  1. The mains are - 6206-2ZC4, originals are SKF and have to be C4 fit

    and the seals are - 25*35*7 BTSL. Make sure you get the right crank seals! The Beta seals are quite expensive so I used KTM125 SX seals, much cheaper!! They should be part No 0760253570 but do your own homework!

  2. I think it would be really nice if they just fixed the problems it's had for years! After all these years you'd think they could-

    Space the kickstart out so it didn't hit the frame?

    Fit a chain tensioner that doesn't wear a massive groove in the swing arm?

    Redesign the swingarm linkage so you dont have to strip it every month?

    Stop as much water getting in the airbox? I know I'm in the UK, but fairly sure it rains in Italy to.

     

  3. i got a Dunlop GP rear tire to replace the Michelin x-11. One ride so far and I give it the thumbs up. About half the price too.

     

    Can you tell me where you got your Dunlop from please? I've had a look around and they seem to be round about £90. Which is pretty much the same as a Michelin! Am I looking at the wrong tyre or looking in the wrong place?

  4. The bearings I removed from my (owned from new) Evo 250 where 6206-2Z/C4. these are a metal shielded bearing, not a rubber sealed bearing like the part No you quoted! Send them back and get Metal shielded or open, do not use rubber sealed bearings on the crank!

  5. I know it's not quite the same, but when I stripped my '11 evo (owned from new), it came with metal shields in! Recently done a Sherco to, and it had shields as well. Also the shields seal the oil (pre-lubed from manufacturer) into the bearing. Seem to be the modern way!

  6. Very good, even enjoyed the music.

    How many routes were there ? Were there many twinshocks '

    Only one route that day, think it was part of the Normadale series? So, yes, plenty of twinshocks.

    How much memory does it take up and how long does your battery last...

    A battery lasts about 2hrs (I've got 2). Normaly uses about 24Gb for both batteries.

  7. Before you start pushing in or pumping out the calliper pistons remove the master cylinder cap, this will let the pistons move a lot easier! Mine has usually got some water in there as well. You should remove the cap (front and back) whenever your trying to move the pistons more than there normal stroke.

    Most brakes will squeak if you don’t put any brake grease (copper slip usually) between the piston and back of the pad. I don’t use anything on my bike, to try and stop any crap sticking to it, and put up with the squeak.

    Hope this helps.

  8. I think I've tried mine in most places and nearly always end up back to helmet mount, although it is the worst perspective and everything looks flat, it is the only option that "see's what you see", tried it on bike (swingarm fork legs etc) which is great for short clips but the camera is to exposed to do a full trial (maybe ok if your good enough but my s/arm a forks a fairly well battered!!). The chest mount is a better perspectve than the helmet mount but becomes uncomortable very quickly as it need to be on tight.
