This may be related more to us Poms but I think it’s still relevant no matter what country we live in
Never Forget
11/11 tomorrow , 1 minutes silence at 11am .
I owe my grandfather a lot more and I’m sure we all have relatives or know of a hero that should be remembered

Glad to hear the Lantana and vines have been tamed though, love your work guys.
Your afternoon loop home is a cracker mate , it’s got it’s challenges but has nice flow back to the Eskys !! :woohoo:
Nick
The trails are in great condition at the moment and we cleared any obstacles that would slow the flow
.
I inadvertantly used my handle bar to rip down a vine while pinned in 4th gear and came off much worse Rob had to saw through it to get the bugger off the trail , could have been worse …. Someone could have driven 7 hours to be thrown in a ditch !!!! Dust or not this ride will be tops !!

Hi Wardy
Welcome to old bulls , as STM said ChrisT is near you and has a good group of riding mates that usually head for the Watagans to ride.
Keep an eye on the ride gatherings as their are a heap of old bulls around the Sydney area and plenty of rides to choose fromNick
Great cause Scotty , good luck and enjoy

It does over a long period a little at a time and you dont notice until you replace the fluid and get the wow factor like you Nick. You dont realise how bad there are cause you got used to it over time as it went off but new fluid properly bleed :woohoo:I reckon DOT 4 will suit most of us. Be aware fluid goes off in the bottle so I reckon if its a year or older maybe think of getting a new bottle. I have run the Motul for years Nick (I like Motul products but thats just me) I have recently been put onto a fluid by Lefty that by all accounts is the ducks guts. I had boiled the fluid twice on the rear of the Tenere, Lefty got me onto the new stuff and I havent boiled it again. (the backing plates on the pads now go a very dark blue :blink: )
To answer your question regarding the fluid boiling and feeling different did you notice a difference in the rear brake on your Tenere when you boiled in on Yengo that evening we rode through?
Just found the video

Hope some of that helps :blink:
TB
It all helps thanks TB
That vid bought back memories and I did replace the fluid straight away after that ride as the rear brake never felt the same :pinch:

moto wrote:Use DOT5.1 not DOT4 for better boiling temp. resistance. Motul 660 may well be 5.1 for all I know just saying to use 5.1 if you haven’t already.I hardly ever bleed my brakes, if they start to feel spongy then I’ll do it otherwise they seem to be fine. To do it properly though you really need to take the brake off completely as the banjo fitting at the master cylinder on the bars has a high point (it does on KTM/Bergs anyway) and can leave a bit of air in causing spongyness. Not forgetting the il is hydroscopic and will build up water over a period of time.
There was a good thread on here about brake bleeding, the serach function is rubbish though so I couldn;t be bothered to look through a million posts for you. Maybe you can ask a moderator to help you out or fix it?
can’t find it either !!Do you only bleed the brakes if they feel spongy or completely replace the fluid ?
