    Removing Lights Etc

    steam posted a topic in Beta

    Any tips on removing lights , horn and wiring from a 2008 Rev3 250. I will use the original kill switch if possible. I have heard rumours that the cooling fan wiring can be affected if it is not done corrctly.

    i have read the topic above for checking and resetting the float level. does this mean that all rev 3 with a keihn carb need to be checked and altered or is it a mod worth doing. if so, why. mine is a 2008 250

    Front Brake

    steam posted a topic in Gas Gas

    I was unable to get a decent front brake on my 1997 JTR GG until I rode for 5 mins with the brake applied then quenched the disc and caliper with water. Brake now ok. Why did this work and is it a permanent fix?

    Brakes

    steam posted a topic in Gas Gas

    After aplying copaslipping to the back of the brake pads (front and rear) on riding the bike their efficiency was reduced by about 50%. No grease was on the pads or discs. The front brake would not even lock the wheel when the bike was pushed. I then tried the trick of riding the bike with the brake applied for 5 mins then sprayed cold water onthe disc and pads. The brake is now good. WHY does this work and WILL the brake remain good.

    Is there any advantage/disadvantage in using semi or fully synthetic oil in the fuel premix and does it do any harm changing from one to the other?

    I have to replace the woodruff key between the flywheel and crank on my 2004 280 pro as it has sheared. Does anyone know the correct tightening torque of the securing nut? The engine has a flywheel weight fitted. Also, I have been advised to lap the flywheel and crankshaft together with course grinding paste and a little WD 40. Any thoughts on this?
