I put a Steahly fly wheel weight on my bike came with all the bits in the kit ie bolts,spacer for cover. Paid 199 and took 10mins to chuck it on.

Same 4 me. The one from tjebbe on my 01 CR250 was just a few minutes. But Cheese has got the later honda and there is bugger all room between his fly wheel and the case I think.
From the pics on the web the Stealy ones for his 04 bolt to the outside but there is a fairly wide spacer you put between the crankcase and the cover. and have to modify the cover aswell.
So it may be the best of 2 evils. Honda was probably trying to keep the cases small and light so didn't leave room for after market add ons. It is supposed to be a race bike. We want the power but don't wanna maintain a 4 stroke so its a compromise.

I ended up taking the flywheel weight off as there is too much flywheel and not enough space. I'll get Tjebbe to machine it down a bit for me.

Bah

Anyway riding tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooooooo hooooooo

**jimmy 2006** · 11th May 2007, 09:14

I will be keen for a ride tomorrow to.... where bouts are you thinking Cheese?

**cheese** · 11th May 2007, 09:16

Thunderpark?

**jimmy 2006** · 11th May 2007, 10:03

sounds good, what time?
the only thing to consider might be the weather forecast. i think it is meant to rain tomorrow. thundercross in the rain might not be the best place.

**cheese** · 11th May 2007, 10:32

Oh is it shit in the rain?

Any other suggestions?

**jimmy 2006** · 11th May 2007, 12:13

thunderx i hear is more clay based. when it rains it can get very slippery so i have heard anyway. have not been there yet. we went all the way last time to find that it was shut. maybe woodhill if it rains alot over night? either that or just go for it in what might be a mud fest at thunder x???

just checked the weather forecast, they are saying showers tomorrow morning. i think we give thunder x a go if it is not pissing down......

**cheese** · 11th May 2007, 12:17

MUD FEST!!!! Yeah!!

**jimmy 2006** · 11th May 2007, 12:26

agree! what time do you think you can get there by? the earlier the better for me. say 9.30??? i think going through Mercer is the quickist way.

**Reckless** · 11th May 2007, 13:49

It can get muddy there. Mainly slippery on top. It was good last weekend. Didn't do the A track as I had my boys. But the B was ok. If the weather is bad give them a call B4 you start to pack.
Thunder Cross Valley 09/233-3117 Fiona or James Fowlie.

As you approach the big Mobil at Mercer on the statehwy 1, go off to your left and take the New fly-over, over the motorway. I think there is a roundabout next, go straight through, then Pretty much follow the road for quite a while when you get to a T intersection, turn left. You wil go past Glen Murray and a golf club. Just keep heading for the big Mast on top of the hill with 3 or 4 big transmission dishes on it. You go directly past this and the entrance has a sign in about 1/2 a k/m. Drive down and stop at the house pay your money. Then go on down to the parking area. Find a spot under a big tree if its sunny.

When riding go to the far end of the carpark and turn right across the stream. Not left as thats the way out. The A track is a fork after you start the B about 1min or so in. So don't look for it from the carpark.

Would have liked to show you guys the way but not sure of my plans.

Oh I forgot. Don't forget she will give you a ticket and sign one of the slots. After 5 the 6th ride is free, bloody good loyalty system.
It is getting a bit choped up in places. No ruts but a few spots where the bikes have dug quite deep corogations try to get grip. It can't be to long b4 he gets the digger out. Its still second to Kimis though and first for entry cost.

Off to get my suspenders from Danger now CYA

Yeah, Me and some mates should be going to Thunderpark tomorrow morning. If it doesnt Piss down it will be fine. A little rain will do it good... We went there last year when it was totaly soggy and spent most the time on our hands and knees picking up the bikes.. We were covered head to toe in mud!

But it was still awesome fun.

Ahh well, Keep an eye out for a KX450 with a RMZ450 and a few other bikes.
