    Here's hoping you've hit the nail on the head. Hope the chambers not all gunked up. I had a TM 125 in the 70's, it wasn't pulling hard in the higher rev's. Local bike shop in Balclutha at the time cleaned it out (don't know how) but shit it flew after that, so crisp.

    I've already had a go at that

    Normally use a gas torch and heat them up and the carbon will start burning, we did one which we blew compressed air up it as well which got it going real well

    One of the neighbours came down to make sure the garage wasn't on fire

    You know what you're doing by the sound of things. Hope it doesn't keep costing to get it sorted. I've seen some RMX on the trail rides and they go really well.

    Had a bit of a play in the garage tonight to see if the powervalve was working and ended up winding back the spring tension on the powervalve, it now actuates earlier and the bike revs faster and feels crisper so maybe that is it, be next weekened before I get to try it anyway

    That makes sense, On my beta I have the valve screwed in a fair way to make the powerband come in later, suits my riding style, but it still peaks out no problem

    Right so RMX seems sorted so this is next on the list, used one of these on Trail Rides for ages, not much needs to be done on it I've got a couple of these and the other is going to be somewhat tidier

    Well done that man, you're going to have plenty of shed time to sort those IT's. Onwards and upwards while you're on a roll. Enjoying the updates

    Popped down to the Waitohi ride today, so pleased I did.
    It wasn't very hard, but there was something about it that just made it fun.

    Up loaded a lap for anyone that missed going to it, I'd for sure do the two odd hour drive again next year.
    And I'm so loving the lack of dust!

    Video has been up loaded in HD, but will take some time to show up.

    I thought I was racing Saturday but as I found out today I didn't even have the right month so it's a definite maybe

    Glenmark I'm told, not far before Omihi. No info up yet. They're leaving it till the last minute it seems. I've not done this ride so can't rate it. I'm sure it'll be fun.
