Only an 85 kit? You gone on a diet and eating less pies then? (hmm, guess I better watch out if I ever meet you lol)

Dont worry , you are right on the money

I think Husaberg might like this cos its got the mighty XR500 about 650 cc cant push start it goes great when it goes. Same frame as my bucket

Husaberg does indeed like it
I toe started my berg with my V6 Hilux one day 4 gear 100m still skidding Maybe I should have used the decomp?
Mine left foot kick too for added fun. Still way easier to start than the CR500 is.
My old one was impossible to start hot, wait teen minutes and it was just possible. From cold was easy.
The best thing about the husaberg is the induction noise it sounds like it is going to inhale your privates.

Great collection though.

what a waste of an RZ500 seat cowling bodged onto a 1KT tail end. But then with a dirty diesel in it.

[Yow Ling]

It came that way , my concience is clear.
RZ500 is actually a bit overrated

[F5 Dave]

yeah, you can lose a smeg load of weight off them. They were restricted by adding stuff. The lower pipes alone are about twice the weight of RZ350 ones.

Why Was it put down?
Or was it pipped at the post by another fitter younger thread?
Was the mare though i me posting another er post enough to kill it off.
Because seems a shame cause Yow has a nice collection of steeds in the YLR stable.
Answer with a Hay or neigh.

It was put down because herrings.

It was put down because herrings.

Thought it sounded fishy

This restarting thread lurk is a bit like flogging a dead horse, really.

I wager that it's not worth the effort, but sometimes you take a punt.

Oh, the old YLR Thread, she ain't what she used to be,

Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be.

The old ,YLR Thread, she ain't what she used to be,

Many long years ago.

The old YLR Thread, she kicked on the whiffletree,

Kicked on the whiffletree, kicked on the whiffletree

The old ,YLR Thread she kicked on the whiffletree

The old YLR Thread, She's been Consigned to oblivion.
Consigned to oblivion, Consigned to oblivion.

Shame she had some much she could share.................

I will have to stop signing now, as I am a little horse

YLR thread has come back, the ESE thread has gone viral, #6 thread is just that the #6 thread. So here we are again

This weekend is a bit of an engineering one, my goal is to bore some crankwebs to take a 22mm pin instead of the old 19mm one. Sounds easy so far.

the first step was to tram the milling machine, this is so the hole I bore is exactly straight that took me about 45 minutes and I havnt even done any thing usefull yet.

Now that the mill is square I clamp down a crank web on some parallels and using a dial gauge centre the hole with the spindle, another 20min.

This all has to be done right or I will end up with a crank I wont be able to align, will vibrate , steal power and shit itself when it shouldnt.

Ok so now I start boring the hole, not going perfectly though as there is a bit of chatter, the cutter Im using is a bit long and skinny , the crank is pretty tough and maybe a thousand other factors are causing problems, the cuts are pretty light around 0.2mm, I try a different cutter much sturdier one, things improve but still not happy, I think Il visit the tool shop on monday and see what they have thats better
any suggestions?


centering the pin bore


stumpy cutter



the new bore 20.80mm so far

[crazy man]

slow the machine down if you have chatter

[Yow Ling]

slow the machine down if you have chatter

thanks crazy

[husaberg]

I guess it is a Suzuki GP crank but why are you going to 22mm? Is there no 20mm ones that would suit?

Also please some more Honda's on the thread?


You meet the nicest people on a Honda.
One of the other threads was ok but they kept cramming it full of Yamaha's (will my Yamaha be linished for Tihape)
