Yeah I noticed it yesterday morning, and I don't have time to work on it till sunday, so I will just keep close to the other bandit as a way to gauge fuel remaining

........ so I will just keep close to the other bandit as a way to gauge fuel remaining

Ha, ha. Good luck with that!

[Wasp]

Ha, ha. Good luck with that!

I dunno, he should have ATLEAST another 50kms after I run dry.

I'll have a look at it tommorow for ya Jeff, probably the cable or housing (by the wheel).

EDIT: just realised what Drum meant, good luck matey

I'll be there on the Bandit, and my mate will be riding along on his ZXR 250

See you guys at 10am tomorrow!

(p.s i'm a bit crippled, no speedo / trip meter / odometer, something broke and I can't fix it )

Gidday Jeff
Here's a quick fix perhaps:

Get the bike up on the stand [back wheel off ground]

Undo speedo cable and remove bottom of speedo cover - check inner 'outer' side of speedo are screws missing perhaps? is it loose? etc it may appear okay.

Now remount speedo and connect speedo cable - remember to have somebody help you to put weight down on seat pushing rear wheel down to get front wheel off ground. You need to turn the front wheel slowly in order to ensure you can 'home' the speedo cable now do up thread and snug tight - not too tight.

See how you go - let me know.


Heads Up an Enjoy

I'll try to be there - depends on what time I have to pick hubby up from his function tonight as to what time I actually make it out of bed tomorrow!!

If I don't see you there, enjoy

Hey, I need a ride. I would love to meet you guys. What will the distance be like on this ride. I am on a limited budget but will still be keen.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Hey guys,

Myself and MattRSK will be making an apperance.

Look out for a green bike with Racing numbers on !!

[Jamezo]

This is not a formal organised ride as such, rather a 'meet and greet' coffee and hi at Silverstream.

My plan is to go up Whitemans Valley, then Mangaroa Hill rejoining SH2 just before the Caltex Upper Hutt then head on up Rimutaka and out to Martinborough.

[Note travel up and over the Rimutaka Hill subject to good weather conditions - appears as though it may be windy tomorrow.]

Because this is not a formal organised ride, the route to out to Rimutakas can be varied at each person's discretion.

What I would like to see is progressive departures in no more than 3 riders from Silverstream at a time, staggered say every 4-5minutes taking various routes eg:

1. Whitemans Valley - Mangaroa Hill - SH2 Upper Hutt - Rimutaka - Martinborough.

2. Ferguson Drive - Trentham Whitemans V.- Mangaroa - SH2 Te Marua - Rimutaka - Martinborough.

3. Feguson Drive - SH2 Upper Hutt [town]- Rimutaka - Mb[return perhaps Mangaroa]

4. Silverstream - SH2 'River Road' - Rimutaka - Mb[return Whitemans V.]

By staggering and leaving in no more than 3 at a time with 4 different routes we can mix it up a bit and not get too caught up with each other.

I will be one of the last to leave with my Mentor [10.45 ish]

I will have a copy of this post to hand out Saturday morning.

Heads Up and Enjoy

Ok had a look and the exhaust is geting worse. Looks like I'll be pulling it off and getting it fixed instead.

Have a good ride guys

TOO WINDY FOR RIMUTAKA TODAY BUT REVISED LOOP ROUTE:

SILVERSTREAM MCDONALDS - WHITEMANS VALLEY- MANGAROA VALLEY - TE MARUA - SH2 SOUTH BACK DOWN PAST CALTEX THEN LEFT LEFT AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS - MANGAROA HILL - WHITEMANS VALLEY - SILVERSTREAM MCDONALDS

What I would like to see is progressive departures in no more than 3 riders from Silverstream at a time, staggered say every 4-5minutes taking various routes eg:

AS ALTERNATIVE THIS MAY ALSO BE DONE COMMENCING FROM SILVERSTREAM MCDONALDS GO DIRECTLY TO TE MARUA HEAD BACK THROUGH MANGAROA - WHITEMANS -SILVERSTREAM.

OR GO DIRECT TO TRENTHAM – WHITEMANS VALLEY- MANGAROA VALLEY TE MARUA LOOP BACK SH2 SOUTH BACK DOWN PAST CALTEX THEN LEFT LEFT AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS - MANGAROA HILL - WHITEMANS VALLEY - SILVERSTREAM MCDONALDS

Heads Up and Enjoy
