I bought my mac only for video editing and OBT, nothing else. There are other programs out there and funny that the people using them swear by them same as the people here using mac’s and Imovie swear by it. Its what you are used to, imovie is good but I am sure it and a mac isnt the be all and end all. My choice was cemented by the fact that STM had experience that he was willing to share. Chris on the other hand has done some awesome movies I have seen at his place not on youtube he did on a PC.

Get the mac its easy :laugh:

I just use any old ‘dot 4’ stuff or whatever the manual suggests and change it once a year. Hydraulic clutch fluid once a year too if you have one. (Its not brake fluid, its a special clutch fluid)

Some bikes use a mineral oil type clutch fliud and some don’t. Check your owners manual or it will be written oon the resevior. If I remember correctly Dejay had this issue last year at Micks. He bought a new clutch master cylinder and was told it had to use mineral hydraulic oil. :ohmy: This was not correct and it was meant to use brake fluid. It ruined the seals, wouldn’t bleed and he had no clutch for the weekend, luckily he had a rekluse. :huh:

If only we had looked at the resevior cap before we started to bleed it. :whistle: :blush: It stated “brake fluid”

A dozen beers before we started to bleed it didn’t help!!!!!!! :blink: :blush: :sick:

Cheers,

Yeah thats right Lefty, he had to rekit both again as the slave cylinder failed cause of swollen rubbers as well :unsure: Like you said it was on the cap but we all but faith in Scotty at Sutto’s. Sutto’s provided the kits and correct fluid free of charge

I reckon you should do it every 6 months or like LC at least every 12 months. As the fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere it goes off. It does over a long period a little at a time and you dont notice until you replace the fluid and get the wow factor like you Nick. You dont realise how bad there are cause you got used to it over time as it went off but new fluid properly bleed :woohoo:

I reckon DOT 4 will suit most of us DOT 5.1 if you are faster or harder on your brakes. I am a rear brake dragger. Be aware fluid goes off in the bottle so I reckon if its a year or older maybe think of getting a new bottle. I have run the Motul for years Nick (I like Motul products but thats just me) I have recently been put onto a fluid by Lefty that by all accounts is the ducks guts. I had boiled the fluid twice on the rear of the Tenere, Lefty got me onto the new stuff and I havent boiled it again. (the backing plates on the pads now go a very dark blue :blink: )

To answer your question regarding the fluid boiling and feeling different did you notice a difference in the rear brake on your Tenere when you boiled in on Yengo that evening we rode through?

Just found the video

Come on TB whats this slanging off at ADV riders? and I dare you to make that comment to Jason Barrett.

.

JB doesnt drink those warm milk drinks :blink: Ask Dejay what and how many JB drinks after a ride :laugh: :laugh:

Oh and it had nothing to do with ADV riders again the warm milk was the barb :laugh: Real adv riders dont latte anyway, well Fish does at Windsor but he is questionable at the best of times :laugh: :whistle: :blink:

I better get out of this thread or I will have to go on the ride or get in trouble :blush:

Well two days out we have 16 riders, good even number for pairing or small groups (will need small numbers because the dust will be as thick as a front row forward)

So will I cap it at 16, I will get 16 route packs together and set out to take. Any last minute things or stuff needed from Sutto’s or Tekniks tomorrow arvo or Friday morning ring me on 0499 089715 any last minute problems or pull outs same number please

Look forward to seeing everyone there friday evening, if you can get your GPS to me as soon as you get there I can get it loaded so I am not sitting around late. If you can also make sure your GPS memory is cleared out before you get there that would be great. There are 17 routes with around 490 odd way points each one so an empty memory on most will be required

I’m keen for this ride but don’t pencil me in just yet. I will need to attempt some shift shuffling at work before I get to sample the best of the beautiful north coast.

I’ll shout the latte’s if I can pull it off.

Latte’s available at Nymboida but I think a beer will taste a lot better.

True that Maso Husky riders would drink warm milk but I reckon :whistle: so no surprise there :laugh:
