Guys, seal savers serviced every ride will save your seals with out a doubt(and lets face it its easy to unvelcro clean and reinstall them), if you do not clean them out every ride they will hold dirt and act like fine emery…..cleaning regularly is the go:)

I can’t fathom why my seals kept leaking then…cleaned and dried after every ride…I guess they work for some and not others.
I reckon if they were any good you’d see more of them around…

The OB ones though might just be different!

Is that a fair deal ??? I have no idea:unsure:

I’d do ’em for a carton plus parts, though you’d have to bring them down here AND help!!!

So in short…yes, that’s not a bad deal.

I too am not in favour of the seal savers. They never worked when I had them so I binned them!

Found that a does of silicon spray on the fork legs after a wash did wonders…haven’t had to change a seal since and prior to that I was doing them about every three months!

Oh and I should mention that silicon spray on the brke disc is NOT a good idea.

Who the hell leaves for a ride on time???

I went up to Clarence for a little ride and thought I’d call in and say gidday whle the lads were kitting up. Only to findthat at 8.10am the place was deserted and all the cars and trailers parked neatly away!!!

Jesus H! Was a bit warm up there but nothing like last month…bet the buggers are having a good time!

I had only deactivated my account this afternoon. Found it to be a waste of time and full of people yelling out (figuratively of course) “Hey look at me! I’m interesting!”

I didn’t really think they were…

[shaneMember]

ba ha!
I could do it again…I just don’t possess the patience required!

[shaneMember]

Keep your tools OFF your bike!
Grab a bum bag…a quality one and throw all your tools plus extras in that puppy.

The tool bag on the bike might be better used for a spare tube maybe, plus a spare lever…but never tools!

Why? I’ve lost tools from my bag on the XR plus I’ve lost tools from a cheap bumbag. I now have a ‘proper’ (read one of Porky’s products) and have not lost a tool since.

…bit like a peer to peer file sharing thingo. Works good for finding phat beets!!!!

Anyone have a link to the cross country-type races they hold over there? The Fotail coverage on that is terrible!

[shaneMember]

Thanks for that Mr WR450!

I need to purchase a micrometer and vernier I guess…good excuse to visit the tool shop!

Good thing about the Vor is, it’s gear driven and if onecompresses the valve springs the buckets come out with a ‘magnet on a stick’!!!

Clearances TB? I can’t remember…after the nxt ride I’ll pull the covers off and check them again, properly. (God I hop KTM o Hberg bucket shims fit!)

[shaneMember]

You’re a boofhead TB! I can measure the valve clearances with my own cans! And XR clearances?? They’re so easy…you should be doing them for free!!!

Now..about them thar shims…
