The question still remains,did Zippo get to ride more than 50km on the TM before it came up with another way to stuff his day up??
The funny part is he only lost one place and there was a heap of kids bearing down on him from behind!!!
OH NO Chris has a new friend :laugh:
There is a few secret Team Green guys sneaking about here.Gday Nurofen,
Glad you could drop by and say Gday. We don’t take ourselves as serious as they do at TT ,so jump aboard and have some fun.
Cheers
MickYeah post some pics. Zippo. Don’t worry about posting ones of Mac changing a tube, we have seen plenty of those already.LOL
Have you said a little prayer to the almighty TM god??
Have fun and keep us posted.Ollie wrote:

PS did you check your suspension linkages also when you had the backend apart:ohmy:

Hey Ollie,
Now I am sober I just reread your question,and yes you need the 1/2 threaded bar to keep the 1/4 bar in the holes on the bearing retainer. The retainer is in pretty tight,I tried using a hammer and pin punch but all that was going to achieve was to stuff up the holes in the retainer. The nuts on either end of the 1/2 bar supply the positive force you asked about.To be honest the tool worked better than I envisioned!!!You could probably bunk at Ant’s place.It aint real shabby either. Probably has the best view in Port Macquarie.
I am with you on that one buddy. The shims look like hard work to me,The KTM530 has em but at 82hrs she still hasn’t needed them changed yet. All still within spec.
Best get yourself an oil stone. Job is done in half the time and allows you to get back to drinkin’ quicker.
Hey Husky, Have you bin on tha cones or sumtin??You got ya posts in the wrong sections. I presume you was Talking about the Finke? Dunno how the Husky went.
I saw that guys posts on TT so maybe in the Husky section, over there the info may be available??????Mate… wet and dry? Jesus you go about things the hard way. An oil stone is the go.
Also brings copper and aluminium sump plug washers back to life:)Trailboss wrote:

Cheers TBI know I need my arse kicked, but when you are responsible for keeping 10 bikes in riding order some things just slip through the cracks. Besides it wasn’t giving any indications something was wrong.No noise, nothing, believe me it came as a shock to me!!!

Cut The Julius Sumner Miller stuff!!!! The reason I used 1/2 inch threaded bar is because that’s all the Hardware shop here in the thriving metropolis, that is Wauchope had.

Mate by that time I didn’t wanna look at no suspension bearings. They are all good though.
yep, that is pretty well how I got him over from the dark side ( ThumperTalk ).I just filled Bytes PM folder with messages enticing him over with promises of wine, women and song.
Now he is here it is up to him “to use the Force.”
He is the market for a KX65 so I figured he can’t be to bad.LOL -
