While I was checking the valves I broke a bolt off when undoing the rear valve cover bolt , I wasn’t too concerned as its apparently quite common. I drilled a hole in the bolt and used an easy out to remove the bolt left in the hole. I obviously bought a poor quality easy out kit as the easy out snapped off in the bolt without moving it. So I resigned myself to drilling out the bolt/easy out and fitting a helicoil.
He’s a great instructional vid for installing a helicoil.

Unfortunately no one in Yamba stock helicoil kits so I had to take it to the local bike shop in Grafton to be done. The helicoil was fitted no problem and upon inspection the front to bolts had already been helicoiled !!! Some racers fit helicoils to their bikes straight away to save this drama as it offers a 60% stronger thread than the original.

Stripped the newbie down today and did a valve check …. Exactly to manufacturers spec
Not bad for a 7 year old Crf with 100hrs

A local guy we ride with had a Sherco (501??) and it was a bit problematic and not just due to maintenance . He got Tekniks to do a full suspension rework and I took it apart for the work to be done. One major fault was that the boot from air box to carbie ran so close to the pipe it was distorted and sucking unfiltered air. When we put it back together it was impossible to alter how the boot sat in conjunction with the pipe.
It maybe isolated to this model but worth checking out I’d think

Nice work Nicolas!

Is that the one that has been at your place for a while with the nice front forks?

250 for trail ride and 450 for racing????? It should be the other way around.

Yes mate it’s a bike I’ve been fitting a wiring loom too for a friend and the forks are sensational !! They should be too they are built by Precision Concepts USA for one of Johnny Campbell’s race bike

As for racing and trail riding , at theTransmoto the 250 spent a lot of time hitting the rev limiter on the faster sections and especially the grass track so I thought the 450 would be better suited to that type of racing !! Not that I’m getting too serious ( natural talent prevents that ) but a few pony expresses would be fun
