so do your nuts come loose TB :sick: every 1000 :silly:

Sorry Rocket I missed that question :silly: , yes and no is my answer :blink: . I have had them come loose in under a 1000kms when fitted with new bolts and locite day 2 of the 2006 A4DE actually, Yellow Mountain 2007 but not completely loose but the first stages but found them because I checked them. And no they dont normally come loose but I do always check them thats why I havent destroyed a hub either which has been my point all along

Cheap bolts have given me dramas before as they stretched :ohmy:

you sound like a dealer TB passing the buck if the bolts come loose in a thousand klms means someone stuffed up fitting the sproket to me simple .or a crap product.do the bolts come loose in your bikes in a 1000klms i dout it

No not at all Rocket, but think off it like this. Lets say he has done 8 x 125km rides if they are hard singles like Boony the single riding legend rides up there they could be around 6 to 8hrs each. So for the argument lets say 7 hrs each, times that 7hrs by the 8 rides thats 56hrs riding give or take. So 56hrs or 1000kms as Boony said my question is when does the dealers responsibility stop and the owners responsibility start? 50 plus hours is a few hours riding, its actually almost 2 A4DEs and your would check your sprocket bolts during 2 4days wouldnt you?

Again bad luck I reckon

The dealer or the owner would have changed the gearing. I have seen the ADR fitted sprockets at Sutto’s that they change when doing a pre delivery they are heaps smaller than 52. That said if the dealer did change the sprocket and its done 1000kms its hardly their fault cause if you are doing 100km rides thats 10 rides. Maintenance is the the answer to prevent something like that,like said new nuts, tight, locite or even another thought could be that too tight a chain pulling on the sprocket and bolts, its a KTM thing cracked hubs for too tight a chain.
You can see the fretting marks on the back of the sprocket in the 2nd picture

Bad luck

Thanks Mick Congrats on the good work done. I will make a point of ringing Barry and thanking him. I was disappointed no one stepped up and took on the custodian role for the jug which is why the jug didn’t get sent up. The next role for the jug will be the birthday ride which we will want a custodian for if anyone is interested.

On the birthday ride I can say this will be the biggest ride birthday ride ever run, the prize list will be bigger than ever and at this stage if you attend and numbers are like last year you will have a one in two chance almost of taking home a prize and the prizes are normally first class

There will also be a special guest this year, a real guest for a change

Old bull of the year voting will open soon as well

Stay tuned and good job again Mick

i was racing PEP at nundle remember Azza?

i raced TBs 650 on it too. there wasnt much in it…

it all depended who had less wheelspin :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

same with LC$skin, we were wheelspinning up to 130km. i run out of legs before i hit 140

sick fun :whistle: :laugh:

Menaces KTM is the quickest of the 300’s I have run there was nothing in it like Meance said even forgetting the wheel spin that thing hauls. The truth be told I thought I would use my top speed but a corner came up I had the inside line he held it on longer rode around the outside and smoked me in a wicked drift

I have run Champo’s TM 300 on the bitumen and I could edge away up to 110 kph and then leave it for dead as I had longer gearing but even with my taller gearing I could beat it. I also ran a 300 husky at Condo years ago in the paddocks and could get to his top speed faster then him. I have tried lining Ollie’s Gas Gas up but we haven’t had a decent run

There is no doubt a 300 is the smoker to own if you are that way inclined
