    Heavy bumbag, wished I owned a Gasser, why is it heavy, spare gearbox maybe (sorry mate)

    I used to carry everything but only carry a couple of basics now and use mousse tubes so no levers etc and its a Honda XR650 its all good

    TB

    PS Chicken has everything lol

    Ha Ha Im usually carrying spares for two bikes

    I just have tools that I know would be a prick without,and dont really like having to rely on others except when necessary.Every time I do maintenance on my bike(s) I try and use the tools from the bumbag,so you know what works and what doesntB)

    thanks for the help ollie ,
    not too mech. minded (though only need to be told once)can fiddle though wouldnt do a rebuild yet without a HANES manual lol.

    Yea had a ball on sat. LOOSE NUT? im sure i saw you skipping down a hill past me on more than one occasion! lol:laugh: :laugh:

    play with both? it crackles (slight) on decel. .,More fuel needed??:blush:

    Yeh mate,just adjust your fuel screw out 1/4 a turn at a time have a ride between adjustments. Remember where you originally started from (write it down) so that if you f**k it up you can always go backB) Jetting will also change with Temp,humidity and altitude.
    make sure bike has warmed up first.

    I think there is a jetting guide on this forum somewhere which would help ya out.

    I run a small first aid kit in the rear bag on the KLX.
    Just purchased a new SCOTT enduro style bumbag(Cause the Scott jacket is sooo good):) THANKS SUTTOS
    Bumbag fits all the tools I have so far, some extras & a spare clutch lever & still has room for some more yet.

    A question on this off subject I know ,,but,,
    Do you guys find it best to wear the Bumbag on the GUT or on the BUM????
    I have heard that the GUT can be more comy, letting it rest on ya legs (kind of) as ya ride??

    I wear mine on my Gut nowadays as I am using a Dianese body suit,with the bag around the bag it always gets hooked up.I also prefer it at the front because you dont have to take it off to get any tools out.Oh and because its rather heavy,(I carry a lot of stuff)it tends to drag around your arse which is rather uncomfortable :blush: The Bumbag Im using is one of Porky Eldridges IMHO the best there is,PS always remember to wrap any sharp tools like a shifter in a rag,this will stop it from wearing a hole in the leather.

    Hi guys
    fitted my bomb headder and what a differance,though wondering if i should play with my carbie. any suggestions in mixture settings etc…..:unsure:

    just ride the thing man:woohoo: if it crackles on decel it may be a bit lean and when you hold it wide open if it feels flat also lean, just a bit of fine tuning is all thats needed. PS aaron I was checking out your arse:blush: whoops I meant style:laugh: on Saturday,you are a loose unit and I could tell you where having fun;) awsome stuff mate.

    My first ever bike was a 50cc Italjet I had for my 3rd Birthday when we lived in Saudi Arabia. It had learner wheels and everything, I used to burn it around the desert near where we lived :) Don’t remeber how quick it was though or how many RPM it was doing :P

    Steven its OK now,you dont need those training wheels on the KTM :P

    Gyday Bull,welcome to the forum mate,what did you think of the ride on Saturday?
    Dave told me about your cooling system mods to the little Kato :woohoo: hope all goes well.

    PS you definatley beat me with the amount of bikes in your sheds.:laugh: like I have said before: some people do drugs and alcohol I collect bikes.same as you I guess?.Rollands plains is a great area been there a few times when my old man use to drive log trucks.

    cheers Ollie

    I meant to tell you Ollie, it is not just the little bikes that get the MOTOCOOL treatment, Big Man Bill does the whole Gambit man, if it is on two wheels and has a cooling system then the thing will undergo an improvement after a visit to the ranch at the Plains, I have seen a kit on a 520 kato that when its finished testing on that one we are going to throw it on Betty (isn’t that right Bill….Mate….Buddy ….Pal:laugh: :laugh:)

    I thought it would of already had it?:laugh:

    Polini – not much chop in the 50s, but the 65 is another story all together
    Cobra (King Cobra is the current one I think), a weapon that Indeed eats all opposition, but they are not a production machine , they are USA made one off hand-built thing that would not be what it is if it came off a production line, I think they only produce 900 units a year
    But I stand corrected, the KTM 50 only dominates the normal real world, not the elite top level, that is for the King Cobra,

    Thanks Mr Blue for that

    A bit off subject but well worth a look,the 65 is very impressive but at USD $4200 + delivery + etc etc :blink:
    The 65 C.A.R.D is USD$6400:S

    The same still applies, if your mate is behind you and you are both playing/racing I would deliberatly roost him on a hard surface. I would also expect to be roosted back in the same situation.

    Roosting someone when they are parked up and/or have no helmet/googles on is not funny though.

    It is if they are near a cow turd or an ants nest!!:woohoo:

    Does anyone know where I can find a battery strap? One of the simple kind, like a metal shackle at either end and a slide Buckle in the centre? or just some damn battery strap that will fit my bike.
