For your info, spoke to KTM guys who state that KTM mufflers fulfil spark arrestor requirements as standard, no mods needed.

Standard ones should, but Joe's pipes are Staintune aftermarket ones.

[offrd]

KTM ones yes, perhaps not with wings or other aftermarket pipes......
Stick a rod up them to see if the exhaust has to take a 90deg turn before exit i am told.....

[clint640]

The GPS Routes and tracklogs were sent out last night to all entrants who had asked for them on their entry form sent in to John.

I've had feedback already that they have also been successfully loaded onto an IPhone running the GPS app MotionX.

[cooneyr]

Have a good one guys. I expect to see plenty of pics and ride reports.

Cheers R

Well there is tears here i tell ya!
I just changed the tyres to the knobs to head down tomorrow, noticed the front disc had some funny rub marks when i stripped the front wheel off....

Thought will have a look when a reassemble it. Wont be much!

Well.. I am missing the RH wheel spacer! it was not there when i stripped it and it aint ever going to be there cause even KTM dont have one in new zealand! Its ex austria!

I have spent much to get to this point, i am about to walk into the shed ans push the fucking thing over with no bloody wheels on it!

[clint640]

Surely a bit of pipe, a few washers & an hour or 2 on the file would produce something that works? Neither diameter is too critical on a wheel spacer as long as the faces are paralell & the right spacing so it nips up evenly & it doesn't interfere with the seal or outer race on the bearing. Even leaving the outer seal off to make something fit would not be a big problem.

Hey what am I doing wrong, I have Garmin Mapsource about 4 years old, I tried to load the file and it only wants to accept gdb files and not gpx?

Hey CLint!

I found the missing spacer was already stuck in the seal!
But the disc was still acting like a lathe with the calliper!

The front of these are a tad different to what i am used to, and the way to set them up is too!
Obviously the last guy had no idea either on the setup of the front cause he had it wrong - not as bad as i had it - also!

I have mucked around with it for a bit and now have good calliper to dics clearance and its all sitting and working well.....

Thank GOD!!!!

Thanks Eddieb for the 111 parts offer too! Top bloke!

But yes i was prepared to cut up the wheel barrow, woman's GHD hair straighteners or anything else i had to!!!!!

Just the last thing you need the day before heading away!
Teach me for leaving the tyre change to the last day!!!!!1

That's very strange Merv, it should be working even with earlier Mapsource I would have thought as .gpx file is a much more universally friendly format which has been in use a lot longer than that.

Maybe if you think it's the Mapsource version then down load version 6.13.7 That's my favorite version and it is working fine with the file.

[Balrog]

I've loaded the data onto a Garmin 60CSx
Waypoints and routes ok, tracks were truncated.

So to many points on track for my model of gps.
If you don't look at the GPS when loading you would miss the error.

I'm fine with that, going to use the waypoints anyway.
Good Job Eddie, that must have been a lot of work.

Jim
P.S Merv I can send you my converted .gdb file if you'd like.

[Transalper]

Mapsource and others can filter those tracks to 500 points max each and then they will be good to go in most units.
You planning on using the challenge routes Balrog?

[merv]

OK I'll try downloading new Mapsource. When I tried to open the file my Mapsource didn't give me gpx as an option nor would it in "import" mode. It only wants gdb on open for some reason. I tried renaming the file to gdb but it didn't like that either.

If that doesn't work tonight I might get the file from you Jim.
