I just heard the forcast for saturday,is 35 degrees to hot to ride?

[Adrian LeeMember]

I love the sound of wet,slippery and muddy.Down here in mexico its about 35 degrees,dry and very dusty.it sounds like you guys had a great ride but then again i dont think theres such a thing as a bad ride,as long as everyone makes it back safe.

It’s worth noting that sorting suspension doesn’t have to cost the big dollars. Sure to do it properly and have it super smooth whilst still taking big hits is great, but it can be sorted reasonably well for considerably less.

I had my rear spring changed on my 450 for a firmer version and a bit more oil added to the front forks. This work alone would cost around $150 if you did the oil top up yourself.

I rode my bike round for a whole with it like that and my only major issue was the bottoming of the forks on slow hard landings. I mainly do grade 3-6 rides so I am quite sure the suspension is getting a work out.

It is better to get it done properly, but if you don’t have the cash (having just splashed out on a bike) then this can be a viable alternative…at least for the short term

PS – I weigh 96Kg.

96kg your a big boy moto ! How tall are you?

Finally found the link for the proposed track closures. I see the Wombat has some tracks included.

As for Paddys, its not as bad as first thought. The main areas they are closing follow the creek.

there are always track closures at Wombat but the place is so big you can always work around it.

Just a thought Ado,

if your worried about leaving the key at home and your converting to a button, why not just leave the key in it with a bit of lock wire to keep it there (meaning you can still turn the key but it wont fall out)

no doubt about it jak your an ideas man :laugh: The main reason i really wanted to do this is because i had the part in my spares kit and i was actually excited about being able to do a mod to my bike myself.

[Adrian LeeMember]

Welcome to the site mate,where are you from? Hopefully your an auto elec from the N/W suburbs of victoria :laugh: :laugh:

[Adrian LeeMember]

First i was worried about what to do with the plugs for the indicator display,whether they could be taped or had to be disconected.Sorted that and when i went to do the change over i noticed that my heated grips have been cut into the ignition lead.I have never tried anything like this before so im in very foreign terriortory here.

[Adrian LeeMember]

Change the key ignition to a button.
