where’s the pic of me coming unstuck TB?!!? i wanted to take pics of where k8ii came to rest. but thought i didn’t have time. ahhh anyway.

top work ICU Menace.

my thought is to tighten it up after you pump the tyre up. that way you prevent pinching the tube between the lock and tyre/rim. ??

[drewMember]

with it out did you try a set of jumpers from a batt. you know is good?

i doubt a starter will spin freely by hand as the magnets and winding would generate resistance. when you spin an electric motor it will generate current.

depending on the size of the cable you used as the jumper from the bike batt. it may not have been able to carry enough current to turn the bike over.

did you try jumpers to the bike while the batt. and the starter in the bike? if that works could indicate the batt. in the bike is not up to scratch.

here you go TB, did my rear when i put the new tyre on for Kenda.

KTM LC4-E 2001 build 2002 model
rear
numbers on the seal: HCH brand, 6205-2R5 x 2 and 1x that just has 6205 on the seal but is a double race bearing,

the 3 bearings are all the same internal and external measurements. and i got mine form a shop that stocks bearings, they had the 6205-2R5 in stock but had to get the double race one in over night.

new bearings are KBC 6025DD x2 and i’ll have to look up the KBC number for the 1x double race one if i still have the box floating around.

hope this is what you are after.

a side note/ Q? is there a difference in quality as to brands? i know price can make a difference, some times. but what about brands?

[drewMember]

doesn’t sound like the batt. is the prob.

if the + side of the starter is getting 10v, maybe check the earth side of the relay and the starter. see if you can find any bared or loose connections on any wires. loose connector on the relay maybe??

are the terminals on the batt. clean? not loose?

bout all i can think of that it could be.

here are the few pics i got. not very exciting but they add to the story.

Aido and Dave to the left of where all our bikes were lined up, in the start area after scrutineering, about 1/2 of the bikes are here at this stage. you can just see Aido’s bike in the very far right, he said it was just his luck to be starting from behind a tree!

TB is stumped even before it’s all started, Mal could not be bothered taking his camel pack off to have to put it back on again. but we didn’t realise the start would be almost over an hour away.

1/2 an hour after we parked our bikes in the start area, bikes were still arriving.
(Mal just making sure his hair is still photo worthy :laugh: )

Menace trying his best not to look disappointed , Billt looking cool as a cucumber.

this was about the most still Aido was before the start, keeping warm as you can see.
(TB was doing his best to wind Aido up, we were not sure if it was working or not)

the scrutineering line, to the right of the pic is the sound truck, just in front of the scrutineering tent.

just to the right of the scrutineering tent was the campground A, about 500 meters or so further on in the distance is were our cars and trailers were parked.

this is one of the only pics i had time to take while on the loop, this was on the first loop at a hairpin corner, where i had pulled up to remove my number plate ect. that had grabbed the rear tyre on one of the bigger erosion mounds.

a young bloke ( :laugh: ) came in too hot and went off the track, 2 other guys had stopped to fix a flat front that had caused the rider to go off in the same spot a few minuets before i stopped to take off the rego plate.

the guy on the right is the mate of the guy that was stopped to fix the flat, helping the rider back up to the track after we dragged his bike up.

TB happy but ready to hit the road home, i had just pulled up after my 2nd loop, TB and Mal were that far ahead of me they had time to change, load their bikes and gear, grab their free meal and drink and time to eat it. they must have just been waiting long enough to say their good byes to everyone.

left of the pic: JAK’s bike was already loaded too, Billt’s and Dave’s (i hope his name is dave :blush: ) bikes in the middle of the pic.

that is the sum total of all the pics i had time to take.

but was a great day, mad better by being able to attend with a top group of blokes

hey Bubba good to meet you. however we vicco’s voted….

Bec is much cooler than you!

[drewMember]

cool on the pic TB! can’t wait to see em!

i didn’t want to waste time getting the camera out of my back pack and taking pics of my poor k8ii in the predicament i got her into. as i wanted to finish the 1st loop in time to do the second loop.

[drewMember]

Thanks to Menace for organising the weekend!

thanks to TB, Mal and Bubba for making the treck down;)

thanks to JAK and Chop for the fuel! as some dumb bunny prepared to fail

thanks to Don and his lovely wife for all the looking after, again someone for got a decent extension lead :blush: .

oh and thanks to Mrs Mal for the white rocky road;) it is grouse !!
good to meet Built :woohoo: :laugh: 😆 oh umm i mean Billt and Dave. and to put faces to TB and Mal.

150kms of good fun, except for the big off in the 1st 5min :unsure: :S :blink:

but only a broken tail light lens, a blinker, and a bruised ego 😆

took 3 fellow riders to help to drag poor k8ii the 5′ back up to the track. they prob. not ever read this but i thank them again.

after that i did not have another off/ agronomy refresher until mud slippery rocks took control of my front and i had a lay down. so all in all had a top time.

and i owe Mr Dastardly an unreserved apology for implying he was a fake! although i cannot say i definitely met him for sure. however i accused D.D. of hiding behind a persona. and i have only just woken up to myself that , that is exactly what i had been doing the last 12 months. :blush:

i also apologise to TB and Menace for the poo they have had to sort out because of what i started over “that picture”.

thanks to Kenda tyres and toylok sorry Menace your lucky orange E 99 ticket wasn’t a winner. but my purple E 34 was!! :woohoo: new rear tyre. Dave’s purple E ticket was good also getting a 5.5m cut resistant cable toy lok system.

all in all had a top weekend. :woohoo: :kiss: :side:
the few pics i have will be posted in due time.
