    G’day fellow enthusiasts;
    I have just completed changing the old XL500 from bush hack to adventure bike.
    Slightly better suited to this application.
    The list of changes/improvements include;-
    10.5 piston
    All new valves
    Bimetal gaskets for the cylinder and head
    Trail Wing tyres, the only ones with 23″dia.
    16T front to 39T rear sprockets
    Small screen to keep some of the wind off.
    Just need a Gel seat pad, to stop the dreaded sore bum issue. (Seat’s Crap)
    Cruise 110k/hr which is not fast, but the brakes are less than spectacular so it’s enough.
    Well back to it.
    Later.

    Good work Gazza B) Those 23 ” wheels were a brilliant idea wernt they :laugh: My dad had the 81 XL250SA I wore the paint off the tank from always pulling wheelies up the Rd. I agree better on the rd than the trails.

    Changed my first ever set of tyres today :P To say I am stoked with the outcome would be an understatement. I know it sounds lame by comparison to what others do to their bikes around here but for me it was milestone and a new trick learnt ;)

    I even resisted the temptation of squeezing the brakes with the wheels off :laugh: :laugh:

    Good onya James for having a go mate.
    It is a good and necessary skill that you will be happy to have if the need arises to do a change out on the trail mate :whistle:

    Did all your knuckles survive unscathed ??? I did a few in my first couple of times :laugh:

    I whacked a new front sprocket on the 690 this arvo and checked the rear and chain etc ready for next weekend if we get the gren light ;)

    New Master cylinder kit in the 5 hungey
    Now I just need some brake fluid to see if it works. :pinch:
    Cheers
