Did you guys do that trail down the hill into that snotty gully opposite the quarry?

Yep sure did. The little Ktm loved it, there was a fair amount of carnage on the uphill at the end.

Too hot for that one mate but we do one similar

[glennMember]

Let’s just say I was very frustated and binned the bike tore the headlight shroud off which in turn made a wire short out and I blew a fuse. I was. Sweeping and when a rider constantly falls off on small logs in a thick,humid and bloody hot rain forest even I can lose it. Replaces rhe fuse and all was good.

That is one fine looking bike mate, I keep thinking that them cows you round up must be getting mighty fast these days, to make you buy a bike with the same power as the space shuttle. Looking forward to finally riding with you again. See you tomorrow arvo champ,just tape your hands to the bars mate and all will be good.

To be honest the Crf 450 I had at my place scared the life out of me and as an average trail rider I think I would need the flywheel weights or anything available to calm it down.
It was however set up by Johnny Campbell to race Baja !!!

( no mallous taken Boony , only joking mate )

Ignore them Bollocks and throw some flywheel weights on it. Promise you it will make the world of difference, same power output just more manageable trust me

My bike got a wash at Bellingen :laugh:

If your having valve issues buy a WR :laugh:

Boony has got one for his Goat not his bike :ohmy: sorry Bob, you have confused a exhaust bung with a butt plug.

You would think it would be feasible to stop all of the above, dust ,water ,rain .hot air , cold air ,wasps ,mice , also would inhibit people from throwing bottletops in there as this then becomes a oh&s issue as they fire out at a rather fast pace and could hurt someone don’tbthey lc(this bit was just to keep it valid in the tech help section)

plain english Boony no need to be politically correct

and why woul it put anymore or less “strain” on the out put shaft that is all to do with chain tension :huh:

i just feel that the forces created from a smaller diameter sphere against the forces that would be generated from a slightly,although not greatly larger diameter sphere would be greater due to the increase ratio requiered to produce the needed final drive of your motorcycle.. Thus when a smaller sprocket is used on the output shaft it could nearly make the motor work a touch more compared to a larger sprocket. The roll over angle of the drive chain as it circumfrences the smaller 13 tooth sprocket will definatly shorten the life of the drive chain compared to if the chain was rolling around a 14 tooth sprocket. tighter circle more wear.

i’ve got a 13 so its going on

see what happens as to wether it stays on or not

Bob,,it is good to see you have ellected to place the smaller option sprocket on the output shaft of your motorbike, please consider the extra wear this may place on your chain along with the probably strain on the output shaft. yamaha are a nice motor cycle but It really would be disappointing if you compromised the performance by the incorrect selection of chain drive sprocket. I appreciate your radical riding style would require the bike to be performing at its optimun at all times. please go back through the post and this may help you reconsider your choice,,or maybe your choice is the right one.

Good luck with the outcome,

see you on the trails champ!!
