Thats a nice tank there Dan,, will take even more weight off the rear wheel,,,,,yeh great,,..just what we need:(

Might be large counties I can throw your way now.

Only problem is I might start wearing out front tyres now:( mightn’t be able to wheelie as good with the extra weight

I find my bike easier to wheel stand with the 17 litre tank then with the standard 10.5 litre and big gearing (fast gearing)

Riddle me this guys

Ben said about his rear tyre drama

“I broke a spoke, which is normally a pretty minor problem, but it can cause you big problems when you’re out in the desert,” a philosophical Grabham said.

“The spoke then punctured the tyre and I was forced to take it off and ride on the rim until the end of the stage. I fixed that and just had to get on with in the second stage. These things are typical of the Safari – it’s not the end of the world and I’ll push on.”

Now why didnt he fit a spare tube that he would be carrying, wouldnt he? The only reason you would have a tube is if you had a mousse fitted, and they dont normally use rear mousses because they cant handle the high speeds. So he probably didnt have a mousse so would you race through 100km plus stages without a tube?

Just a quick update. Saw that Benny lost an hour on the 1st SS today…here’s why!

Disaster struck defending bike champion, Ben Grabham, on the massive 244 kilometre first stage of the day when he punctured a tyre.

“I broke a spoke, which is normally a pretty minor problem, but it can cause you big problems when you’re out in the desert,” a philosophical Grabham said.

“The spoke then punctured the tyre and I was forced to take it off and ride on the rim until the end of the stage. I fixed that and just had to get on with in the second stage. These things are typical of the Safari – it’s not the end of the world and I’ll push on.”

Undeterred, Grabham then took over a minute off his rivals on the next stage as he aims to get his title defence back on track.

So, at the end of the day, Out in front is Todd Smith (brother of Jacob – Condo boys originally) on his KTM530. 1 and a half minutes back to brother Jacob on a CRF450, who’s 13 seconds in front of his team mate AJ.
The top 7 consist of x4 KTM530’s / x2 CRF 450’s and a WR450.

Ben made up 3 and half minutes on Todd in the last SS this arvo.

What do you reckon……..Can he make up 55 minutes in 4 days?

Crash

At the halfway mark today Ben has made back 7 mins on the leaders

Ok tinkerer here (fiddler even:dry: ).

At medium to normal slow pace I have a bike that to quote a dyed in the wool 4T freak is “the perfect 2 stroke for hillclimbing” it has oodles of grunt down low, with absolute instantaneous throttle response until……….I get into nasty overgrown clutch riding snotty S/T, it doesn’t fuel up (I have been around long enough to know when a bike has jetting or burn issues)but loses the lugability. Now the radiator doesn’t boil, but the bike reacts like it is overheating, which i belieev it is…somewhere in the combustion area is not getting the heat texchange it should be and as a result the power is suffering. Now these are the tracks where I need lowend response the most, cause with a handful of revs to aviod stalling and clutchwork misjudged you launch into the trees and undergrowth all too quickly.

This Can fix this Blue, once the system is equalized you wont experience that anymore

Money back guarantee rat :laugh: is that it? Big claim that :ohmy:
