Jonsered 2159 - My Sons First Rebuild. She Lives!!!

[ZukiRyder440]

Oh and great job Zukiryder400!

Thanks!! I just ran my 2159/357 hybrid today at my grandparents today and it felt wicked responsive and even though it had a screwed up chain, it still cut quicker than I expected.

 

[ZukiRyder440]

Austin @ZukiRyder400 great job on your first build and welcome to the OPE family!!! There is a little upgrade your Dad may have forgot about, you can use a 2255 clutch cover on your 2159 and have a better chain tensioner.

Thanks!! And that 2255 clutch cover that you had mentioned I wil invest in that soon.

Not to derail this to much, but do you have a z400?

Lol I bet that's a nasty bike. I have a mild big bore on my z, and it does pretty good.

Alright let’s see how fast your 350R without a spark plug

My z400 is pretty much stock except for an FMF exhaust system and Sedona Rear tires. She’ll keep up with an ATC 350X

At one time the wife and I each had a Z400. Hers was bone stock and mine had a 440 kit with full exhaust. There was a pretty noticeable difference between the two. The 440 had more attitude

Yep it woke it up quite a bit. Just a good all around quad really. That said I would love to get a older 2 stroke though.

Tell pops to get you some new chains for that bad boy. It's child abuse making you cut with screwed up chains and all!

NYH1.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

It's child abuse making you cut with square filed chains and all!

NYH1.

Fixed

Lol beat me to it.

The chain was good to go until my nephew put it in the dirt whilst trying out Austin’s saw. And yes, it was one of my square filed chains, guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow. No more 2159 for JoJo!!! Lol!

Will be getting him a couple new chains to call his own on Monday.

Joe Dirt strikes!! Lmao!!

He told Austin and I he knows how to file a chain because "I've seen Dad do it a bunch of times".. lmao!!

All joking aside we do need to get these boys up to speed with sharpening. Maybe those sharpening gages would be a good start for them. One things for sure, I don’t want to be on the vice every time one of them smokes a chain.
