Sorry, OKO

I've got 2 TLR 250's & i first bought an oko which for me was a waste of time & $, it doesn't fit the standard manifold or airbox, i rang the importer down here & he said you have to run a Sock type airfilter in the open, he did tell me i should be able to make up some sort of cover for it ? ! This is not what i wanted to do as i would be riding through Creeks etc, I bought a 22mm Sheng Wey for $60 Aus so probably a lot less for you ? They fit perfectly, look the same & the Honda jets fit as well, they are a direct copy of the Keihin, it went that well i bought another 1 for my other TLR 250, the jets don't have #'s on them & i've played around with the pilot, main & needle just because i can i know a few blokes over here have bought Keihin rebuild kit on ebay & said the work very well, the other thing is, sometimes the float may have a pi prick hole in it ?

Just have another XXXX That's how they spell beer in most parts of the World, but Queenslander's are different than most people

Looks like i didn't make you stats, i'm an over 65 Male & i'm downunder

I remember when i first rode my KTM i stalled it going down a hill into a corner, i thought what a bummer, but then i remembered i had an electric start, didn't have to even put my feet down, So it would be good if you stalled in a section, you could just restart with you feet still on the pegs

Down here we can not have 500 people in 1 place, i'm pretty sure most Trials clubs would love to have 500 people @ an event At the moment i can do most things except leave the Country .

That's what happened over here for the last couple of weeks, yesterday a lot of people started to take TP, Rise, Painkillers etc back for a refund The supermarket Woolworths said tuff tittys, NO refunds

You blokes are kidding, your in the same Country/ Island, i remember driving over 3000klm for a weekend mX race

I see GasGas has a 4 rider team in the MXGP series

I would think that maybe the seal has gone hard after sitting for a long time between rides, so the shaft maybe OK ?

I'm with misscrabstick here, i've had the suspension on my KTM & Sherco enduro bikes revalved to what i wanted & they are great, infact i get some other riders saying wow you bike tracks soo smoothly ! So couldn't you get somebody to revalve it ?

I bought a front & rear Golden Tyre & find them pretty good, i see they still have them on the Aussie web site.

My understanding is you don't want numbers that divide to an even number like 12/48 =4, you would be better off with 12/49 =4.083. If the number is even the same place in the chain will contact with the same place on the sprocket every few revolutions, if it is odd the chain will not hit the same place on the sprocket, so less wear ?

Yes like that here in South Gippsland, we got a bit of rain last night & it looks like we are expecting more, but not as much as they predicted

I think you could throw old Men with arthritis in there fingers, wrists etc into that list

I've read that there have been some problems with airoh mx style helmets having non stainless steal rivets or D clamps that seem to rust with in a year from sweat/washing etc. I'm looking for a new helmet soon & that will be the first thing i check, i have a tld & m2r helmet & these parts are stainless & look like new .

I'm pretty sure down here we can go from 1 side of the Country to the other side 3000klm for about Aus$ 250-$300

I saw a vid of a bloke trying to get funding for a modern type frame bike with a motor like this in it, from what i could see it looked pretty good ?

Who's selling them down here cub ? I'm in Vic.

Have to say going to GasGas could be a bit of a gamble, will KTM keep them going or just let them die a slow death ? !

It maybe good for Trials , but it won't be good for the GasGas name ? Remember what happened to Husaberg

Don't know what it's like up there, but GasGas seems to sell a fair few Enduro bikes down here & have reasonable dealer network

They seem to be going well selling Enduro & Trials bikes in Aus.

G'day Gary, i just ordered some rings,head & base gasket of Colin Leese & TYOFFROAD, i have 2 TLR 250's 1 i'm just about to put back together & then i'll pull the other 1 apart. I've had a couple of piston coated with the blue colour HFC coating which builds up the piston a bit to give a tighter fit, i'm pretty lucky the Vic HFC coatings is in Gippsland not far from me, i have had them posted when i lived further away. I know somebody sells after market pistons, i was told not to go for the oversize 1's as they could be a hand grenade ? I did find someone in Dandenong Vic who would make a 1 off Piston, pin & rings for about $700 Aus.

Don't forget there could be some gas in there.
