Thanks guys
As I spend a fair bit of my ride time wallowing in bog holes :unsure: their like a magnet for me :whistle:
I’ll look at sintered
Interesting to see the comments on the SBS pads, I’ll give them a go :cheer:
Adam.
I have a couple of Trail Tech’s version of the same thing. They work fine although I haven’t measured their accuracy, not that I need to know exact revs anyway
Adam.
TB Happy Birthday have a great day
Still a little way to go up before its all down hill
Adam.
Unit,
Any bike can boil but usually DRZ’s are one of the last to go in a group. Get your mate to check his coolant mix ratio (might as well flush it while he’s at it) and put a new radiator cap on. A 50 / 50 mix and a 105 kpa cap lifts the boiling point to around 137 degrees. Thumpertalk have a good section on DRZ issues to keep an eye on too

Action
I’ve had a look at the manual as its been a while since I’ve had the side cover off, and the stator attatches to the inside of the cover towards the middle of the cover. The only part that is near the cover in the damaged area is the flywheel. If its not rubbing then you should be good. If you turn the motor over (counterclockwise) with a socket through the hole in the middle of the cover you should be able to hear any rubbing noises. Seal the area with the epoxy but don’t build it up too much, leaving an area for the silicone or polyurethane sealant you use for the case saver. It will give you some buffer for when you bash in the case saver
My case savers had copped a bit of a pounding so I took them off for some panel beating and underneath was all good so they work
I hammered them back into shape and glued them back on, its a bugger to get all the silicone off though :unsure:I’ll PM you my number if you have any dramas give me a call
Action
I have put the brake lever thru the other side
$150 for a new clutch cover :angry: I’m guessing the flywheel side would be more :ohmy:Get yourself a manual eg Clymer they give a step by step description of what you need to do
It will also help you with general maintenance of the bike.
If you have been riding with the crack and the oil is only seeping out then use an epoxy metal repair product (same as you would use as an emergency repair on the trails) and then when you get your case savers glue them on over the repair. I’m figurering if the damage was servere you would already know but a picture would be good
Adam
Lotsa,
Last time I was up there Sam showed us some new singles as well
We’ll have to pool resources, and I know a couple of tracks that could use a cleanup too (possibly the same)
Adam.
My bad
I would have been up for this one but noticed it too late
Maybe next time Lotsa

I thought a ride would clear the head :dry: very very wrong :laugh:When I came down to help you and got a wiff of the smell I thought you may still have been under the influence :sick:
And judging by that riding you were :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome Coxy,
Most if not all Old Bulls come off at one time or another,
some more than others :whistle:However Ev must be going for some kind of record, 1 so close to the start and 2 taking someone with him :laugh:
Hope they didn’t scare you off any more Old Bull rides :laugh:
Hope Ev and Macca are all good for the 3rd :ohmy:
Adam.

Kram
I would say that too but that would be the pot calling the kettle black :blush: :whistle:
Happy birthday anyway,
and I’ll join you in Kram’s shout since he’s offering :laugh:Adam.

Laymans terms folks: have just enough air in your tyres so they slightly bulge when you sit on the big. I rarely use a pressure gauge.
Action – buy a front tyre that has nice sharp knobs. I have used Pirelli Scorpion MX Mid Soft, MX Extra and Dunlop 756 and MX 51.
I read more of the post and someone had posted a photo that gave a good idea
However I think your method will achieve the same results :cheer:Action before you do anything, if you haven’t already, REPLACE YOUR SPOKES :ohmy: :ohmy: They were as loose as they could be without having catastrophic failure :whistle:
Lefty wrote:Thats the way Mick. Tuy just need to make sure the inner doesn’t shatter and take your eye out. :ohmy: Cause thats not fun. Wear safety glasses.Lefty’s right
Confusing I know :laugh:You should wear safety glasses when hitting any metal object, I had a splinter of steel off the head of a nail hit my eye years ago and had a trip to hospital to have it removed
Not a pleasant experience :sick:
Adam.
Ouch
Get well soon
How long are you off the bike? :dry:
Hard to be a ride whore when you can’t ride :whistle:
:laugh:Adam.
