    200x dosent roll easy ..........

    been restoring a 200x . and i just cant get it to roll easy . its hard to push around and you can feel it when you let off the gas ?

    i put new bearings in it when i was restoring it front and rear .

    what are some possible causes ?

    tight chain ? swing arm adjustments out of line ?

    Tight chain or swingarm is not straight. Make sure the chain adjusters are equally adjusted on both sides. Brakes dragging?

    If the rear tube between the bearings was worn, when you tightened it up, the axle would bind.

    Don't you roll and check things as you go?? You have to or you end up wondering where the issue is.......

    Start by lifting it off all 3 and rolling the front and rear, then start narrowing it down by removing calipers if you find the binding to be in that area.

    If not...check your rear brake set-up...if the caliper's bad, then it'll hang up and make it hard to roll <--- what was wrong with mine.

    A broken chain adjuster will do it.
