Anyone have any idea about HOW you adjust the drivechain on this monster?Thanks.

The hub carrier is eccentric, need a 12mm and a BIG socket to loosen the axle and then rotate the carrier either way.

The socket will probably be expensive but a cheap/flimsy tool will come with the bike.

If not you can probably easily find it online or somewhere locally. Being a bike that costs as much as this does, they better include it. Even better if it's Kawasaki branded

I'm hoping the tool I have for the Multistrada will work on the H2.

The tool I've seen for this adjustment is virtually the same design as the hook wrench for the shock...same principle...how 'expensive and exotically made" could it be???Long as it works...I don't care what or how it's madeOr how 'cheap' it might be....I can tell ya this right now...it won't be some 'flimsy' tool....it'll be exactly what it's supposed to be for THIS bike....whatever it is....they're including rear(maybe front as well)stands for the H2R...AND tire warmers.You really think(Fretka)they're gonna have some el cheapo tool kit for these bikes?I don't.I think they'll have a standard 'average' tool kit...doesn't make it 'cheap"...or Kawasaki either...which is what it sounds like you're implying.Correct me if I'm wrong about your motives around here...honestly...I don't want to be painting a picture of you in my mind that may be totally incorrect.Perhaps that's just you...your way of saying things...IDK,help me out with this will ya?

 

[Fretka]

Why are you being so negative?

Ask other people here what they think, whatever I say will probably carry no weight with you.

 

[SilverbirdH2]

"Ask other people here what they think"..they'd probably laugh their ass off seeing me continue to interact with your stupid remarks...so I'm done.Say whatever ya want...if someone else here doesn't care for it...they'll probably be smarter than me and just ignore you...

 

[Fretka]

You don't play well with others.
To tell you the truth..... I'm tired of having to explain the posts I make here to other people who seem to think that this is a pissing contest.

So you stay and I'll go

Bye

 

[SilverbirdH2]

"I'm tired of having to explain the posts I make here"....you know Fretka...you haven't 'explained' any of the questions I previously asked you about.."WHY" you were taking the tack you were taking.You just stopped posting...then returned with some other sniping remark about the bike...."cheap flimsy stuff"..."H2 costs more to MFG than the H2R"...what the heck do we care about these comments?We already paid for an extreme bike...one of a kind...yeah...it aint gonna cost 20K like a cheaper replica of something fully built.We're not crying about it...

"You don't play well with others"...you mean...I don't play well with YOU...calling your BS.You don't like it...and I don't like it...that's where I'm at...no one has to leave...that's not the issue.Personally I've nothing against you...


And who says you have to explain anything?You don't...no one has to.So lighten up some....it's only a forum...

 

[OKH2]

Can't we all just get along?


I think you both have a lot to offer to this forum but I have to agree with Siverbird. Fretka, you are a bit negative and you do have a tendency to just throw out barbs. You are obviously a smart dude with a lot of experience and knowledge regarding bikes. I hope you take this as constructive criticism and stick around.

 

[SilverbirdH2]

You know...I honestly don't have any qualms at all about pointing out positives OR negatives about this bike....WHEN THE GUYS WHO OWN THEM START RIDING THEM and find out from riding em how they feel about something with their bike.It's gonna be really good to be sharing our experiences with it.I know you guys here will be honest and legit with what you say.I know I will.But reading comments chipping at the new bike from ANYONE without having a shred of validity...I don't like it..and I think it's meant to discourage people...but then...I don't have to like it...I'm a big boy.Anyone can say whatever they want....at any time.

I don't wanna egg you two on but forums are always more fun when there's a bad guy. If only we could get Fratka to change his name to something containing the word Ranger this would be heaven.

We'll miss you fretka.... I am an argumentative prick so fighting with me is a given but some of these other gentleman... Not so sure, and for someone who claims not to enjoy pissing contests you sure get into a lot of them

lol too much too much i hope everyone knows I'm not serious. Me and fretka had a bit of an online tussle but no hard feelings. I do however get a kick out of seeing others argue. It's passion that's all it is.

 

[SilverbirdH2]

LOL...yeah...I can take things too **** seriously myself...I need to lighten up some....I'm tryingFretka's okay..I don't dislike him or anything...never did.I don't even KNOW him....he was here before I was....seniority and all that


and speaking of...'senior'rity...gonna be a kick when the first PoPo pulls me over with this bike and I take off my lid....hope I have my cam running
