    Why not 890 & 120 rear wheel Hp...
    734 bore kit / plus 12mm stroker crank / stage 3 raptor cam / 2mm bored throttle body...
    The XT running gear can't use the power its got... with out doing the suspension ...

    Forks are in..Had it ready... but pulled it apart again... replace all wheel bearing/seals & linkage bearings..
    figgered while I have it in bits..may aswell do everything..Then I can forget about it for a couple years...

    The metal Mule 2 into 1 on the XTR is almost unrideable with the baffle out for any length of time..
    But it picks up a few more hp...

    That's what I'm worried about. Think they've lost some of the packing. Done 16,000 km's on these mufflers. Might have to repack them

    Everyone should follow your lead on that, the overnighters should take tenting gear just in case.

    Island Gully is only 4 bunks you know? Sedgemere has 6. How many riders are staying Saturday night now? Most likely some will be tenting regardless if the hut is empty. I'm happy to tent, especially if there are noisy snorers in the group!

    Saturday would not only be hard but it'll be very lonely also, no one likes riding with a bike with no baffles. Too bloody noisy, it scares stock, pisses off farmers and gives other riders the shits; not ADV PC

    Thanks for the offer Neels, very kind of you! If I were more organised I'd have taken you up on your offer but I'll have to make do with my thinner one and wear lots of thermals. No problem, am used to sleeping in my clothes anyhoo
