March 27, 2013 at 8:17 am #238783I did not do this today but lap 5 of the Transmoto on Sunday. I had a massive digger and was so pumped up on adrenaline I did not even notice how bent my front end was until Spud mentioned it looked crooked on the trailer on the way home :ohmy:

March 27, 2013 at 8:26 am #227460ouch how much bent
March 27, 2013 at 8:49 am #238786I looked at my air filter after the Transmoto 12 hour and tried to decide if it was salvageable

It was and the carbie boot was pristine , another tick for Motul air filter oil

March 27, 2013 at 9:33 am #227461Have a policy here if your got a problem, fix it yourself. My daughters PW80 got a rear flat, she put it on the blocks and got the axel nut off but couldn’t get the axel out. Axel was rusted in but got it out. Usual problem in that the tyre wall had rubbed through the tube. She had a go so happy to fix it.
March 27, 2013 at 9:37 am #238787brought some wheel bearings will put them in oneday

Don’t get me started Nickj, the young bloke did an oil filter change on his CRF250 but squashed the seal when he put it back on. After a days ride and a major oil leak instead of taking it off and looking he just tightened the bolt a bit more when he seen the oil leak. Broken bolt hmmmmm.
