It is a cracker idea and a great way to raise some money for the site. As generous as TB and Chris are, this thing does not pay for itself so it is a great way to raise some funds and also market ourselves to other potential members at large events.

Welcome John, Lots of trail riding going down around here and the WRR is a great little bike to get there be it trail or adventure. See if you can get up up Mt Seaview in July

Ben doing a resto on the RMX and she had about 10 years of built up grime dirt and lube on the castings
I let it soak with a High strentgh hit of CT18 then I give it a go with cheapo “5 star” mag wheel cleaner and got into it with a stiff Nylon brush. I then hit it with my little hand held steam cleaner and they come up pretty good. Lot of work tho :S

You could also try the Liquid Image Video Goggles They come up fairly regularly on special got mine for about $80. Easy to use good quality no noise buffetting.

just another option.

BUGGER !!! THATS CRAP RAZZ :angry: When I was admitted to Port base hospital they just were more concerned with dealing with the Pain. I didnt know to much I was bombed out on Morphine and Endone. :woohoo: it wasnt until I got back to Sydney and my DR sent me to St Vincents that they agreed that I needed a plate installed which by now was two weeks after the crash. Thankfully I did get it done as I am only just now feeling comfortable and getting full range of movement. I was looked after at Port and have nothing but praise for the Nursing staff there. I think that because im in the Defence force I am covered by private health and “cost”is not an issue. where as Port is Public and gave me the bare essentials for recovery. Anyway mate I do hope you recover quicker than I have as I am looking forward to showing you around Maria SF when I get up there.

so 19.5lt per km if you had used a full 30lt. The best I’ve got is about 18.5lt per km. But usually 15lt/km. Needle and short spring guy sounds like the go. They expand out to 31.5lt after a while but yours is new. I haven’t bothered with reserve because I can’t usually just pop into servo if I hit reserve anyway.

Jeez you blokes running Leopard tanks !! :laugh: :laugh:

I know I know F#@^ck off Ollie :laugh:

I am sorry but it begs asking :laugh: . If a Gas Gas steers so well why did you put a CRF front end on your Gas Gas :huh: :laugh: (I dont care about facts either :laugh: )

Oh yeah nothing steers like a XR250 you are 100% correct IMO

TB

:laugh:
Corrossion on fork leg (my bad) complete front end swap for Showa twin chambers for about $700 (EBAY USA)

Ollie

A tube would be cheaper than $700, you forgot to add the Showa is a better front end Still further off topic Ollie I will have a heap of XR 650 parts coming up soon. I am not getting rid of my XR just have doubles and triples of soooooo many parts gathered up over years if you are interested. There is everything from new and second hand plastics to triple trees to shocks, forks, wheels, sprockets, blinkers, radiators, hoses, stators, electrics, swing arms, linkages, discs, maybe motard wheels, brake callipers, master cylinders and heaps more

TB

Thanks mate could do with some new blinkers maybe Motard heels

Marzocchi suspension is a copy of 92 model showa same as what was on my old 360 Husky :laugh: my fork tubes had been worked over so factor in another $3-400 in the end just not worth it.

Hey Rookie sorry mate about going off subject – get ya sis to have a look at an Alloy frame WRF cant go wrong !

yeah that looks alright

GasGas parts are cheap compared to KTM parts and yes older 250 Kato EXCF’s are fairly highly strung and do require regular topends. Cant go wrong with the WR and I reckon the white ones look great.

2005 KTM 250 250EXC-F, What to look for ? Id say a Yamaha or a Gasgas 250 :laugh: :laugh:

seriously tho unless she is a good mechanic and has plenty of time and money on her hands go with the Japanese brands first. (gasgas falls into that category as it runs te WR engine)

just my 2 cents
