38PJ is too rich, especially with a stock set up and a JD needle, slap the 35 in and run 50:1 ( your owners manual suggests 60:1) and the only spooge you’ll have will be in your pants.

[Steve WyethMember]

Yes the pipe should run clean. Spooge can be poor oil or too much of it but is more likely jetting. You are running a fully synthetic oil right? 2% by volume or less?

Are you running a 35 or 38PJ I can’t remember? What needle and clip too?

You can drop a clip which might sort it but if everything else is stock and you’re running that 38PJ in these temps it will be part to blame.

What happened to your spreadsheets Scotty, did you revert to rock carvings instead? I wouldn’t have mentioned the missing people if you hadn’t told us about your spreadsheets in the first place

[Steve WyethMember]

Trying being the key word…..for all of us :dry: :laugh:

Should Tom be on the list too Scotty? As in Mike’s son………

I’d be pretty skeptical about that.

Previous testing in a lab environment by an independent body rated some of the Penrite oils as some of the best commercially available. Rated against more than just shear levels, viscosity specific gravity that alot of basic comparo’s of the labels tell you. It’s on DBW somewhere……

Oil is always a minefield, everyone has an opinion on which is better, most of the top ones and the cheap ass ones will be fine in reality though, you wouldn’t see the difference through normal engine life anyway.

Penrite Diesel has better properties than most other oils on the market. I wouldn’t use it on old bike as the deisel contains detergents that can ‘clean’ your internals and may make things worse or cause a leak where the gunge was previously helping seal it.

The Gas 10 oil is the one I use as it’s the best one of the ones commonly available in my Supercheap.

I have plans this weekend but am still keen for a burn so I might come and maybe bail out early if needed. I know my way round so can get back by myself without drama’s

It would hurt to ask a bearing shop what bearings they can get in. The KTM?Berg use a fairly stock size bearing so I wouldn’t be surprised if you can get a new bearing with slightly larger OD that will only require a quick machining of the hub. It won’t cost much and is fairly straight forward to do. As TB suggested, if you go to a place with a big enough lathe they can do it with the wheel in tact.

Shimming is a fuck around and will have you buying a feeler guage set everytime you do wheel bearings Do it properly you tight arsed bastard!!

Can you go and put some obstacles back on the trail Nick, that makes it more fun! Can we have an EnduroX course to play on?

Glad to hear the Lantana and vines have been tamed though, love your work guys.

Insane dust will be better than the rain last year. It’s frickin dusty at the moment though, we haven’t had a decent downpour in months.

[Steve WyethMember]

Razz, stick with the stock plug and gap it to 0.60mm. The Iridium are a waste and time and money for our bikes. A nicely jetted bikes runs sweet as a nut on the stock plug. I tried the Iridium and a BR8 but ended up back at the stock plug.

Always carry a spare in your camelback too. I never needed one but you just don’t know……
