Remind me next time we go riding to bring a ticket and defect book,

Glad you enjoyed the report

This thread is fact whereas the other was conjecture. Not that the truth should stand in the way of a good old one eyed shit slinging match

Oh this one is fact because its from the internerd I understand :S :laugh: :laugh:

It does sound more likely than ECKS’s one but Still like you say cant stop a good shit sling because because the facts arent correct

Great read Greg cracker thanks for making the effort and keep them coming. Bloody expensive Birdsville pub the robbing bastards, no surprise the most expensive place we struck was Innaminka and the same bastard own both Birdsville and Innaminka :pinch:
Ah the little Plato east of Maree Boulder, Fish and I rode up it, Dejay to his credit had a decent crack. Funny you couldn’t talk Link into stopping I couldn’t talk Nick into it over the blue tooth. It was a shitty like climb eh, looks good from the road. View was worth the arse pucker :laugh:

The OBT APC crew did a good job of putting our stickers all around :laugh:

Look forward to the next installment

6mm is huge Moto :ohmy: You may have measured it the wrong way mate. You did measure it in the bore didn’t you? Use the piston to put it into the bore, square it with the piston about half an inch in. Maximum would be about 18 thousands of and inch I would have thought but your manual will have it mate.

I like this thread well done what a huge job. Am looking forward to it being finished will pull the 370 out when your going if you want to do some long track or short track VMX style

Found this after I posted hope it helps it helps it’s Eric Gorr and you may have his stuff?

The best way to know if the rings are worn is to measure the ring end gap. Put the ring in the cylinder and use the piston to push it down about 1/2 inch from the top evenly spaced. Now use a feeler gauge to measure the width of the ring gap. Normally, the maximum gap is 0.018–0.025 inch.

Ring End Gap rule of thumb

Ring end gaps for conventional rings…General rules of thumb

top ring .0045″ to .0055″ per inch of bore diameter (example 4″ bore x .005″ = .020″ end gap.

Second ring .0055 to .0065″ per inch of bore diameter (example 4″ bore x .006″ + 0.024″ end gap.

Oil rings are a minimum of .007″ per inch of bore.

Total Seal top rings are fitted at .0075″ to .0085″ per inch of bore.

Well as you are all aware, I recently purchased a new DR650. It was imbarrasing to ride as a Postie bike made more noise than it. So I fitted a new exhaust yesterday and it now sounds like a dirt bike.

Out of this comes a question : Do I now need to alter the fuel mixture to suit this new exhaust or do I just do nothing but enjoy the new sound.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Gaz

If it’s a Barrett Gaz I didn’t touch DeJay’s when I fitted it. It pops a bit but has done 10k and hasn’t missed a beat, goes good as well
