Wazzup,

There’s a few Old Bulls with Kato 350’s now and I’ve heard nothing but good reviews, but you not going to bag your own decision.

Mines just clicked over the 6000k mark (200 hrs, 18 months old) and apart from a clogged fuel filter (now a regular maintenance item) no problems. It’s never let me down, even with the clogged filter it got me home.

It’s also great to ride thats why it’s got so many k’s

Try and get a ride on one, it’s the only way to compare

Tez, being a three year old bike Tez, if you don’t know when they were bleed last it can’t hurt to flush some new fluid through them. Good chance it has the same fluid it left the factory with.

When you say too much travel, how much are we talking? All the way to the bars or just further than your used too. Does the brake feel like its got plenty of progressive power.

The reason I ask is the Brembo on my Husky has a completely different feel to my RMX (like you previously owned).

The RMX has very little travel with a very hard lever feel but the brake has only average stopping power, you could almost call it woody.

In comparison the Husky has a softer, longer throw but it is very progressive with huge amounts of power. 150kg bike with my fat 110kg body is easily and controllably pulled up with one finger.

It’s funny after I have been riding the Husky a bit, when I get on the RMX I find myself overshooting corners till I readjust.

Plus one on this Teza, I felt the same with the DRZ / Kato.

Also the reservour is small and needs a little fluid when the pads wear down a bit. Need to take some back out when you fit new pads too.

Teza Quote “I’m tempted to pach up the old boots and go for a bit of a ride tomorrow and start doing some adjustments.”

Post up the ride and I’m there :woohoo:

We need to read your ride reports with more than one person (you) being on the ride

Nice looking steed :

Snowy,

Kevdogs place is 80k’s south from Brackenridge, less than an hour (nearly all freeway). The forest is a couple of k’s from Kevdogs.

It’s a fun place to ride

Murph you’ve done it again

Great report and photos from you and KTMRules

The ride had the desired effect on Sam

Job well done Murph Much appreciated

PS the photos were strenuous enough for me :whistle: :pinch:

Iva,

I’ve updated the tubliss post.

Adam.

[Adam RodgersMember]

As Iva was inquiring into this topic I thought I’d give an update.

The DRZ which I sold to a mate still has the tubliss setup and as it’s not ridden often or hard it hasn’t had a flat for yonks.

I put a set in my 350 when I changed the tyres so has been at least 1 year now and about 5000k’s.

I found if I ran low pressures like 8 psi in the front I would occasionally get a flat at the rim lock.

This was due to hitting a rock right at the rim lock. You knew it from the wrist jarring knock.

The rim lock in the tubliss system is aluminium. It allows you to put air in the tyre (low pressure area).

I’m running 12psi in the front now and have had no problems or flats since.

I run about 8psi in the rear tyre and haven’t had a rear flat. That goes for the DRZ too it never had a rear flat.

Sam’s 250 has had the tubliss system for the same time as the DRZ and runs his tyres around 12psi front and 8 – 9psi rear, I’ve noticed he has a plug in the rear tyre which is about shagged and a plug in the front as well.

On big rides I may carry a spare tube and this came in handy on Bob’s Neville ride.

I split the front tyre (about an inch long) when I ran up White Rockets arse. :blush: :whistle: :pinch: It was too big to put a patch on so we swapped it with Galey’s tyre which was running a mousse and I put on Galey’s with the spare tube. At lunch time we got a spare tyre and put the system back in.

If there was no option of swapping I would have ridden with the tyre flat (carefully) as it will stay on the beadwith the tubliss system.

Is it easy to live with? Yes. If I get a flat it’s so easy to fix.

I haven’t had a flat in the small inner tube as yet so can’t comment on the degree of difficulty to fix it.
