We don't make one specifically for the drz400, but if you check out your owners manual and see what the recommended chain slack is, we may have an existing one that will work.
Just curious, on my 2004 450 EXC there is a black insert in the end of the axle on the chain ring side, can it be removed to install an axle pull handle?
We have Chain Gauges in stock for KTM's now. You mentioned 'chain guides' though? If you meant chain gauge, refer to your owners manual for the spec/range of adjustment and choose the gauge that matches your specs in your manual. Thanks
@@WorksConnectionUSA Yes, poor terminology. Chain slack gauge. I’m familiar with the tolerances but the clear plastic gauge you guys have for other OEM’s/models makes it easier
If you want to make an adjustment for certain starts would it be ok to slide it up my fork tube a little bit? I mean I’m not torquing it down to 50ft lbs or anything crazy so I wouldn’t think it would effect the function of my forks. ( not like it would matter because the air forks on the new ktms blow anyways haha) Or should I have two sets of fork guards with the device drilled lower?? I know that it sounds like a silly question but I like my forks more compressed off certain conditions then I do others..
Marc, We have had customers 'adjust' the height of the fork ring for different terrains and it can be done. You just need to be aware of the torque setting and also note that the fork ring position is normally 'sitting' on a shelf or wider part of the fork for support which you won't have if you simply slide it up. If possible the multiple fork guards is a better option overall, but we realize it's not always convenient.
DR650 single cylinder with 2 plugs/coils. Does it matter which wire I wrap it around? I also have a standard spark plug cap. How would you install in that situation.
How much are they for that awesome tool and I was wondering do you still have skid plates for my older wr 450fwhich it's a 04 models and keep making the awesome stuff that al us dirt bike guys need....
The stock KTM axle threads directly into the stock axle block basically making it a 'solid' (non floating) setup. Our Axle Block Kit turns that into a 'floating' style (just like the Japanese Brands and also what the KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas Teams run). By having some 'float' in the axle and block some riders feel a more compliant feel in acceleration bumps and traction with the 'floating' setup. Our Axle Block Kit also has integrated measuring posts to help make sure that the alignment of your rear wheel is accurate and straight.
While I am supported by WC (full disclosure), I have used these Works Connection Pro Launch devices on my race bikes for years, and love them. Easy to install with basic skills, look great anodized, very lightweight, and work flawlessly for me everytime. Highly recommend.
Hi, I'm an engineer and this seems like a very interesting product, but I'm not well acquainted with motorcycle racing and I don't quite understand the function of the device. Could you explain in a bit more detail?
@@WorksConnectionUSA Okey according to your website you only have one in the UK, but none in Europe. Are you looking for distributors. Maybe i can help get your products into Europe.
Hello I got one of these and it is the best whole shot device I've probably used however I just got new plastics and I do not know where to get the diagram to put it back on do you know where I can get that
Thanks for the props! If you go to our website and click on the 'shop by brand' link you can enter your Make, Model and Year and it will bring up a list of products available for your bike. Choose the "Pro Launch Start Device' and once there, click on the 'instructions' tab and you will find the template on the last page of the instructions.
They are custom made and we stock them if you need replacements. They are not a standard hardware store type screw and you can actually distort the screen if the wrong screws are used. You can call us at (530) 642-9488 for replacements. Thanks.
Wish this was like other start devices. You have to remove the front wheel and slide the fork tube out of the triple clamps to install. Antiquated design when compared to others.
While I agree that it would be easier (saves 5 minutes) there are numerous reasons why we don't have a 'split fork ring'. 1. The more moving parts you have, the more chance for a failure. All of the Pro Teams we work with Honda/HRC, Star Racing Yamaha, Muc-Off Honda, HEP Suzuki etc. don't want a split ring as it's just an additional piece that may fail. If you read any mx message boards, there have been a fair amount of failures with the split ring and Pro Teams don't take any unnecessary risks (and neither should the average racer) 2. Weight. Our device is the lightest on the market and the fork ring weight savings is part of it being lightweight. Our fork ring is noticeable shorter in height than the split ring style and therefore saves weight. While you might think it's an 'antiquated' design, hopefully this sheds a little light on why we rely on our solid fork rings. Race proven, durable and used by more Pro Teams than all others combined. Thanks for your feedback.
@@WorksConnectionUSA I appreciate your response and I can accept your explanation. Full disclosure, over the years I have had many WC components and they've all been 100% good to go. I wish you guys continued success.
