Have a great weekend peeps,,, I`m sucking shit again stuck home by the looks of things :whistle:

Aimed more at TB the closet KTM owner though,,,, as you would have been aware :laugh:
Ringmaster make a good product, as you know with the quality of the stuff that was on your Yammy
:laugh: :laugh:
I do all mine myself ACE,,,Takes me about 45 mins to do both usually, no hurry . Also good practice for if & when you get a flat on the trail and have to do it on the dirt with less gear. :S
Have learnt a few tricks along the way :whistle:
1.Warm the new tyres in the sun if possible
2.Run the old ones with valve stem removed or real low pressure if possible to warm them up & help loosen the bead. Depends on the type & brand of tyre, some are bastards to get off, others not so bad
I imagine the ones on the rear of the 800 are pretty firm in the sidewalls :S
3.I use an old rear tyre on the floor as a stand, some guys have a couple of old tyres strapped together to get more height, or make a home made stand from an old car rim. Really saves the rim and brake disc from damage too,,, Or buy a change stand from Suttos
4.Grab some more levers,,,, I have 6, longer ones are better to have at home.
5.Use rim protectors (plastic doovers that sit between rim & lever) I use bits of rubber cut to fit
6. I use a spray bottle of soapy water or rub liquid soap around the bead with my fingers to help the new tyre slip on
7. Use talcum powder insde the tyre and on the new tube to enable movement there as wellAny more tips needed ????? :whistle:
Best tip of all,,,,,,,,GET TB TO FIT THEM :silly:
He loves doing it :silly:Rego`d vehicles only Alex, it is a ride from Stockton to Newy Foreshore to deliver toys, donations to the Salvation Army dropoff area. Many of the participants dress in XMAS cheer, decorate their bikes, take kids as pillions and strap toys to their bikes as well.
I think there were close to 10,000 bikes last year and $75000 raised
It is a national event with dates in different locations (some coincide like Newy & Port Macquarie & tamworth last year)http://www.toyrun.org.au/index.php?page=newcastle
Last year some of us met on the Industrial Hwy and rode in together, meeting FourtyFour on the last road into Stockton,,
Will most likely do similar this year,, meet point & time will be announced closer to the day for those interested in tagging along as a group.Was a decent day last year mate,,, except it was near 38 degrees and overheating bikes in a line A DOZEN WIDE trying to get out of Stockton for 45 mins :whistle: :S
Think I will be doing it again though, will let you know in about a week
We can run the Reindeer Antlers on the bikes or something for a laugh hey ??? My in laws used to have a Santa suit, not sure where it ended up :blink:
Cheers
