Righto start start raiding your wife’s sewing kit and getting her soft tape measure (STM you can just get the one out of your 250 sewing kit :laugh: )

Please follow the instruction below and post your size, no commitment yet just want to know size at this stage it may make a difference when screwing for a price, never know

Yeah welcome mate you will like it here I am sure. Plenty of rides (mostly rego required) good guys and gals plenty of helpful info and good banter

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah Adam, start a thread and I will get you guys a deal. Explain what’s going on and explain it may take a few weeks to get numbers etc. You will have to settle on one brand of braces, I recommend the Asterisk because I have worn them for 6 years and done probably 100000kms in them. You guys work out what brand you want, like I said I will get you all a bulk deal with pleasure.

TB

[GregMember]

With Boony and Snowy having damaged or repaired knees now, TR may be looking for a set and I know of a few others that maybe in the market. What about a bulk buy for Asterisks?

If someone gets the numbers I will find a deal through a few different sponsors if you guys want

Havent been there yet myself, for the record Sutto’s have Asterisk braces If I get time this weekend I may go and stick my nose in there, I notice there is a fellow postie rider working there :laugh:

Hi TB,
Phone number worked, all booked in to one of the dorms !! Cheers TB.

Now, I was talking to Shirl, and she mentioned she can provide a buffet breakfast (cereal, toast, bacon and eggs, coffee, tea etc ) for $15 a head on the Saturday morning at a time to suit us.

If we get some numbers from the other riders, is this something we should organise in advance, or TB do you have alternative intentions?

Regards, Carl

Look its up to you guys, there is fine or even Cresent head van park is another option, about an hr into the ride. Whatever suits you guys

Thanks guys for a fun ride well while it lasted anyway :dry: I was having a ball :woohoo:

Ollie pretty much covered the days events and my moment of “I’m not quite sure what happened” :blush: :pinch: :whistle:

After the boys left I took the rocker cover off to look into what maybe the problem. I could rock the engine back and forth a bit but not round and round :unsure:

Took the cams out and was just looking around and noticed something on top of the cam chain drive gear.

It appears that the resident stray washer that had been happily living in the engine took offence to my flipping of the bike and decided it would be funny to lodge itself in a position that would end the days enjoyment

Where did it came from :huh: How long had it been there :unsure: I’ll never know

[attachment=4089]2013-07-21-213.jpg[/attachment]

[attachment=4090]Washer.jpg[/attachment]

I couldn’t set the cam chain tensioner so I assumed the ratchet component suffered under the strain of the extra loading caused by the washer.

I had a manual tensioner from Sam’s bike on the shelf so a quick check on the web and they’re the same.

I got the bike back together this arvo and she started up fine however a bit rattly.

Given it’s been going round and round for a while now I guess its time for a freshen up and proper check of various components (especially those parts associated with the cam chain )

Adam.

Great report guys, looks like it was a good ride I haven’t ridden Ourimbah since I worked there years and years ago.

Adam with this washer are you sure something else isn’t undone or loose etc because I struggle to believe a washer could have just sat there unmoving for 7000kms. I reckon it’s not the first time the bike as been upside down and I am sure the amount a dirt bike gets tossed around falls over and gets air it should have got tangled up in something inside the engine before now.

Is it possible it belongs behind a nut or hub or something from the previous repair and was sitting in the sump until upside down caused it to fall into the timing chain? I mean it’s happened very soon after that failure and repair, this makes sense to my mechanical thinking (not that it is the be all and end all :laugh: )
Just putting it out there is all, good luck with it
