Hey “H”
My 012 500 boiled a few times at first (mainly due to the snotty terrain that we ride) but it was no good like that so the boys at KTM sugested a lower rated thermo switch. Did the trick.
On the suspension, I put heavier springs front and back but didn’t like it (I’m about 100kg geared up) Ended up leaving the heavier shock spring in and puting the original fork springs back in, I was happy. :woohoo:

TO Burnsey and Boze and the other boys that rode the 510’s
Gotta love it when you hunt down a 250 and realise that everytime they are hitting full throttle, we are doing about 2 thirds. Thus a big bore bike does not wear like a smaller one. Thus, the reason I keep going back to the 510. It might be heavy, might have too much torque/pull your arms out by the end of the day,HEY. But I love them. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

P.S. Still dreaming of a 300 though. :blush: :blush: :blush: :whistle: :pinch:

I have used syringes before with no success, so I splashed out and bought a vacuum pump designed to bleed brakes and it works a treat. I loaned it to Aaron to bleed a brake on a Kato 65 he was having trouble bleeding and it worked a treat again. I think it cost me about $90-00, but it payed for it self already by not having to pay my local mechanic to do it. Hope this helps.

Where did you buy this machine??????/vacuume pump thingy?????
May be a last resort as I haven’t had any of my bikes back to the shop, well hardley ever????
I did take this Fuel injected bike back to see if they could find a fault. They didn’t and luckily it never happened again???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

i boiled mine on parachute hill too but i cooled it straight away with camelbak water (the caliper, not the disc) and it came good straight away.

i reckon on yours the bubble has worked up to the master cylinder and has “airlocked” it.

try taking the brake line off at the master cyl. end first Murph.
pull the banjo bolt right out and stick your thumb over the hole and pump it.
if you feel pressure on your thumb the seals are ok.
pump it a few times and hold it down as you let the top of your thumb off a bit and air will come out.
keep doing this until mo more air comes out.
the rest of the system can be bled with a vacuum (syringe or pump or what ever or the ols skool “bottle and tube, pump and nip” way)

when i rebuild my mates YZ we had heaps of trouble bleeding brakes up and this procedure is what the manual recommended, to pre bleed the master. (wish I’d read it first )

worst case is you will know straight away if the master seals are blown but i will almost guarantee they will be fine mate.

there is very little air pressure generated in a boil situation, compared to the pressures the seals take during normal application.

:huh: why am i telling a fitter this :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I guess, the Old Bulls that I went past, down that bloody hill are laughing now.
And so they should be. :blink:
Laughing Sams Dice. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks you all.
Played for a little while today on the braking of the 5 hungey.
Tried everything that was thrown at me. :blink:
No Bloody Good.
Sorry, ya’ll.
There must be that much of a bubble of air in the system that it can not be reach by any other means. :ohmy:
I may break the system, tomorrow. :ohmy: 👿 :pinch:

Tim and I, too enjoyed that hill, Nick. :woohoo: :woohoo: 👿
That is sorta similar to one of the hills on our “4 Hills and a Footlong ride” not. :kiss: :kiss:
It was also one of the highlights for me as I was totally pumped by the time I got to the top. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Gotta get you blokes down our way for a few days of riding. :sick: :sick: :whistle: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

P.S. Bring your “Rusta Vision”??????????????
P.S.S. “What ever that means” Just bring yourselves and a whole lotta heart. Or Lovin, for thats the way the song goes. Jeez, if I can do these rides, anybody can, man!!!

[murph the surfMember]

Glad ya got some coin from some of the boys, Snowman.
I thought there was more like 36 riders on Saturday x $10 = a little more. :ohmy:
We all put in what we had I guess???
If I had more than $20 on me at the Berry patch, Tim and I would of thrown it to such a good cause.
Especially a fellow 4.2TD Patrol owner.
Cheers

Snowy’s Quote:-
“Next years plans are already hatching as we want to offer something completely different but it will be around the last weekend in August again. Watch this site!”

More Snot and more Hills. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Tim and I spotted a single that went straight up a hill in the same direction as we were going. :woohoo: :woohoo: Somewhere around the little creek track that bypassed a gate. It looked the goods and I am sorry about the exact position. :blush:
It was in the bush somwhere.?????? :woohoo:
Cheers
Murphs
P.S. No more riding for us for a while. Bring on NZ. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Kept the pace down all weekend because of the NZ trip. You can only wrap yourself in so much cotton wool though. :cheer:
