Old school style car & bike races still happen, they just dont put them on TV much anymore.

Advertising is what keeps sports alive, especially car racing.

And if it wasn’t for modern technology we wouldn’t be sitting here using the interweb thingy.

Im off to the TAB to put money on a few cars and I think a trifecta with Lowndes in it is a must.

I see race website has a link to a scanner site so you can listen in over the web to what’s happening on the mountain]

Ford vs Holden what a joke!

Its Lowndes vs the rest of the world

My weekend was almost sabotaged! I went to pick up my parts today and they had ordered the wrong water pump seal kit! They were just about to order one express from WA when I suggested that they check if there was any out with the mechanics and sure enough they had one! I’m still nervous about starting the bike after my first rebuild though!

Dont forget to put engine oil in when it’s back together :blush:
Then just start it and if it sounds OK go for a ride around the block to warm it up & seat the new rings.
I’m sure it will be fine.

Is there a detailed specs. section in the manual?

If my crude measurement got 0.3mm wouldn’t that mean they’re definitely under the 0.8mm maximum? Is there a minimum gap?

Bugger that means I’m back to the beginning! Oh well at least I’m getting plenty of practice with this!

There will be a minimum gap and it cant be any less than that for expansion. It needs to be measured acurately and be close but not less than the minimum gap.

AustBlue I recomend taking it apart and check the ring end gaps are to spec, then follow Mr Blues instructions.
Do not put the rings in a vice to file the ends, put the file in the vice and move the ring over it by hand and do it in the direction that shaves metal away from the ring surface which mates to the cylinder bore.

Personally I like to fit rings & piston with one circlip in, to the barrel then lowering the lot onto the rod.
Keep it all spotless too except for the 2T oil.

I with you Boony, the DRZ is a great bike if you dont mind the weight.

When I fitted the StainTune header pipe to mine it gave a good boost to bottom – mid range power because it is a bigger diameter than the stock header.
Look into doing the whole exhaust if you can.

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it’s his daughter’s birthday.

He pulls over to a toy shop and asks the sales person, ‘How much for one of those Barbie’s in the display window?’

The salesperson answers, ‘Which one do you mean, sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95’.

The amazed father asks: ‘It’s what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?’

The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: ‘Sir…, Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken’s Car, Ken’s House, Ken’s Boat, Ken’s Furniture, Ken’s Computer, one of Ken’s Friends, and a key chain made with Ken’s balls.

Welcome to Old Bulls Mckinnd, are you from Port Mac?

Have you got the full Remus system? How much difference did it make?

Also be sure to post an intro for yourself in the “introduce yourself” section and make sure you tell everyone what they are missing by not having a Beemer eh.

Lots of good people here to ride with.

Cheers.

Boony – I don’t think continual riding on the beach will do much for your chain and sprockets, they will probably wear a bit quicker than normal. The odd run here and there shouldn’t hurt providing you give you bike a wash after

Yeah just a good wash and spray the moving parts with WD or Inox.
The beach is great for monos, power slides and hugh donuts
