thought maybe Santa couldn’t find me in Sydney,maybe left it at home to surprise me. Got home last night ran in side looked under the tree nothing
now I have lost all faith in Santa

Well what did you expect Mate, you ride a Yamaha, he rides a Honda :blink: :blink: :blink:

there’s that TM jetting thing right there, i tend to disagree with my learned comrades on this point, all of my bikes since the late eighties once the jetting is sorted for the season have never fou;ed a plug, and while the warm-up is a personal thing I tend to not leave thechoke on past several seconds and then just a fast idle until I can feel warmth in the radiators, then all set to go.
Caveat, about three years ago the 300 fouled a plug on a really humd warm winters day after 40 mintues in goat trail s/T, never did it again as the weather was the anomaly, even the wr450s and CRF450s I was riding with were running rough that day.

the TM has crankcase induction like some of the bikes of yore in my experience they are a bit more touchy on selection of idle jet/needle combo due to the increase vacuum signal.

Yes what he says is the go
Get it sorted and you wont have the issue again
Right again Mr Blue
cant wait to sit and chew the fat with you my friend…..one day…..one day

It had belray in it and I mixed motorex in it today and it ran great.
thanks for that guys

I dinged the chamber pretty good today but it doesn’t seem to have lost power.
Murph will post pics in the ride report.

another tip for 2 strokers is to make sure you dont stall the bike when its warming up – I did and it fouled the plug and we couldn’t start it and had to put a fresh plug in.

Get the jetting right and this will never happen again, I am still running the same plugs in 2 KTM 65’s and 2 KTM 85’s that have been there for years and this never happens, I would dive into the pilot jet and try leaning it off a tad

Mate it depends on the brand of oil, some oils will sediment out and need to be shaken back up and they are good to go, others will start to strip the chain of oils down and have a shelf life, others will last indefinitely , the biggest thing is to know your brand of oil and its specific requirements, as a general rule synthetics are not as stable as minerals, stick with a good brand and it will all be good, I have used for trail riding Castrol TTS with no dramas for years as well as Motul 800 on all our race bikes for years with no dramas as well, on of the most pivotal things is to get the jetting right(suited to your fuel/oil ratio) and you wont have issues, good luck

Bill we May have to take out a spare pink cup from the many we have for him, I saw the last time he had a cuppa he tried to be a Man and have it in a normal coloured one,

TB I agree with Bull this is some of the finest Truthful investigative reporting I have seen from you, but I still think he will fall off it somehow,

Remember Puds……..The big man is everywhere………………Sees everything

I dont know where your capri is Fester, but after I take photos of my one I will be happy to take photos of yours and send them to you, but first you gotta tell me where yours is…….. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously, I have been real busy mate and will get there soon, I am actually at Bulls all the time and dont have the camera with me mostly, but it will happen.

[DavidMember]

I am glad your boy liked it so much when he was riding it, and yes the little thing ripped after the the Rat Sack treatment, the next owner will get good service out of this bike, of that I am certain

Listen Dopey you could crash and bleed out within the half hour plus the time your wife takes to find you Do you mean do as I say not as I do :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Your right Dave, just a hard delivery :laugh: :laugh:

TB

Yes TB I am known for Hard deliveries
Maybe Mr Blue’s line
“Strucky has had good luck, from bad luck as a result of poor risk control, I am sure he has learnt an extremely timely lesson, between that and the plethora of dirtbike deaths this year I am sure he has taught all here something.”
Would have been better but the message is the same
Now all I have to work on is delivering something else hard :laugh:

Well,that puts me in the idiot basket too. I rode to the top of Bago on my own on Sunday arvo to have a sit and think session whilst looking at the awesome view.
I will admit that I was riding pretty slowly looking for single trails that I would normally hoon past. Found a beauty too.

You really want to go there Mick
I could say
you ride a honda
but I wont

[DavidMember]

Moto a vast majority of the traing riding was done in the 30,000 acre backyard, with closed private tracks and if I dint come around every 30 mins or so the wife would come looking and I would then be found , usually in a heap with a broken bike or body, and yes Moto I never have and never will ride alone, other than transporting a broken bike back to the car via main route known to all in the ridegroup, and even that has caused some grief to me a few times, but allways the route is known by others just in case
Sorry Moto try harder mate

Also Moto I have gone through all my logs and need to tell you that my total is not 1.25 but in fact 1.1, when I was tallying up the 25 odd books I rounded off everything and it was not accurate, one day I may like you enough to show you them all, but your huge efforts at the pony express have not earned you enough respect to be shown yet

[DavidMember]

Tough luck Strucky, rest it up and all will come good real soon,( thats it for the sympathy ),

but me telling you you are a dickhead for going out alone will haunt you for a long long long time, like every time I see you at work for at least 12 months,
mate I thought you had more sense than that, when you traded the dinosaur I said to myself you finally had shown some brains and now this….what a F@ckwit act that was,

you are real lucky the injury let you move still, what if you had hurt something real bad and couldnt move, you would still be there, and the media would be saying how dumb dirtbike riders are,
and all these old bulls that have commented on it and have all conveniently not mentioned you being alone- I dont know what to say about that, Maybe they dont really care as much ,
well buddy be prepared for it next time I see you, and I will make sure the workplace knows how stupid you are so they can give you curry when I am gone.
NEVER RIDE ALONE, it real basic stuff, NEVER EVER RIDE ALONE
I think I will call you Lucky Strucky…….No thats too nice…..Stupid Idiot Lucky Strucky…..doesn’t rhyme but more apt

Last bit of sympathy
Mate get well soon so I can ride with you sometime on your new stead, what a way to spend Christmas mate, if you need any knee supports, I have all the range at work, I will give you one
