What did you do to your bike today?

[Mick DMember]

Crashed it ………… again……… :blush:

[aprilMember]

Took Antonio to the doctors (put the Husky in at the mechanic)

Leaking rear brake master cylinder
Missing front radiator guard :blush:
Mode switch being installed so I can decrease the power when I don’t need it.
F*&I(NNG clutch being stripped completely and if all else fails a ktm one being put on! Going to try and change piston in mount, hopefully that makes it lighter.

oh and bit of free play being put on throttle… :blush: brain to hand co-ordination still crap :whistle:

You shouldn’t let your bike fall off the stand when you are warming it up

I let the air out of my forks, lubed the chain and its ready for a Thursday arvo session.

Thanks for reminding me Matt, and pointing out my stupidity to everyone else. :silly:

At least it was soft mud and didn’t break the lever this time.

Just headed down to the garage to change my front brakes pads …. this was the first time … not that confident on the tools so had done a bit of research was all set ready to go … then noticed my fork seal is leaking DANG IT!!

After my little come off up in Werrikimbe, I had a bent brake pedal on the XR. Thanks to the brake snake it wasn’t bent too badly but bent none the less.

I had visions of using a heat gun to warm up the cast alloy a little and bend it back into shape but took TB’s advice instead and did a cold bend on it and it worked a treat.

I then made a new brake snake, this time using wire trace instead of 200lb Jinkai marlin trace.

hi micknmeld just a quick question about the brakesnake wouldnt it be better to use the marlin [nilon ?] trace compared to wire trace as it gives abit more ,if the snake is to ridgeid wouldnt it put alot of stress on your bash plate [ bolts ]

Nice work mate!
Do want to sell a pair of those and do you think you could get away with 15mm?

STM

[Ben GuestMember]

Hey STM

Yep could sell a set no worries. They would come with pins and spacers also.
I will give them a good test on Saturday on some tree stumps and rocks first.
I think 15mm would fit ok.

Lets see you them work first.

I reckon she’ll be right Wolfie, those Whipps bash plates for the XR650 are pretty tough. I think the brake pedal will flatten before it will pull the bash plate bolts. That bash plate has taken some serious knocks in the past.
