlocks.
TGN
RedNeck Dual
Stage Filter / Blue
stock inner foam
both suitably oiled with tacky foam filter oil,
with Outerwears
pre filter cover
(drawstring type
may be slightly easier to pull over assembly than the elastic type)
Outerwears Pull
start pre-filter
Ideally an
improved throttle
Linkage set up,
eg Yamadude style -
If necessary
modifications can be done to the stock throttle linkage – a
drill can be used to carefully increase the hole size in the black
slider and decrease the chances of sticking due to grit /sand build
up. The insertion of two small metal
eyelets in the increased holes,
one at at each end of the slider, may also improve
free movement.
Grease the carb
throttle shaft and
place 4 x o-rings P4 (4
x 2mm clear #75070) as used in the shocks, along its length.
Grease again, and
slip on a trimmed
axle boot prior to screwing on the throttle arm. This will protect
the shaft and dirt entering behind
the e clip.
Any fine dust / sand passing past the boot will stick to the surface of grease creating a natural barrier
and prevent it from entering further and causing potential problems.
Grease
on 'spring side' throttle arm
(Dieelectric
grease, available from marine accessories suppliers etc)
Shock covers,
eg badhorsie.com
for protecting the shocks / shafts / prevention of seal wear due to
sand abrasion
Smear grease
onto the air
filter sleeve face
(#85444 / 1) ie
where the foam filter meets the flat of the sleeve (or an even layer
onto the end of the stock blue inner foam) to effectively form a seal
to the ingress of dirt
