TB; how did you like the auto clutch on Mals Husky? Same bike as the auto clutch thread isn’t it?

Oh, that red jerry can on the trailer might have some water in it now :blush:

Yes its the same bike Wikd, I liked the rekulse on the 300 smoker but on my bike no not needed. I would only have a rekulse to prevent stalling the engine and the 650 has more then enough flywheel effect to prevent such a thing, yet the lighter flywheel of the smokers would have me wanting one.

The jerry can fark!! your as bad as Salina, shit how many rain drops do you figure could get down there :laugh: :laugh: I will pour it in the XR mate no probs

What did you think of the smoker TB? Like Mal said, you look really smooth on it. Great looking riding spot Mal!

I enjoyed the ride Moto and as we are planning the purchase of a new bike in the later half of this year (the XR is staying, it will always be here) I rode it with particular interest as I have always liked them.

I was expecting more from the engine performance wise it seemed to for me sign of up the top to early. Everyone raves about 300 smokers and their power but I felt a little disappointed.

I loved the brakes and the whole sit on the bike feel, movement around the bike was easy and unrestricted. The steering is very responsive yet doesn’t display any head shake. All the controls are easy at hand and light the kick start that I have read can be hard to use seemed ok and the bike started very easy, as for it not having a magic button if you stall it on a snotty hill, well it doesn’t need one because of the rekulse

The rekulse was very confidence inspiring in the fact that when braking for a corner you didn’t have to worry at all about stalling the engine, think about that for a second as you scream into a corner that is one les thing to worry about doing (and a bloody big thing!!) you can just hit the brake as hard as you like and worry only about riding the bike. You can see in the 3rd video I fan the clutch as per normal everything besides the fact that you can stop and be idling in 1st gear clutch out and not moving is normal. Would I have one? Well today after riding the Husky I couldn’t imagine riding a smoker without one which begs the big question could I own a smoker?

Thanks again for the ride Mal

Well some interesting things from all this for me are

1/ Why get rid of a perfectly good front wheel

2/ Rat, you want in? After all this work the guy would want someone that will turn up not just say they will Besides Rat if the thing bites in and flips forward you don’t need anymore brain damage

3/ And the mystery friend shouldnt be to hard to track down now our news reporter (who should know better :huh: ) has their car rego clearly in the photo :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
