TB have spoken to Whiteboy-Alan-Rocket and he is keen for a container. So it’s 2x 4L (about $44?). While we are at it we may as well get a bottle of the Motul magic filter oil too (no idea what it’s worth, $15??). Let me know (PM) or here what you need from us/me to get the ball rolling for the shipment to go to Pillon’s.
Cheers for that.

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

This was taken from another forum

. 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

Great photos Ian spending times with the kids cant be replaced and only lived once we have been talkig about a Old Bull kids weekend must try and get it happening eh.

Bad luck Ollie first time you have got the gasser in 4th and crashed it mate, keep trying :laugh:

First time I saw Merriman in the flesh was in the Watagans during the 2005 A4DE we setup in the bush in a single trail section I knew, we rode in no one else was around. Merriman came through slow looking silky smooth, we all stood and looked at one another and said “Merriman must have a problem he is out” that night looked at the days results he was fastest by a country mile :ohmy: Slow is fast sometimes

Ok TB my stupid question for the day. Apart from the bike not wanting to start cold, is there anything else that would cause me to have to go through all this to check the clearances. Or put another way, if I have no problems starting I take it I should just leave the clearances alone and not worry?

Look here Snowy… http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=72&id=92957&Itemid=75

Jsut ignore my ugly mug :laugh: :laugh:

Damn I forgot I even made that video :blink:

There you go Snow

TB

[GregMember]

Snow you dont have to go through all that to check the valves :blink:

To check the valves you only have to get to the take the tapper cover off stage and set the engine up on TDC. Check the clearances like in the pictures, if they need doing well that’s for another video maybe one day

It pays to keep an eye on the clearances before it gets to this stage, it is part of the recommended scheduled servicing for all matesk

Sounds good mate count me in!!

Will add you to the list now Sam, please make sure you read the first post on page one and understand what you require and need to bring.

If you have ultra heavy tubes good for you, if not run a little bit more pressure around 18psi will help prevent flats in the rocky sections. Whatever tubes you have fitted make sure you have a spare tube and some spanners to get the wheels off.

See you at Capertee and welcome to the site

Nice find Adam Sometimes if the bike is parked in a quiet area you can pull the clutch in and out and you will hear the frayed inner cable clicking (catching) in the outer. Found the Tenere one doing that recently

I did some investigation into the head casting early model theory today Boulder because Krusty had mentioned it after talking with a bloke that knows his stuff and does a lot of head work. Problem is it is supposed to be a casting coolant flow problem that causes the valve to wear, well that doesn’t make sense? The valve face and seat wears and thats the area that dust attacks. If it was a coolant related problem it was pointed out it would be valve stem wear because the greatest coolant heat transfer would be there. As also pointed out the cylinder casting hasn’t changed since the engine first came out which is why the manual decompression actuator is still in the head as shown in my pictures from pre 2000 maybe even 350 days
( remember me pulling that out to get onto the head bolt in the photos ) Also explained today when a DR head is flow checked more air passes through the left hand intake valve then the right hand side one. Guess which is the common valve that closes on a DR if it gets dust through it?

I think it’s all dust related :dry: that said I want to talk with a guy on the central coast that knows his way around these and I can’t speak with him until Monday.

More later :laugh:
