I have just been catching up on some OBT goodness after being very busy the last month and came across this nugget. Just the sort of http://www.bullshit that drove me off so many other sites and landed me at what was primarily, and continues to be the hard work and dedication of TB. Does this earn respect? I think it does and if it did not exist we would all be the poorer for it. Maybe the future holds great things for us when the kids step up and create their own sites that drive the sport forward and ask for nothing in return. I can not wait for the future launch of fiddlemydiddel.com or mydiddelmysoap.com so that my children can come in over the top and take a swipe. Gotta love progression!

I think you need to do your research before assuming its got anything to do with this site, me, my user name, my age or TB.
Its about riding!
Finding a “nugget” and making an assumption based on that is completely stupid and sent many prospectors broke!

My young fella’s 06 KX85 has close to 200 hrs on it………….still has the original piston and rings in it. Still starts easy and still goes like the clappers. I am happy with the green machines, at the races you never see me at the start line kicking the guts out of a Kwaka that wont go.Why the contempt for Kwaka’s Dave?

Dave quote those hrs for you Mick using the same calculator he used for his 1.2 million kms :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Jokes outa the way :laugh:

I dont doubt the work this bike has done it has done a bloody lot its a great bike and its ridden a hell of a lot and at a fair pace now days. The piston wouldnt have been replaced probably as much because of the mayors maintance program and purse strings then for any better reason :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously that’s the equivalent of being ridden for 5 full working weeks 8hrs a day five days a week for 5 weeks :ohmy:
If he rode at an average speed of 25kms/hr he would have ridden 5000kms :ohmy: That is like Sydney to Melbourne and back to Sydney and back to Melbourne and back to Sydney and back to Melbourne and back to Tarcutta :ohmy:
The spec’s say they have a 6 litre tank, let say it does 120kms for a tank of fuel that means it has had 250 litres of fuel through it :ohmy: and at say $1.20 a litre ( for say high octane premium if the mayor runs that, more likely used cooking oil from the fish and chip shop ) that’s around $300 of fuel :ohmy:

Thats a good run from it. My question Mick is how did a thread about kick starting a 650 four stroke turn out to be about your sons 65 two smoker :laugh: :laugh:

I had a leccy start,yeah it was handy but I still went back to a kicker, It wasnt one of the things that I placed to much emphasis on. I still wouldnt kick start an XR650 barefooted!! Do they ever Kickback? ala DT250/PE400 :ohmy:

Funny that you should go to all that trouble researching this and that, to discredit my statement on how many hours the KX has done and you cant get the bikes cc right. :laugh:

How the topic of the KX came about was when Dave slagged off Kawasakis.

B.O.T now.

UUmmmmm I didnt discredit your post Devon ol mate it says very clearly “I dont doubt the work this bike has done”
The rest was just an example of what 200hrs is, and in case someone was thinking my kids KX85 has done 200hrs without say an hour meter or an idea you know what I mean Mick I would hate for someone to be laughed at for 1.2 million reasons :laugh:

And by the way this thread, well I think it is the topic now :laugh: as per OBT
