Shed night

[ZK-Awesome]

Talked to Morleys, they pulled the side off the engine, its farked. Apparently the big end bearing has collapsed. And just as warm weather was rolling around!

So now I have to put in a transplant engine if it's economical, or scrap the bike. Has anyone been through this before? I'm determined not to follow the path of a certain DR250 owner...

Any idea how much I'd get for the bike if I were to sell it as is...?

Bugger!!!


The following errors occurred with your submission:

1. The penis you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your penis to at least 10 inches.

And the story continues...apparently the stator was fine (had to be sent to Auckland to work that out). We're now left at "magnets loose on the flywheel"?! I'm taking my complete bottom end into them to have a play.

And a dodgy trigger switch (something to do with the stator), which I don't really understand either...

Shane's KDX stator plays up but only when hot...
Makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

Creak, groan, fooff! Just blowing the cobwebs off this thread.

Next shed night & bbq: calendar event here

Where: Warewolf's shed (PM for address)
When: Friday 16^th July, BBQ 5:00pm onwards

cooneyr will be up from Chch. I will be prepping the 640 for the XC on Sunday.

The bbq will be fired up at 5 o'clock, feel free to bring dinner along.

Job list:

• Fit stronger fork springs, included as part of fork oil change
• swap EXC front end on to the 640
• Fit knobbly tyre to the 950S
• Check/set sag
• ... anything else??

We will be doing a short ride on Saturday which may take some time - fiddling with suspension setup. Probably find a 5-10minute loop in Sharlands that has a bit of everything, to test the suspension. Ride, change, ride, change, repeat.

[cooneyr]

We could have races to see who can pump the 950S rear tyre (140/80-18 or 120/100-18) up to 30psi with a MTB pump the fastest. Good for the arms

Oh dear, of course us mature boys never picked that up...no bottom end fiddling this time but I wouldn't mind having a go at sorting the front brake on the XLR, if I can get the spline arounda little further I'll get some adjustment back. At the moment it's very lowtech ABS like...

Effective brakes are over rated Will.

Yeah, but I don't need any more excuses for falling off...brake lever is touching the bars as is.

Ullrich will only sell me a 1200x600 sheet of 3mm Aluminium $56+GST, anyone else have any uses for it? I only need 400 x 200 for my bashplate...I'll happily go halvesies if someone else wants the rest?

[NordieBoy]

I'd be up for half for the DR400F but I think I may be needing 6mm to keep the headers under the engine in 4 pieces.

Do you want to try my 50k sign?
2.5mm with plastic on top.
Zip tie it on and it'll stop any flying rocks.
Cut it with a jigsaw.
Bash it back into shape with a rubber mallet.
