    Has it got a hesitation/bog of idle if you crack the throttle on?

    Thanks all involved in the special..

    Anyone got a picher of these things fitted on a narny..especially where the standard spring goes on the new pegs?????

    They should fit in the same way the springs fit your old pegs. They did on the XR.

    Nice to see the cat back in action! Albeit in a new nimble guise :) Good works boys.

    I need to take the 450 to bits and clean it up now, any volunteers? Free beer?

    Get Dave to do it,seeing as though it is a KTM I am sure he would do it for sex. :blink:

    I got sick of it sitting in the shed taking up so much space.
    So I just fitted the swing arm to get it out of the road and things got out of control from there.Next you know we were bolting the engine in and the rest is history :laugh:
    Bill and turned up yesterday for a couple of hours and helped out.
    There is still a shamozle in my shed I don’t mind telling you.I bet there will be no one in a hurry to help clean that up though.

    THey are more stable than they look. WE pulled the engine out and refitted it at that height with out a drama at all.

    I was just talking to NickOff and he is racing too. Dunno about RiderX yet,he was doing some whinging about sore ribs or something in the shed the other night.

    WE will have an Old bull pit tent and all so we can have a nanna nap if required.

    Is that you and Moose, Mick?? I’m a definate starter, should be a lot of fun.

    Nah mate, you missed the bit about A graders. :blush:

    Moose and I will be just happy to finish in one piece.

    Bucket loads of power mate!! Well worth the $20 for the stickers. :laugh:
    One of the first rides with them on I managed to flip it and ended up with my foot in plaster (with a probable fracture).

    I would only recommend the Old Bull sticker upgrade if you think you can handle the extra HP. :dry:

    Another thing we found that will give you extra HP on a XR600 is to fit a set of spokey dokes to your front wheel. Moose’s XR rips with them on. ;)
