Thought you might 've bought it since you showed it so dirty, but you & J are known to get bikes dirty on test rides

Good one I hope you & J have fun cruising around on Sun

Cheers

Have fun in the

But don't forget to post us some pics off your new toy. I'm sure we can find a bog hole for you to play in off road. FQ can show you how to best clean it afterwards- he has a great technique

I'll get some pics next week and put them up. Might have to go for a blast in the strawberry fields/subdivision over the way from "home" next week.

Want to checking if it has the solid of torque limiting starter gear before I get to serious. Hoping to do this next week so I'm ready for the weekend after if others are keen for a ride? I'll get pics of this too for those who are interested.

Cheers

Nah, it's not that great I got a wet arse and ending up leaving a big wet mark at the cafe in Oxford. It's supposed to be the womans job to sit in the wetspot

Went up again just now, the roads heaps dryer, the boggy bit is still a little sticky but now dry enough to stay on top of the ridge between the ruts where i had been stuck.

Nice job on the number plate ... I want one ... please.

Hows the tune up working out ???

**Transalper** · 21st September 2006, 20:42

Tune up needs a little more tweaking. They had an unexpected glitch but we will have it sorted when i go back in the morning with a bit of luck. The aim was for more down low go off the idle. We are half way there.

Geez, I lived in Hoon Hay/Spreydon for 20 years and never knew that was there!
Might make an interesting alternative route when I pop over to Governer's bay to visit the bro in January. Is that an exposed power or Telecom cable to the right in the second photo?

... it was a cockys farm water supply feed line ... suspect it would be a sprinkler now if they put water through it

**Transalper** · 22nd September 2006, 08:17

i've always wondered about that pipe/cable thing. I usually try and avoid it but don't always succeed, but if it's only an old water supply line i'll never give it another thought.

For my benefit how did you decide that it needed a tune? Was it just that you wanted more bottom end grunt or was there an "obvious" issue that I didnt pick up on? Keen to learn.

Well i heard it detonating while you were riding it infront of me several times and was in at DAS ordering a bashplate for it when Phil (who has a DR250 also...not a Djebel) said something about jetting. So when it pinged on me on my first run up Worseys i went back and decided to try what he suggested.
I wanted to avoid the so called 96 octane too.
So i now have a bigger (and unfortunately for the rider noisyer) hole in the top of the airbox where the snorkel has been removed and different jetting.
It does have better pickup down low now but seems to bog down if i give it a huge handful from idle before coming to life. Reason given is it's still restricted at the muffler and to fix that with aftermarket pipe would make it noisyer again, this time for rider and audiance.It does appear to have fixed the detonation problem without needing higher octaine.
We'll just have to see how it goes as i become more familer with the beast.

**Transalper** · 22nd September 2006, 14:03

Actually just been reading a bit about detonation and am not sure that jetting would be a fix. I'm all for higher octaine as a fix but just dislike the way it's done to our 96.
So good or bad i don't know, but it does have a bit more down low now and in a couple of hours (now van is fixed i need food first) i'll go back to Worseys Rd hill and see what happens.
They changed sparkplug too.
