Is the stator strong or big enough to push a full heat suit? I have a wr250r and it’s a beast. It pushes my heated jacket, pants, Socks , and gloves...

    Chain slack

    What would be a good rule of thumb on chain slack with the FTR? I just check with my hand on my dirtbike. Is it kind of the same mindset or totally different?
