Can you add me as well thanks

The Adriatic Coast would be a great place on a bike, only ever been a passenger in a car, thought I’d never make it home as there doesn”t seem to be much in the way of road rules

We were in the mountains heading for the coast from Zagreb to Opatija & going around the outside of trucks on double lines, wasn’t only our driver it seemed to be common practice as the oncoming traffic was doing the same.

Should be just before the main tourist season as well with no crowds

Enjoy

Those Yamaha front bearings are piss weak in my opinion too small for the application. I remove the seals blow out the standard grease with compressed air repack with quality grease then put the seals back on. Get much better life from them.

Yamaha don’t fit sealed front bearings, only a seal on the spacer & speedo drive. That would be their downfall

Although my WR still has original bearings fitted no problems as yet.

You had better check around a bit if you are going this June Lotsa as there is heaps of water around

. Water was 1.5m higher before big red than last year. The shire thanks to Brooks pty ltd are gonna put a track around the water that will go right down to the sa border than back up again. That will give you access to big red but then there will be eyre creek to deal with and that is gonna take a while to go down. Don raymonds at adrea said it is a damn sight higher than last year

There is more but the general drift is that they are saying the simpson may not be passable before Finke and that’s the 12 of June :ohmy:

BTW Piecrust is a local at Bridsville on ADV

I will PM you a link

I also read on the same forum canoeguy is looking for someone to drop a tractor tube out there for him, not sure which way he is planning, although there will be a way to get bikes through if you feel like a winters swim in the desert

This ebayer seller at granville has a few varieties, at least you can pick them up & don’t need to pay for a courier.

He also has a website, the prices are higher than ebay

Everyone has an opinion as to which oil is best, I use Motorex, can’t say it is better or worse than any others although after xxxx km’s in some apallingly dusty conditions my valves have not closed up or is there any sign of dust getting through the Uni Filter Pro Comp 2.

I spent a considerable amount of time chasing a quad in deep bull dust last weekend & although there is a lot of dirt on my filter nothing got through.

In his defence, the track ran downhill so it made the triple look like flat ground as it blended into the downhill slope. Sure there was a triple in the Roadbook, however 90% of people at Condo do not read the Roadbook or mark cautions, they just follow tracks. The triple marker was actually HTS in the long grass (look at the first photo)

He was not the only person to come off there, people actually still hit it hard while he was lying there, then rumour has it the sweep fell off his bike at the same triple.

Possibly needed more than triple as it would have been the worst of the weekend, sure there were others bigger & steeper, they generally weren’t in the middle of a paddock where you were going full throttle at it

[StuartMember]

We tried Q, JD Blue & full circle back to JD Redwith a couple of clip changes.

Was interesting to see the my power, torque & fuel curves overlayed with other bikes.

IMS tank for the WR still requires YZ shrouds,jetting too lean did you change your pilot aiir and main air jets to suit

Yes we did the whole bit, followed his jetting. Got a small increase in economy, with a seat of pants power gain, then rejetted on the dyno & gained more hp, with an awesome torque curve. However no gain in fuel economy. Seat of pants actually feels slower because of the linear power deilvery.

Still using twice the amount of fuel as everyone is saying. Could always wind the leak jet in & limit the squirt.

What sort of races are you talking about?

I guess everyone likes different terrain. I like sand but then I may have your same opinon by the end of the race. But I won’t know unless I go!

Club enduros rate higher than Hattah on my list, from what I’ve heard Transmoto was a good event, Yellow Mountain is rated highly by nearly everyone that has had a go. I’ll even go as far as saying Finke is better.

Hi guys, just orderd 2 IMS tanks from Just Gas Tanks 3.1 gallons,as far as fuel consumption goes first ride on the WR 450 I got 70 km and hit reserve, the next ride was after I had set the carb up as per Nutty Professors specs and you wouldn’t want to know I used 6.2 litres for 127 kms,single track, fire roads etc etc could not fault the bike at all. So when the tank arrives should be good for 200kms or more.:lol:

Do the IMS still require YZ shrouds?

Nutty jetting specs????? Been there, no real difference to fuel consumption, ran it on a dyno with a respectable tuner & no suprise that it was lean, with the riding I’ll be doing it was heading into piston cracking territiory.

Good point about the tank shrouds SB that agreement with the Yamaha dealers must be selective as we bought my brother in laws safari tank for his WR from a non Yamaha dealer and they got it from Safari

Still like you say the shrouds being able to be used is heaps better, my 17 litre is a Clarke and has been great and uses my shrouds

I see your new graphics at Tee n Cee bike must looking good and ready for Condo?

TB

Off Topic a little, then again it is a WR with a Clarke tank & TB asked how it is going.

Made in China, sold locally

Designed for motard or clean service, don’t think the little balls would last long in mud.

They had heaps of reliability issues, meant to be better now.

I’ll stay with my Haan cush hub.
