Many happy returns Scooter boy. :laugh: See ya on the weekend.

The new engine is running sweet as thanks Bruce, Eric Gorr has done a great job, I asked for more low down power and it certainly has that!! So much so,the young fella has had a bit of trouble coming to grips with it and at last weeks MX he was having all sorts of strife getting power to the ground. It should make a big difference when I get the big wheels and longer swing arm on it this weekend.

After much deliberation and chin scratching I have been vindicated. I have worked out what caused the failure. Excessive wear in the power valve is what has caused the failure. Last night I inspected the power valve which is a 3 piece hinged affair. The hinge section had basically worn out, which has allowed the flapper section of the valve to extend further than it should into the exhaust port and one point of the flapper was able to actually touch the piston, therefore catching the ring and snapping it.
One of the points on the flapper on the power valve has been worn down from touching the piston prior to failure. All the marks on the piston and where the ring broke confirm this theory. That also explains the ticking noise I heard seconds before disaster struck.

A remote server and a laptop could do the trick

At the moment the ball is in Chris’ court so to speak. I am sure a man of his capabilities will have a solution to my dilemma.

Like.

The pre ride preparation and cameraderie before a big ride

Riding early saturday morning knowing you have the next day off to do the same.

Leafy rainforest trails amongst palm trees.

Riding in the fog in the Mountains

Post ride beers and stories.

Leading guys through awesome trails they have never ridden

Finding new trails, I have ridden past for ages.

Showing young upstarts what an XR650 can do

Popping a good wheelie on The BRP

Torquing the pig up a hill that the boys on their new bikes are battling with.

Living with in two minutes of the bush and the wicked trails we have here.

Dislike.

Lantana

Stupid big hills with basket ball sized boulders

Massive rutts

Ditches dug in the middle of no where

wild cattle in the bush

Dust

flame outs in creeks

unpacking and cleaning gear after a long trip home in the car.

crashing out

those split seconds just before you come off

having my headlight smashed by roost.

That is just a few things that come to mind.
