    Sorry to jerk you around Scotty
    But could you take the Dude and Murph team off the list, seems as though Dude will be working after all :(
    If possible leave me on the bench, as I could still be a possible.
    I have family at Red Rock so I’ll sort my own accomadation.
    Cheers

    Well I have done as much as I can do ;)
    Bled clutch using brake fluid (Dickhead) :ohmy: Then rebled system with correct hydraulic oil :) Removed clutch cover and measured each plate all coming in within tollerance. They are 2mm new and mine were 1.95. Tollerance 1.9 so all good there. No worn fingers or basket. Pushrod and thrust race all good. Put it all back together and problem is slightly better, at least it didn’t fall off the stand when first was selected. Found it to be much better when engine temp is up to normal :)
    Bloody hard to come to terms with the price of the Motorex hydraulic oil $15 for 100ml but thats what the manual recomends ;)
    Still have v/v clearances to check and new rear rubber hoop to fit :silly:
    Thanks for everybodys input
    Cheers

    Well did the reverse bleed last night but still lays rubber on the concrete when first gear is selected. It did improve when the engine warmed up. Whilst on the stand (rear wheel in the air) there was no way I could stop the wheel from tuning with my hand :ohmy:
    Didn’t take it for a ride due to inclement weather ;)
    Also changed rear wheel bearings, rear brake pads, front wheel bearings, front brake pads and dropped the LH fork leg ready to replace another bloody seal.
    Will check v/v clearances and might even treat the old girl to a new plug.
    Hope all will be well for the Coffs trip
    Cheers

    in reply to: I am confused, what is a single trail?? #190761

    In my mind a single would be a trail that is too narrow for quads and fourbies.
    Have noticed a lot of singles tend to have wider sections due to water hazards and hills. Its only natural that if the water hazard becomes too deep a bypass is needed, same problem with hill climbs. As they become impassable due to being rutted a new line opens up beside it :ohmy:
    Personally I prefer tight snotty steep singles, there something rewarding after you get through a section without help :woohoo:
    Other people prefer more open singles where you can pick up the pace :woohoo:
    Thank god we are all different ;)
    The world would be a boring place if we were all the same :P
    My 2 cents worth

    Nice day out there Jeffro
    I concur it was bloody hot
    We rode from Chain Valley Bay to Catho yesterday
    Some nice singles on the way but the Catho side of the highway was pretty much the same as last time I rode out that way some 25 years ago. No pics so no report from me
    Take it easy on those solo trips mate
    Cheers

    Hey Hatto
    Couldn’t open the link, must be secret KTM business or something. I’ve had this 525 from new and yes it has always had a bit of “clutch drag” but it has just gotten a lot worse over the last couple of rides.
    Bundyroy
    My name should be Turkeyroy, not many of us Roy’s out there.
    Would of thought with air in the system it would not engage the clutch fully giving it the severe “creep” that mine has at the moment. What you are saying with air in the system the clutch wouldn’t dissengage fully to give you proper drive. ie slipping
    Seems strange :unsure:
    Either way it will be bled this arvo. Any special tips in bleeding? I assume it would be like any other bleed job. Have never had to touch the hydraulic clutch on this Kato or the previous one
    Cheers

    in reply to: KTM clutch issues #190744

    Will try and get around to doing that this arvo, might even flush it with new fluid
    Cheers TB

    Hey Hatto
    Same thoughts as Menace :ohmy: Was told that the solid discs, no holes, last longer in muddy conditions??? Thats what we run.

    PS. Doubt she’d be up for a rebuild, my 525 has 12500kms on her
