I tell you what, on the B’day weekend I ended up with a half a dunny roll in a zip lock bag. Fark chamois (tried it), this was the go. Clean and dry + cheap! Just shove the used stuff down yer pants (save it for later … no it looks bad just dumping it in the bush).

[AlexMember]

Well that’s a pretty good outcome considering Mike. Good stuff.

Hey Rocket, I have some bushes that will fit. Got them ages ago as spares.

[AlexMember]

I have the same one. When you park it dont loosen it off too far so it rattles. You feel it go a bit “limp” below 2nm. Thats far enough.
My last torque wrench was last used as I was tightening up the drain bolt on the Patrol diff. My wife walked in and said those infamous words: “I think my waters just broke”. The torque wrench sat at specified torque settings (high) for about 2 weeks before I found it under the car. Ooops.

Honda 2T I would buy one too if registered. Pigs will never fly.
An adapter plate for the caliper would do it Ollie?

[AlexMember]

How many 2T bikes have an oil pump Moto? (oil injection aside)

… and a counter balancer?

[AlexMember]

It obviously a 4T. What bike is it? Jetting issue or riding it like it’s stolen until it locks up (like any 4T should)?

I’m still coming Bob and LC. If it’s really cold there in the morning can we call you a Bobsicle?
WRocket is travelling with me.
Best trails in the central west? Big call that.
Menace, you are just that. I’m still pissing myself.
I’m all set. Just need more fitness lose weight and get uninterrupted sleep and ill be unstoppable.

There is a reason that the Orange and Berg bikes are lighter, lighter materials and less of them. You can make your own mind up about the robustness of the design, there are lots of differing stories out there.

Moto was brutally honest there, thanks Moto. Love it.

I mentioned one bolt only. Notorious for being a problem since 1998. If the owner uses a torque wrench correctly (like the nice Kingchrome ones currently on special) when servicing their Katoberg there will never be an issue. It’s not a HQ Holden right. It’s a race bike built for competition.

I personally don’t bother using the oil level sight bolt. I drain the oil and pour in the correct amount (700ml I think). Done.

Allen key for you handguards.
Phillips SD for the air bleeders on your forks.
Chain breaker to fix broken chain.
Spare chain link joiner.
Flat head SD to adjust your air screw.
Old allen key ground down to a square shape to fit in the power valve dolly.
Old spanner that fits the drain plug on the carbie to drain the water out of there when you drown it.
Spare R clips for brake caliper pin clips (or tie wire)
Old 35mm negative to clean your fork seals when oil starts pissing out of WP forks (isnt that rare?!)
Tube valve removal tool and spare valves (tyre tubes)
Tie wire up both ends of your throttle cable so when a branch grabs it you wont do a Bat out of Hell impersonation.
File or grind the foot brake teeth closest to the clutch cover so when you drop it on that side it wont hole you clutch cover.
Extend the hose breather on the power valve cover so when you wash your bike next the water wont find the breather and make your gbox oil go grey.
When you get tired of cleaning the mud from your airbox or are unlucky enough to drown it in a water filled rut, use bicycle inner tube or similar in all the joins around rear guard and airbox.
Next time you drain your gbox oil be aware of the oil level bolt is in thin magnesium and will strip unless you tighten it with a girl grip.

Set up a poll on whether Bob should be banned for this thread. Let the people decide.

After that perhaps a memorial service or minute silence for those like “old moto” in the banned for life section.

[AlexMember]

As above.
Good idea riding on the back of a 4WD (so to speak) petition. The general public can stomach 4WDs more than dirt bikes nowdays. Give access to 4WDs generally opens doors to us.

[AlexMember]

Yep that’s definately a Dunlop 756 front tyre that.

[AlexMember]

Burn them all!

[AlexMember]

Great to see the jokes are back again

[AlexMember]

Aha. So which would you prefer I show up with? An orange finely tuned weapon, or a Gay Yamaha?
