Reducing carbs from ya diet is the way to go as long as you can sustain it. Remember your long term goal should be sustainable.

For me I love me breads and baked potatoes to much an couldn’t live long term without them. So to compensate i’ll do more cardio work to help burn the carbs off.

As for exercise finding something you enjoy doing will help motivate you to get out and do it.

I go mountain bike riding cause it’s the next best thing to dirt bikes and will complement you dirt dike riding skills.

I also enjoy the gym, the eye candy can be a great motivator.

CHris.

I’d still but one. I see the warranty on any dirt bike a bonus not a selling point and at the end of the day although it should not have taken so long they covered it.

I still think the Huskys are the hottest looking bikes on the market. I have a mental image of me and a 310TE at one with nature.

I’m with ya on this one TB. If I don’t slow the weight gain im going to need to buy a shitload of new cloths, riding gear included. I’ve got an expensive suit in the cupboard I needed to wear last week and I had buckleys and none of getting into it.

Not sure of my current weight but it’s in the mid 90’s, will need to weight myself. Not 18 months ago I had a major medical and I was 80kg. I’m looking to lose 10kg to at least get down to 85kg.

I will be able to achieve this by cutting a couple of this out of my diet, mainly McDonalds and getting more ride time on my mountain bike, which I enjoy anyway. I also plan on re-joining the gym to get in a couple sessions a week.

Lock me in TB!

Nice ride Chris you lucky bastard. It’s also nice to see not everybody on here is blinded by colour when it comes to there bikes. :ohmy:

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Good work guys. I’m looking forward to next weekend. The DRZ is all set to go and i’m chomping at the bit.

Hav’nt had a chance to test the new suspension yet so there may be some tweaking on the go.

Mate thanks to many years of crusty demons, having a dirtbike is all part and parcel of the “Badboy” image, along with shit loads of tats and not having a job.

As most of these so called “Badboys” don’t work the only way to beef up their image is to steal your hard earned bike.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Just a quick not guys too. For those of you that chain your bikes up in the shed, be sure to get the chain through the frame.

I have now seen a couple of bikes that have been chained by the wheel only and the theives have taken the wheel off and taken the bike without the wheel.

F#%ING DIRTY LITTLE SCUMBAG LOWLIFE C*#TS.

As for the magistrates, your right, most of the time the penalty for riding the bikes without a licence is bigger than the penalty these grubs get for stealing them.

Not two weeks ago we picked up two shitheads in a stolen VW Golf GTI Turbo worth $50.000. This had been taken from an aggrivated break and enter along with a Porche Cayenne. Surprise surprise the Porche was located within a couple streets of these shitheads house.

They both got Juvinile cautions, just don’t seem like justice or any sort of deterant.

Jak, I pulled the rear of my DRZ apart last week whilst the shock was in being re-valved. I noticed the grease nipples on the swing arm pivots feed grease into a channel on the inside of the bearing not directly onto the bearing.

When greasing the rear through the nipples you will need to keep pumping till fresh grease oozes out the outside of the bearing to be sure you flush all the old crap out.

The nipples on the linkages go into the middle of the bearing and seem to feed grease directly onto the bearings better than the ones on the swing arm pivot.

The lower shock mount has no nipple and mine looked alittle dry, not bad but not as good as the one with nipples.

As for the carpet, I got nothin.

This may help with ya wiring Boony

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Thats about 1kg off Boony. Next should be them Blinkers. DRZ’s must be in the Guiness Book of Records for the world biggest motorcycle blinkers. The bloody things weight 200g each with their brackets.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Well the DRZ is all back together, just need to give it some fresh oil and whack in an air filter.

Whist it was apart having the shock done I thought it best to take the opportunity to check the swing arm pivot and linkage bearings as they haven’t been checked since I bought it new.

My previous experience with new bikes is they have very little grease packed in the bearing from the factory.

To my surprise when I pulled it apart all the bearing were packed with ample grease. The DRZ has heaps of grease nipples on the rear so im not sure if the bike came from the factory like this or the shop I bought it from took to it with a grease gun during the pre-delivery service. Either way it was welcome to see.

The only issue was the left side swing arm bearing which showed signs of water getting in with the grease starting to look milky.

The watery bearing is the one on the chain side. As I wash my bike with a pressure washer and the chain side gets more attention during a wash, due to the build up of chain lube, I’m guessing this is what caused the problem.

My pressure washer is only a cheapy, not one of the high powered ones and I’m not real careful with it, I just blast everything. As I stated, I give the chain side a good blast to get rid if the gunk that sticks to the build up of chain lube on this side. All the other bearing were perfectly water free. Will need to be more careful on this side from now on.

Now looking forward to seeing how the bike feels now that the front and rear suspension are set for my fat arse.
