Well ... DR 650 has the rear sprocket with 41 teeth and XF with 43 teeth. I want to know if i can use a chain kit of DR for my XF and what would be the result .. ? Thank you ! Sorry, i saw now that you`ve done that ... my question is: you`ve replaced only the rear sprocket or the chain as well ? (DR...

Hello ! Bref: i want to change the rear sprocket with a 41 teeth one (from Suzuki DR 650). Freewind has the rear sprocket with 43 teeth which puts it in higher revs than the DR. Example: Freewind - 110 km/h at 5000 revs in the 5th gear DR 65 - 110 km /h at 4000 revs in the 5th gear Have any of you d...

Hello ! Coming back after 1 year, my Freewind runs great an i`ve decided to keep it (although i must admit i was thinking about an BMW F 650 with ABS). I modified the seat, put about 3 cm of sponge, it made it wider, too, and now i can really sit comfortable on long roads. Now i want to change the w...

Hello again. I need your help again. I have to change the oil. Which one of Motul or Motorex do you recomand ? Both 15 W 50 semi-sintetic.

Thank you in advance.

It`s ok, thank you. I`ll do some more thinking. In the meanwhile i`ll change the tires: Michelin Anakee ! )

Hallo wieder. Ich möchte die Funkenstecker ändern und ich denke an zwei Alternativen: NGK oder Denso. Jemand erklärte mir, daß NGK nicht für Freewind, das so gut ist, das sie nur für Einspritzung gut sind. Ist dieses zutreffende oder. ? Was kannst du erklären mir? Und an zweiter Stelle: „Iridium“ Ma...

Hello again. I want to change the spark plugs and i think of two alternatives: NGK or Denso. Someone told me NGK is not so good for Freewind, that they are good only for injection. Is this true or .. ? What can you tell me ? And second: does "iridium" makes a big difference for a mono ? Th...

Ok, i`ll do that. Thank you.

Thanks. I`ll look for Anakee and Tourance.

Ride free ! (like the wind, of course)

Later edit: a friend of mine with BMW GS 1200 R had Anakee and he said they sliped a lot on the wet ... now he bought some Continental Road Atack and he`s very happy.

I`m back with a new question: i want to change the tires (Pireli MT 80, standard tire for XF).... what can you recomand me ? I want a mixt tire (on-off) but soft, for the curbes ... are there any ?
Thank you !

Perhaps i`m a little off-topic right now but i`ll give you an answer. Romania is an absolutly magnificent country and if you decide to visit it, don`t hesitate. But i`m sick and tired of most of the people here ... this is my problem. I can`t find a decent job cause i`m "overqualified", ca...

Thank you ! I looked over the offer on the ebay and it seems very interesting. The bikers in Romania are often buying from Louis or Polo but i couldn`t find there very much for Freewind. Thanks again and keep in touch.

Hello everybody. First of all i want to apologize for writing in english but i don`t speak german, although i wish. My name is Alex and i`m from Romania (sad, i know). I`m a new owner of a Freewind (1998) and i have some questions, if you don`t mind. I have 2 problems: the wind (i need a bigger wind...
