At least they're easy to pick up Smiley

I wrestled mine off the ground on my own once and it weighs 450 so you should have no trouble Smiley
except the times I almost went down would've been in about 10 inches of water  cheeky

supposed to be around 320
I know I could do it but if I had fallen in the water, I would've been laughing to hard to get it up right away.
I ended up turning around after about a mile in because I remembered there is a water crossing about 3 feet deep and wasn't going to attempt that on this.

I would just like to be able to purchase again a 200cc SM styled  bike but, the last one, had an issue with front sprocket alignment that chewed chains in less than 2 miles ... wished I could afford either a used KTM SM or Suzuki DR-ZM but, cannot and less now to spend more than $2K

When I bought the first and only one I've had, http://www.katanamotorsport.com/moto/smx200.html

they replaced the chain and sprockets 3x but didn't accept it a 4th so they gave me the $ back and used it for other stuff ... like the house !!

But how do I control its insatiable appetite for sprockets? bang head

Seems a [steel] sprocket should last at least as long as a tire. Undecided

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
