Yeehaaa! Port Waikato

Oh that's not fair, you know I would never bail unless I had a good reason! It's just I did promise Tawny I'd take her riding and since there is no-one to look after her on the kids track while I am out riding it would be damn irresponsible for me to leave her alone while I go out and enjoy myself

lol, ok sorry mate
i was only giving the short version, so ill correct myself

oldskool can not come because someone else bailed on him and they were in part going to look after the kiddies, and because hes such a good father he doesnt break promises and has to take his little girl for a ride, probably the sandpit

better?? lol

We run about 11-14psi usually! Nice bike mate! What do you think of the Scorpion extra for winter?? You must like them if you've had 5 or more! Went in to buy one and walked out with a Mt32 instead thats on the 03 Ktm, not to bad a tyre actually. The s12 that was on the 08 Ktm when I bought it is knackered now so might go for the Extra.

Btw they wouldn't give you a new tyre free, if they thought it was all your fault re wrong tyre pressure! It was probably faulty and they where using that as a bit of a bullshit excuse! Lots of people put heavy duty tubes in and run that sorta pressure I think!

BTW 2: Saw Karl Power change a tyre at one of the GNCC events and he had a big spongy rubber thingy in it! $500 each I think he said but no air required and no punctures ever!

yea they are called moose tubes i think, id say birchy and all the other extreme enduro guys use them. i think they replicate 13 psi, drill holes in them and they get softer. the scorpion extra is a good all rounder i reckon, i had a s12 once, it only lasted 4 rides and it was puckaroo.

Besides I know this might sound stupid to all you bike mechanic pro's but I just can't seem to slip the collar deep enough into the oil seal so I can fit the front sprocket on properly...the sprocket doesn't go in enough to allow the circlip to bed into the groove?

have you tryed turning the sprocket around, i don't mean around, I mean around, haha

Sunset farm is an awesome place to ride. I have done a couple of two man cross country races there in the dim dark past. One time on a RMX250 and another on a 94 KLX250. The clay can get a little slippy when wet but be committed and you'll get up the hills easily Show no fear!! I might even try to make this ride as it's just down the road.

you mean round and round like a record? or spin me around like a gogo?

[oldguy]

Now I,m haha sometimes if you flip the sprocket round the clip will just drop into place, I have been known to talk shit thou.

No, you talk shit? I would have never imagined.
No the sprocket is identical both sides and is identical in thickness to the original sprocket I replaced last month. So I would hazard a guess that the collar needs to somehow slip inside the seal more but I can't get it under the lip (inside edge of seal) without the fear of damaging it.
