You obviously know me or who I am anyway. Paid a high price for trying to practice the home track. We have thought about pairing up the over 35’s. I’ll ask around and see what others think. May not be a bad idea. We certainly need to look at ways of getting people out of c grade. The top 3 or 4 teams will be forced into B grade this year. From memory once they go up it will even the fields pace up a lot and give everybody a chance. The only reason over 35’s was solo before was lack of numbers. I’ll get back to you.

I just saw where you’re from. You put in a big effort just to get there. Very keen!

Thanks Alan. Trying to get my memory straight. Was it you who rode with Eric at Goanna Tracks as well.

I know what you mean. I seem to have lost most of last year to a broken wrist.

Don’t worry I’ve only used the bike once since then too. Very Sad. Going to Blues this weekend though. Sorry for the hijack.

Thanks for that. I will have to try some new settings or at least check what I’ve got. I’ve just had a local bloke do my forks and change the shims (not that I pretend to understand what that is). I think it changes the flow rate of the oil or something along those lines. It has made it a lot plusher but I still have a bit of fiddling to do with the clickers yet.

I was interested in your manual. The manual I got with my bike is crap. The one I had with my wr had enough info in it for me pull the whole motor apart (in 25 different languages). In the ktm one (all 25 odd pages) it is lucky to tell you where the oil drain plug is. Sounds like yours is more detailed than mine. Is it just the standard one or did you get a more detailed version from somewhere else.

I know what you’re saying. It’s all about the bling. My reading between the lines took that to mean that all the bikes are that good and equal in ability that the only thing that you need to set them apart is which one looks the best to you.

I’m only about a stone behind (under) you in the weight department so there’s only a couple of good meals difference there. Maybe I should sheck my sag too. They said they did it for me in the pre sale service but I have never checked (2500km later). I think on my old wr it was around 25mm static and 110mm rider. Are the ktm’s the same.

Are there static/rider sag measurements for the forks as well. I assume changing the preload could effect these.

Moto,

Interested to know why you changed the shock spring. Is the 09 the same as the 10. I haven’t had any issues with my 09. In saying that a mate of mine just bought an 10 400 and he had to upgrade the spring too. He is by no means what you would consider heavy. No jockey either, I would guess 80-90kg dry. Maybe the 10’s have gone a lighter spring or maybe I’m just not fussy enough.

I read this article a few days ago (well the one page summary of it anyway as I am also a believer in that whoever pays the most gets the win) and what seemed a bit odd to me was that if the ktm was so much better why was it the (or one of the) least preferred bikes to ride on the track. Even though it had topped several of the criteria before that. I also thought having a score for looks was a load of crap. Who cares and it is a personal thing.

I know it’s too late for consideration.

That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for womankind.

[RoyMember]

I’ll be there too. No excuse really as it is just up the road. It is excellent riding. Hopefully I can manage to be in front of the monster rock throwing kwaka though.
