How did an oil leak make Eagle think he needed new piston rings?
He saw an oil leak and thought it was coming from the barrel head area, so if we had to reseal the barrel and it was coming of it was thought that new rings would be thrown at it

So I travelled up to Dan’s place this morning, Beagle had told me his bike was leaking oil from cylinder head, barrel joint. I was worried that there is no oil there at that joint, its coolant and combustion. When I turned up a hung over beagle was there as was Racey Tracy and Champo. I had a look at the bike and wasn’t convinced it could be coming from where eagle thought I asked him to take it for ride so we could be sure. Champo pointed out he had dropped the bike of on Thursday as I requested so it would be cold but I explained that I had to be sure where the leak was coming from rather then going of half cocked.
When he returned I found the oil was leaking from where the auto can chain tensioner goes through the barrel (because there is oil there ) I knew there was an “o” ring there from having them apart before. I showed eagle and sent him down the road for an “o” ring (see him if you want some rings and gaskets for a KLX250)While he was gone I checked his valve clearances and ran an eye over the top end, all good.
So I checked Moto’s valve clearances, these have never been checked before, it has done around 7,000kms and all within spec, how good is that. We also got treated to some of Moto’s secret maintence tricks, check his spark plug out :ohmy:
And he doesn’t have a spare one. Now has funny as that is the spark plug, I did mention that for some of the bigger rides it was requested that people have a spark plug and a tube, he proudly said he doesn’t carry either, that other people will have them, if you see him stopped in the bush leave him there I say :angry:
He was a big help to Dan today, Dan toiled all day on Moto’s trailer and did a good job
Moto helping Dan
Dan going hard all day
We also had a chance to study Eagles gun gear stick setup, can anybody work out how hard it would be down shift????
I took eagles bike for a ride, I tried to do a wheelie on it and couldn’t get it to do a wheelie in 2nd gear, honest it would be the most under powered bike I have ridden that I can remember, sorry Beags
I changed the oil and filter in my bike, over filling it and making a mess :angry:
A good day was had by all I reckon

Kylie, Dan and I are all having a go, Dan will ring and book us all in Monday

Whatever Beagle enjoy your cleaning
