    I hope this works but this is what happens when a penny throws a tyre.

    OLd mate has a reasonable lean happening here, much past that angle and you risk “rolling” a tyre. (not a good thing when your tyre comes clean off the rim)

    The first corner is always a hoot, getting the holeshot is advised.!

    The bastards must have spent a considerable amount of time there, as one of the CRF’s had no seat or air filter and they ratted around and found them before they left.

    Bloody hell!! Now I know it is there, watch it stuff up in the next 4 weeks or so.

    And I know if I pull the tank out to do a “simple job” watch something else in there stuff up and I will have to fix that as well!! Then I will wish I had left the whole freaking thing alone in the first place. :laugh:

    Nope never knew that. Not such a simple job to do at my place, I have a rain water tank, 3 inches above the top of the water heater. I would have to pull the heater out to get the anode out.
    It is all too hard. Lucky I have a brother in law that is a plumber.

    Anodes?? Hot Water service?? Never heard of such a thing, where do you get to it? :huh:
    I understand what an anode does but I didn’t realise my hot water system would have one and that it is a servicable item? A 20 year old Rheem would no doubt have one??

    I was just speaking to the young bloke who’s bikes were stolen and he said the low lifes also took his boots, goggles and other ride gear. Not content to just get the bikes the thieving pricks really cleaned him out.

    In the hope that it helps I’ve put the feelers out in round here after I heard of a strange (coincidence) word of mouth ad for a v-cheap 450 with “new plastics”. Might be nothing, but worth a look into.

    See if I can find out more for ya.

    When I heard they went missing , i had a funny feeling that they went north to Kempsey, due to where they got stolen.. It would be good if you could look into it further. PM me if you can help look into it and I will get the Vin Numbers etc.
    I would like nothing more, than nailing some low life bike thief. :angry:

    Ollie, when you fitted the radiator guards, did you move the horn? I did and somehow it was snagging the decomp cable and pulling it tight when ever I turned the bike to the right. It was pulling the cable tight enough that it was activating the auto decomp just a little bit and causing the bike to “flame out”. Maybe something to check. It may not be your horn, it could be one of your other modifications that is causing it to pull tight.

    Or it could be that your engine is totally shagged and you need a $2000 rebuild. ;) :ohmy: :whistle:
