Shed night

[warewolf]

I reakon a bit more time, a can of ether, and a tow rope and you'd be away

Yeah, and if the bugger don't start, don't tow him back!

Then he'd really be AWAY.

Um I ahem won't be able to make the next one or the one after that

We don't know when they'll be yet. You psycho psychic?

Your bike pisses me off.........It should go

Dodgy stator maybe?
'Bout the only electrical bit we didn't get to.

Had the same problem on the DRZ, but on mine the problem was a burnt out coil on the stator. The simptoms of this is weak spark, which makes it n bugger to start and idle in the cold. you can test this by taking out your sparkplug and holding it close to the cylinder head. you should be able to get a spark of about 10mm if all is still good.

i am sorta glad there wasn't any ether there, we woulda had the armed offenders squad round.

That does sound like a likely candidate, my DR-Z gets taken away tomorrow so I'll officially be bikeless until NMC get it sorted.

Next Shed night looming...

Main point raised recently is how to set suspension sag, and what it all means. I can bring numerous references, how to's, etc as material for discussion; and a bike that wants the fork preload changed and measured.

They replaced the plug cap and stator

Wednesday 29 sounds good to me, I'll come after work.

Now the bike is at the shop being made reliable (Morleys this time, as far as I could get the bike under its own steam)...possible top end rebuild. A guy Richard is working on it, he's currently working on a 1979 DR370 VMX bike so I figured he was qualified enough. Suspension set up woul be great to play with, I'll definitely be there, bike or no bike.

Yes was going to say, well done that man!

[Willdat?]

Got the 'estimate' today...I almost figured I might as well give the bike away, but then had another think and figured I couldn't know the history of any other bike in this price bracket, so I've told them to go for it. I am going to own this bike forever!

Hey were you posting here so I wouldn't see it - well didn't work did it. I have a copy of twisting throttle Oz if someone wants a good quick funny read. Might do a quick grease of the steering bearings while there wil be another set of hands.
