Yeah, you did miss it!! :laugh:

It was posted under the pic of the house. That’s why I didn’t PM it.

Anyhow, doesn’t matter. Here it is again.

We are meeting at Timbertown at 8am Saturday morning and will travel in convoy up to the property.
I decided that it would be easier that way, instead of having you all wandering the country side like Brown’s Cows. :laugh:

That should see us all up there at about 8.30am.

Dang :pinch:

Cheers agian

:blush: oh yeah, yes it’s an xr 400. & thanks for the link but they didn’t seem to have it there either (unless they’re caring it somethimg else) there is reference to general sized engine bolts for torque so I’ll give rock a call and go with 39 Nm.
Cheers all !!

Hey B.W what is the condition of your oil ? if its full of metal shill maybe you will. Best bet would be to pull the clutch out and check for fibre thickness, and steel plate bluing (overheating). With a cable clutch you should have 1.5 mm of freeplay at the lever.
hope this helps
Ollie

Yep checked the oil with a sieve found one 1 bit of steel about the 1/3 size of a match head n no alloy from what I could see., Thanks Ollie.
Clutch: friction plates thickness all at the top of the service limit as per the book, clutch plates also as per the book and springs too.
Got the hylomar ready but there are no Torque specs for the pressure plate spring bolts (5 of). Any one recommend torque setting or where too find em… not real keen to do my own “trail mod” is all Sorry Moto :blush:
Cheers B.W.

I have just come back from up there this morning and there is a pretty sketchy bit on the road into the property. A 4×4 will be a great idea.[/quote]

Hey Mic, is the 4WD requirement a ground clearance issue or muddy soupy road issue? And if its the latter especially will the forecast of sunshine over the week be enough to dry it all out? just worried about the ability of the car (2wd) & trailer gettin there

Cheers Ollie, have just dropped the oil out and replaced the frame and engine plugs with the magnetic jobbies from Rock, will have a look at the oil and cross my fingers

What Was the upshot with the stickers ????

It’s a terrible feeling when your stuff gets pinched. :angry: :sick:

In the hope that it helps I’ve put the feelers out in round here after I heard of a strange (coincidence) word of mouth ad for a v-cheap 450 with “new plastics”. Might be nothing, but worth a look into.

See if I can find out more for ya.

Hey? whats this about a BBQ? :huh:
Put me down for that too please

BW :whistle:

[Leo.CMember]

To Resurrect this topic a bit, I haven’t worn armour up until this point, but with so many of you blokes going on the Xmas and coffs rides i think I should. Are there any armoured pressure suits except for the ACERBIS COSMO (with that stupid half jacket system) that fit with LEATTs with little or no mod?

OR

Are armoured pressure suits a bit of overkill for trail riding with the kidney belts and all and something like the hard plastic roost guard better? I know a fair wack of em are LEATT compatible
Any thoughts ?

Cheers BW

P.S.
Anyone tried out the 4PB Body Armour? Looks the goods+cheap+Sponsor+Aussie!!!= a goer?

[Leo.CMember]

Hey Boony, could you add me to the list too please, i’ll give everyday a shot :blink: .
I’ll be throwing the swag down my bike can have the tent
Looking forward to it
Cheers
