    What’s his spot address Eagle? I seem to have lost it.

    I passed a bloke on a Ten today around Jerrys Plain, may have been him.

    Just heard this tip and it sounds like a good one ;)

    Has anyone done this ?

    The night before your ride get a zip tie or something similar and tie your front brake lever on. The pressure from the brake being applied over a number of hours will force any air out of the fluid and will give you a firm feeling front brake instead of a spongy one.

    The bloke I bought the Husberg off reccomended doing that. He reckoned that if I didn’t the brake would get spongy when transporting the bike in the ute. I did it a few times then forgot about it, can’t say I noticed any difference. Then again a gumby ride like me wouldn’t e able to tell anyway :D

    in reply to: Sticker Disappointment #226977

    From what I have heard it used to be the Husky’s that had sticker trouble if memory serves.

    I have used silastic in the past. Use some white spirit or something to clean off the dirt, even if you have to peel them back a bit more then apply some silastic and wipe off the excess. You may need to hold it down until it goes off as well.

    Silastic will stick to just about anything, I remember an apprentices toolbox being stuck to the concrete floor at work a few years ago, we just about destroyed the thing trying to get it off.

    If that fails I have also used a stanley knife to trim off the offending section.

    Keep up the good work ladies and stay safe.

    in reply to: Jeffro’s XTZ660 Tenere Engine Rebuild #226822

    When I picked the bike up from Lefty I rode it home getting fuel at Colo on the way. I did 222km before refueling it and it took 12.5 litres which works out at 5.63l per 100km.

    After I put the other carby on I rode it o friday and did 235km on a variety of roads and trails, I refueled it today and it took 11.4 litres wich wokrs out at 4.85l/100km.

    Although it’s not a perfect test as I didn’t ride the same roads and trails as last time and I also varied the throttle a lot more last time running it in on the open sections, that should give me around 350km per tank.
