I’ll be there but not riding, not my thing really tried it and sucked at it!!!!!

I got lost twice just getting out of Condo!

Then got stuck at a railway crossing for ages and had to make up a heap of time on the rest of the transport so as not to get a penalty…

I’ll be in the comfort of the van meeting at services for fuel and any repairs.

[ScottMember]

Hmmm could be a number of people… Doesn’t TB have yellow handguards these days????

[ScottMember]

Well done guys I see a few had issues leaving the railway cutting I know the feeling……….

Murph is Amazon getting any easier the more times you ride it?? Or is it constantly changing?
I’m Looking forward to having another crack at it sometime.

From the photo it looks like you are trying to push the pin right through the two crank webs and the big end bearing.

Try holding it behind the crank web that way you are only pushing the pin out of one web.

You need to get it right if your not pressing dead staright the pin can pick up on the way out, basically destroying the web.

[ScottMember]

If you have never rebuilt a crank before I wouldn’t be attempting it.

A quick rundown of how I was taught It has been a while so hopefully I get the steps right
Put it up between centres and see how much run out it has on the bearing surfaces. (This gives you something to work to after you press it back together)
Scribe a line with a rule mark a straight line across the crank webs. (You use this when pressing back together)
You really need a workshop press.
A special jig that supports the crank whilst pressing the pin out.
Press apart
Install new rod and bearing
Align previous scribed marks and press back togther.
Put up between centres and check run out on bearings.
Use a soft hammer and a big block of timber to belt in alignment (Trueing the crank)
Re check between centres
Keep on going until you get in back to what it was before pressing apart or better

As TB said good chance its the clutch adjustment.
I have had the same issue on mine, I was able to use the on the fly adjuster at the lever to get it sorted.

Will be an adventure for sure !!

The Old Glen Innes road is a great ride, we came from the Glen Innes end, there were some pretty scatty gravel corners on the way down but once it flattened out it was great riding feet on the pegs sliding the big girls.

A short tunnel on the way

I do this with my 09 WR 450. With the rear wheel it needs to be laced slightly to the right to stop the chain from hitting the tyre. You need to cut big scallops into your fork guards to give the front tyre clearance and you may need a longer front brake hose if running a bigger front disk, i also run my hose around the outside of the fork leg to the caliper when in motard setup.

Its a little fiddly to fit the wheels compared to the enduro wheels, with mine on the rear I have to remove the chain guide and rear caliper fit the wheel then re fit the chain guide and caliper.

On the front you have to hold your tongue right and try to feed the caliper onto the adaptor plate there is not much room once the front wheel is fitted. I cover my wheel in tape to protect it whilst doing this. For track I run 14.50 gearing for highway cruising 14. 43.

Yeah top ride well worth the drive up. I have been trying to get a ride in up here for some time but the weather kills it most of the time. BIG slippery hills, Nice creeks, slippery logs the ride had everything

Some funny moments I don’t think too many people saw. Me running into the river to save Ev from drowning his bike but in the process going face first into the water. Then standing in the middle of the river helping everyone across I slipped over again and landed on my butt I know Macca saw that one and had a good laugh.

Then after Ev and I helped some guys on a big slippery hill Ev and I jumped on his WR450 as my bike was alot further up the hill. 2 guys on a WR450 on a slippery hill is not a good idea he did well but I ended up slipping off the back of the seat and Ev ended up in the trees!!!

Spent the morning washing the bikes and riding gear and I’ll head back to Sydney tonight.

Thanks evryone for a great day.
