Nick and Adam upgraded and serviced my suspension on my dr650 last week.
Now I’ve put a few a few hundred clicks (60% tar) on it, I’ve gotta say I’m impressed.
No longer feels like a sponge.

Price for specialist expertise was no more than the cowboys.
Thoroughly recommended.

And the stickers look great too Adam.

Well I’m not convinced on the spot tracker………Still think its a gimmick thats why I havent bought one!

Sure they’re a gimmick.

A gimmick that tells people where you are or thereabouts, in good time.

What could be more gimmicky than that.

This is Old Bull Trialsriders isnt it?

The ty went for $1030 on fleabay. What do people think of that for a ’74ish bike?

So people are entitled to assume that you are into the sport of observed moto trIAls,
rather than the recreational pastime of trAIl riding.

Note the juxtoposition of the “I” and “A” is significant in this case.
I assume you know the difference.

He has a yearning for a ty350 trials bike but wishes that they did a twin shock version, as he currently weighs around 110 kgs.

I dont fit any of the other criteria, and I’m slightly less than 110, but I sure do yearn for a ty350.

[Steve SparkesMember]

You just might be able to do that Jimmy.
I’ll give it a go tomoz.
Never seen that in any manual.

[Steve SparkesMember]

Thats pretty concise Mick, and much what I expected.
I’m tempted to give it a bit of a wrestle, before considering removing subframe.

[Steve SparkesMember]

Thanks fellas,
I’ll throw that in the mix,
Mick, Do you recall an overview of your method for extracting an xr carby?

Steve

[Steve SparkesMember]

Yep, you can get a slider in and out with a bit of manipulation.
Need sprocket cover off, no need to remove sprocket (mines only 12t).

From memory many years ago you have to pull the swingarm off, if its a genuine one.

Yeah, thats what the service manual says. I’ll try it Mals way first – see how it goes.
Thanks fellas.

Same again for everything Adam said.

I’m sure I’ll be up to it next year, and if perchance I’m not, I’ll volunteer for support like I should have this year.

Lookin forward to the ride reports!
