Husky TC50 2017 tips

Hi all,

I'm new to the 50s game, just upgraded my son's PW to the TC50. Actually, after some of you commented on an older thread saying the kid needs to switch once he starts jumping.

Anyway, a couple of questions for people with exp. that would clear things up, for reference, is 5.5 years old. He wants to start some racing next season, we'll see about that

• Clutch setting: as I read for kids his age and starting on the 50, I reversed the clutch setting by 3 clicks, so it's sitting at 6 clicks forward. He seems to have trouble with smoothing the throttle, but do you think this setting is OK, and when should I go back to the std setting (9)?
• I can't really pin out the handlebar position for him, it's not in the back setting with the clamps forward. How do I see from his position what the best combination should be?
• I'm having difficulties with aligning the rear sprocket. I bought a new set chain and sprockets, but the chain tension is changing quite significantly when turning the wheel. I put feel gauges on 2 sides when mounting the sprocket to get it somewhat aligned, but it's not perfect, any tricks to get this better?
• How high/low do you put the rear brake padle so it's easy for a kid to reach?
• What should I always have spare for this bike when going to the track? Full clutch?

Thanks! any other tips appreciated.
