The stock looking one sure is nice. But when you are sliding off an obstacle, it`s hard to beat the old flat simple one. The sleek looking one tends to throw you off to the side. That one from ty trials would do, but you could always have one made to your specs.
Brakes are contaminated. Question is, brake fluid or ? You could always do the water trick. Heat up the bakes up and down the road and dump a bucket of water on the calipers and rotor.
That`s enough to start the bike easily with the kick starter. And yes a flooded bottom end will make your life miserable. You should be on the right track.
You have adjusted the piston on the M/C too far in. Now it`s not releasing. Back the adjuster off until you have some free play between the lever and the plunger.
My 1974 Ossa Explorer. Yes. Taken Nov. `74. Candy Apple Red by me. And it came this way! Kind of strange, looks like an MAR. It was an explorer frame and Explorer on the title.
Yellow shock or spring? At the same time your 4rt could be sagging pretty good. I was noticing that yesterday with 3 older 4rt`s next to 2 brand new 2016`s.
Sure you had a little blow by. That happened at full throttle with a cold motor. Remember you can do a 250 or a 290. The 250 Rev`s better especially at low elevations.
Just pull the cracked piece on the pipe up a little to line them back up. Put another bolt in to weld it up. By the way are you missing the spacer between that broken tab and the frame?
