    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    I am hoping to attend - i swapped the CV carbs off my shitter GSX750 and put them on the GS1000 and now it runs sweet as with lovely coloured plugs and good power.
    But - my wife has to go to Melbourne for 2 weeks for work about this time which means i'd have to stay home (to feed the animals mainly). Anyways will wait till her dates are confirmed B4 i confirm.

    Are you doing the classic club ride on saturday Rach?

    My RZ will be ready for it, It will much nicer to ride after replacing fork seals, steering head bearings, and unsiezing the front calipers.

    It tried to unseize its own calipers by leaking all the fork oil over them on sunday lol. When i got to the hill climb oil was running off the brake rotors !

    No and No. There is a bit of pulsing though. The gaps between the carrier and disc open and close as the wheel is turned. It has been suggested that the carriers might be damaged. I am waiting for a set coming from Canada and will swap them out. A complete clutch sans basket also coming, so should be able to sort out enough plates to stop it slipping.

    Hi Croc. Hows things?
    Are the gaps even when you turn the wheel and keep light drag on the brakes? I am thinking that the pads have worn into the disc and they are pulling or pushing the disc off centre on the rivets as the wheel turns. Is the unswept strip on the edge have a consistant width right round. Does that make sense?
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
