Does anyone have an idea exactly how many km’s we did for the weekend??

Do you have any photos of the repairs you require?

Are XR frames chrome molly steel or thick walled mild steel?

[MalMember]

That come up real nice STM. Muc-Off works a treat hey.

Did you get the car care kit too? Keen to know how it goes.

Possible things to do and see in Sydney for Mexicans.

Harbour Bridge climb Here . Well worth doing for the veiw and the engineering of the 1930s

The Rocks Here Shopping for the girls and the old buildings and history. Water taxis run from Darling Harbour around to the Rocks all day.

The Queen Victoria Builbing Here Pay the credit card before sending the girls here Aido. Fantastic old building with heaps of flash shops. Some really nice jewlery shops too . The mono rail goes right past the QVB.

Centre Point Tower Here just because it’s there and a good view from the top.

I’m sure others will post up some more places to go for your family Aido.

It’ll be good to meet another Mexican, the first one I met from here wasn’t a bad bloke. :laugh:

That’s better Chris. Works good now.

You got some good photos mate thanks.

[MalMember]

Yeah sounds like a plan. Train rides suck so we’ll have to break the trip up. :laugh:

[MalMember]

Hatto – great job with the videos mate. Nice to see what happened behind us. :woohoo:

Chris – not so great job with the photos. While that’s all nerdy and flashy, it doesn’t work.

Upload them to photobucket and post them like us poor dumb simpltons do.

There is a guy that lives near you that’s pretty handy with photobucket. I can pm you his number if you like. :laugh:

If you lock up the back wheel the clutch will disengage. If you then ‘blip’ the trottle above the engagment rpm then the clutch will engage.

My issues are with the carbi on my bike and the angle at the time. It wont idle down steep hills where the clutch is usually disengaged due to locking the back wheel a lot over snotty ground. This is where I had to keep ‘blipping’ the thottle to keep the clutch engaged and keep the back wheel turning the engine over or hold the clutch lever in and ‘blip’ the throttle.

Once the clutch is engaged it will stay that there until the back wheel has stopped turning. I have ran out of fuel and just rolled along, switched to reserve and it fired up. That’s the only time you can roll start a rekluse.

5 laps of sunny corner??????? :ohmy:

And we didn’t go to the hard stuff Mick. We were one ridge away from what I believe is the hardest hills in sunny corner.

TB – I already have some ideas. I’ll get my people to talk to your people and set up a meeting.

Have just read mals post thanks TB for pointing it out and thanks mal for a great post. Could you please point out to the dumb one why can i push start my sons ttr50 but not a recluce. Excuse the pun but does it have something to do with the balls.

I don’t know how a TTR50 clutch operates Aaron. Maybe someone that has had one apart can explain. Sounds strange that you can push start it but then I’m not very smart either.

A slipper clutch and rekluse clutch are two different types of clutches.

A rekluse is an auto (centrifugal) clutch where you don’t have to use the clutch lever. You still have to change gears though. Sorry some people seem to think you can take off in fourth gear and not damage the clutch.

A slipper clutch simply allows the clutch to slip on deceleration. This prevent over revving the engine and sort of prevents the rear locking up into corners. It reduces engin braking a fair bit and feels like a two stroke coming into corners. I test rode a GasGas 450 (they have them fitted standard) and it was interesting on the dirt when you are use to engine braking.

Personally for the dirt I think the rekluse is the go. You don’t have to worry about using the clutch and I find that I’m less fatigued. It really helps up snotty hills too.

Just my 3 cents worth.

Mal.
