    Gyday Mick, The clutch Saga:unsure: These clutches have to have an installed gap,when I took the cover off to check,it was way to big,which meant that the engine wasnt fully engaging the clutch so it was slipping heaps,also because the revs are lower going downhill,the clutch was disengaging to early,ie no engine braking and was a bit hard to control.I have one of the original setups so I will get onto Sutto’s and have him send me out a couple of new rekluse drive plates which are thicker and hope fully that should fix er up.Ps Dean that smell that you were telling me about when you were following me was the clutch plates frying.The oil was filthy,anyway like they say “if its got Tits or Wheels its gonna cost ya” :laugh:

    cheers Ollie

    BTW spoke to Mac today,he said he would be keen on a ride at Kundabung in October!

    Ollie,

    Whilst on the subject of minor problems, what was the issue with your steering damper I read about in this report? Did it sieze?

    Hey you blokes talking your shit up about the ride up where the locals marry their sisters, well I sent my camera man up there to get some video of you rookies getting around the bush between hugging one another

    Dont worry about the opening credits as my camera man isnt a local, boat jumpers work much cheaper anyway here its is

    PS you guys cant ride worth shit

    Nah,when I welded the bracket to the frame to hold the linkage arm (you have to weld the bracket as the WR’s use the frame as an Oil tank) I positioned it to far back,hence it wasnt holding on with to many threads,went ok on the smaller stuff on friday with just me and rick riding,but at speed and hitting a big gooly going downhill was enough to seperate the linkage arm from the threaded connectors,causing the steering to lock up,hence me doing a Superman impression into the scrub,thank god I was wearing my full body armour,got out opf it with just a few grazes and bruises,Did anyone else see it happen? must have looked good:laugh:

    Yeah Thanks Chris, it turned out even better than I expected,it got a little stressful on Friday evening but as it turns out I shouldn’t have worried. No one got really hurt (except for Gili on Sunday), no one got lost and all the bikes got home under their own steam. Which is pretty good considering that there was 20 bikes and a couple of the bikes were over 12 years old.
    As far as my missus goes, her only bitch she had all weekend was that with all the vehicles and trailers in the yard she couldn’t mow the lawn!!! What a woman!!!

    BTW Ollie, I dropped into Mud n Tar yesterday and thanked them again for helping you out on Friday and I told them you gave them a good wrap here on the OB site.
