Little bro came around last night and had a look at the stuffed pistons and caliper.
An hour later they were back together and in the bike all shiny and new(ish) looking
The pads were wearing on an angle due to only 1 piston moving.
$145 for a piston/seals kit from Oz. But in the meantime this should last at least through the Lamb Valley Laidback

Good news. I've put on a set of my favourite bars, new soft grips, 606 on the front, indicator on rear, battery at city mcs to fit, will get a knob off froggy for rear & good to go.

Shane watched the video and said "Bars and hand guards".
After he stopped laughing...

Why is it, that every time I change a tyre, it's like the first bloody time all over again
An ultra heavy duty tube in the rear, 2 rim locks and it was like doing a mousse.
About 2,500km and 50hrs of riding at 14-18psi.
They've done well.

I feel your pain brother - literally. I skilfully head butted a long tyre lever doing the front. I'm a bit like Mr Potato head.Why is it, that every time I change a tyre, it's like the first bloody time all over again

Funny how when you are feeling good & have a go at timing yourself, everything goes to custard. Not only has the maintenance time lapsed but the whole bivoac has been packed up shifted 500kms
No hand guards yet but a new battery!!!Yahoo. The odo reads only 4500K so there should be some life left in the lil snot beast. Tell Shane I'm gonna kick his furry lil butt ( but don't tell him til Sunday nite)

It's the moustache that does it.

Do you know what model screen you have? & is the handlebar mounting just a universal kit?

Just a handlebar mount Givi for a round headlight.
That's all I know.

Need to go for a shakedown ride today before lunch to test my tyreability just in case I was crap. Again.

Shakedown ride is done.
Went out to SuperCheap for some DOT4 and Brake Clean.
Via the Maungatapu Summit of course
I ran higher pressures (16f/18r) just to see how they'd go.
The front pattern seems to give good grip braking downhill and 1 finger is the same braking effect as 3 fingers before the rebuild.
The rear needs new brake shoes as well, but the tyre performed well enough on the seal and trail.
Not a lot of rock deflection even with the higher pressures.
For the trail ride I'll take a pump with me and go to 16f/14r and see how compliant they get.

my shake down test will be laterthis avo. Maunga summit & backtoo

Picked up the new kickstart shaft today.
Right...
Let's get this thing apart...
Bit of a length difference.
Put it together...
Bolted it in...
Didn't start it up as I'd like to see if the gasket holds up overnight first.
Finding new ways to fall off
More patience than me - I would have kicked it in the guts as soon as it was back together! - and then seen if I needed the 3 or 4 bits that were left over

Shane's TT350 went on the dyno today...
Started out with 18hp at the rear wheel
Ended with 22 or so.
They tried with and without airbox snorkles, airbox vents, different pipes, mains, pilots, needle heights...
Best torque down low was with an open pipe and best power up top was with the restrictive pipe
Normally it's the other way 'round.
Airbox was best with just the snorkles pulled and a solid side cover.
Every little change made huge differences to the a/f ratio.
Took them most of the afternoon to work out what did what and where.
I left them trying one last smaller main jet in the main carb to lift that rich bog past 7000 rpm.
Max torque about 6000 and max power about 7000. Redline somewhere past 9000.
Shane has banned Lester from running my bike on the dyno 'cause he doesn't want it to make more power than his
At the beach races, his TT350 that has had the head done almost professionally got dicked by my XR250 that had the head done by a computer geek with a dremel
