I was staying at Mt Vic for work a few years ago and the pub was a rip off back then too. By the time you paid for a taxi to Blackheath and back it was still a much cheaper night out than drinking at Mt Vic. Its funny how some things never change.

It looks a bit wet in the pics. Mal do you have knobbies on the BMW or road slicks?

Yep it’s hard to get drunk there LC.

I still have the original open tread road tyres on it. They’re good for Donna and I two up and crusing around but chasing TB through the bush is not one of thier strong points.

Chase ha you didnt go the massive river with African quick sand and the cliff face that I rode up dodging rock climbers and people ab sailing down

Now where are the videos :laugh:

TB,

If the basket fingers are notched can they be filed down or is it a case for a new basket. Do they tend to notch on the outer finger or the inner or both.

They notch on the driven side and yes they can be filed which ever side that is in that case

The bolts on the springs. Do they get done up tight (ie. hard up against the threaded stems) or do they get done up to point where the springs are compressed to a certain tension.

The bolts do up tight against the post in the basket, that with the height and tension of the springs sets the spring load on the plates

Thanks for the post. It helps me heaps.

Happy it helps

Would .01 of a mm or .001 of an inch make that much difference?

No it will be fine, I actually ran on advice my valves on all my 600s at 0.004 inlet and 0.005 exhaust and they did more klms then 99.9% of the bikes here and never ever have I failed a rocker or cam

Yeah sure are there any scones Menace, can we have them after our first loop?

Yeah Rocket they have been chasing help here

Be a shame

For ease speed and accuracy I would still use feeler gauges. The difference between 0.12mm and 0.10mm via the degrees method would be do much rooting around Bull XR ones have good access anyways

Sure Trent will be in there tomorrow

Went out and found a suitable parking location for 40+ cars today. Mal5.1 took the Bemmer I was on the trusty NX. We scouted the locations and some tracks. Got a little inspired by the yellow NX’s camel videos :laugh:
Had lunch at Mt Vic pub and a beer at Blackheath Pub before we went our seperate ways
Will add to Mal’s ride report when he does one :laugh:

Will get the directions etc for the start location typed up and ready for sending later
