    It was never in doubt mate,
    He`s apparently from the ACT and there is a pic of the rescue and now pics of his silver Strom on the rocks online on ADV forum :whistle:

    It didn`t catch fire, but that`s probably all it`s good for now :pinch:

    Yeah guys,
    A day on the bike is 1000 times better than a day at work Or shimming valves ;)

    That was my last ride for a month as I`m finally heading off to Maryborough at the end of this week.
    Then Easter is here for the usual run to Nundle I think (without the bike again)

    I might do a couple more days like this when I`m back, just poking around some old trails, seeing what`s out there and the condition of the local forest ,,,
    Might even have an overnight campout out there somewhere and see if I can dodge the wildlife 😆

    Cheers

    Valve clearances are fine so don’t go there.

    At least you can admit defeat there Snowy :P

    Sounds exactly like my old Kwaka shim job I did a few years back.
    You will be surprised at how easy the damn thing starts after whacking the shims in, she will start as soon as you go near the magic button B)

    No idea why you need to wait for” Shims” !!!
    There`s an over abundance of those type that ride with you isn`t there ????? :sick: :P

    Good luck with the install mate, My hint is to let Damus do it for ya …

    Cheers

    If you can fall that far and survive on your trail bike, I will be surprised :laugh:

    They reckon old mate fell 70m, I think it`s most likely higher than that and the rocks where he landed are huge :pinch:

    There is a pic on ADV and one of the inmates apparently has access to a vid as well ,,,

    And HE reckons the clearances are “FINE” Buzz :whistle:

    The old Kwaka 250 was doing similar and the clearances were ever so slightly out on exhaust side. Still within spec on intake side but would take 4-5 seconds cranking to start when cold, then fine when warmed .

    Check then Snowy if you haven`t already,,, could most likely be the problem afterall mate B)

    Loose connection on starter motor?

    That is not good to have anyone giving any suppliers attitude :angry:
    I don`t suppose you can even ban the guy if he didn`t activate his account in the first place ?? :laugh:

    Still feel bad for Janice(& Steve) though, I have always only even received great service and read about dozens of others receiving the same across multiple forums ;)
