I just tried... found everything but! Hi shercogeezer, any chance of a link to that Thumpertalk post? Best of balance. Neo

Thanks for the information Mcman, I will ask down at the bearing shop but they look like they are hard to get hold of over here. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this. Both bikes are on their original hoses (which look good on the outside) but the bottom rad and top Cylinder Head fitting have been on and off a few times in the past. The coolant on both bikes came out dead clean but would a water flush-out (in both flow directions) be a good idea? .... just tap water pressure. Best of balance. Neo

He must have been doing (or running something) seriously wrong to have done that.

Send the muffler to me and I'll turn it into flame thrower for 15 mins... It'll be dead clean and half the weight after that....And I'll have 15min of fun too Ok Cope you can hand out all the safety warnings now Best of balance. Neo

Easy!!! Send the missus is instead of yourself

Oh and please tell me what website that was on Best of balance. Neo

Nice review and not so bad for a bike in it's first year ...BTW ... when did you take delivery of your Ossa? Thanks for the offer .... might just take you up on that one too Best of balance. Neo

Well I never released that water pump failure was contagious .... Took my 250 for a quick spin yesterday...would you believe it drip, drip drip!!! This time the shaft is truly knackered (scored). Found a large rubbery bit in the chamber this time too... must have come from inside the hoses I think? I'm now down 4 seals, 1 shaft and two motorbikes down!! I can't buy any seals to get one bike working this long weekend, because of the Easter break. Would still be good to find that information on sleeving a shaft (with brass?) ....anyone?? Best of balance. Neo

I was trying to see if Sherco had modified the engine case in any way. But it seems they've have just made a better job of running those stator wires. Best of balance. Neo

Could you say more? Best of balance. Neo

Hi Cope. Your'e always on the ball my friend It was late last nigh when I pulled the shaft out... took one look then dropped it all to one side in despair But the shaft polished up nicely this morning and has no scores even when I looked close up with a jewellers eye glass (x30). The seals still have the pink grease inside but there were black particles around the shaft hole, on the closed sides (facing towards each other), of both seals. I've also noticed that the black plastic impeller seems to have wear on the high points of the blades. As if it's been rubbing against the pump cover a bit. And maybe it's these plastic particles that's passed through the outer seal and damaged it slightly. As the leak was very slow. Don't know why the impeller would have been rubbing though. I checked all the shims and washers but they were all in the right places. Anyway I'm going to put it all back together with new seals. But I was wondering if Vitron seals would be a bit more robust?

Hi Gents, I've got hassle with our 125 again .... Replace the impeller shaft (along with new bearing and seals) a few short months back but now she's weeping again. The shaft looks highly polished in the seal positions (early stages of scoring) so I have a couple of questions...... The bearing seem tight but any thoughts on what I might be missing that's made this go so soon? I read in a past thread that someone had sleeved a shaft (with brass?) and had success with that .... but I can't find that thread now?? Any ideas on how I could improve this water pump seal area? ... Better seals maybe? Best of balance. Neo

All those applications come as standard but maybe the hardest part is getting to know all the daft names they use for these applications. And the choice of applications (in built and add-ons) that do similar things is almost endless. OpenOffice will "SaveAs" files in MS formats too. Give it go Cope ... But take your time learning it. That way you'll avoid the frustration. Best of balance. Neo

Yes they can be a bit of a pain. Anything else we can think of Gents? Best of balance. Neo

Love it!! .... I'm on to it Best of balance. Neo

Got what I needed. Thanks Portman. Best of balance. Neo

The Dellorto is more consistent than the OKO. So if you get it to all work for you with the Dellorto that'll be a good thing Best of balance. Neo

Hi Cope, It's best to appreciate that this is different operating system that's supplied for free.... It is not MS Windows and does not want to be, but when you get to know it it is has many advantages over MS Windows. Hardware Drivers are very well supported but some will not be there. If you were happy with what your MS Windows PC gave you 3 years back (in terms of general features) then after you have been through the learning curve (which can be steep) you'll be pleasantly surprised with what you get from Ubuntu. But if applications like Office 2010 are your thing then stay with MS Windows for now. Best of balance. Neo

Thanks for that Cope but it's a bit too close in. I'm looking at the whole engine in the frame. Best of balance. Neo

Hi Gents, I'm looking for a left "side on" photo (of the engine) on a 2011 bike. Can't find a good quality one (that I can zoom into) anywhere on the web. Anyone know where I can go for one? Best of balance. Neo

I can't see the connection between Ossa and Slax ... so you have lost me there Best of balance. Neo

I'm 100% behind that too. In fact I believe that the other manufactures haven't had enough competition and development has been slow as a result. I think that Ossa are doing us all a BIG favour....so "Go Ossa!!" Best of balance. Neo

This thread has had 2,535 Views ..... WHY????

But on the OKO you'll be working with air, not fuel on that same screw Best of balance. Neo

No actually Cope you can go onto the Ubuntu website and they will post you a bootable CD for free!!! And yes there are dual-boot wipe/format and over-install options. Best of Ubuntu Neo
