And if you need a bit more time, this one will keep things going! Friggin awesome rendition if you ask me! Never seen one like it! Jeez, the tone he gets out of the accoustic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8_6aa-TTvI&feature=related

Ham, see if you can get laid with this good o'le Texas picker! You gotts put on the frkn girly vids, then istablich the mood musik, feed them first, not too much though! Lay off the pasta as they fart too much. Good Texas picker here, thanks Les!

I'm glad Dabster is going out of the zones!

That place can hurt your scores, as it takes a while to get used to it. Just nuts! Traction supreme!(on the rocks) Real roller coaster ride!

Yes

Seems to me the Contour has an advantage in fitment as a helmet cam. Have seen the go-pros and just can't get my head round that in a trials environment.

Agreed. This carby cleaning thing is not always just a easy peasy thing. One spec of silica sand, transparent even wheen looking through the jet, can block things, so you really might think about removing the pilot jet and fuel screw, flushing backwards through the small passages in the throttle bore with carby cleaner followed by air, then find a fine wire that will pass through the pilot jet and do the same. I use a strand off a small wire brush. Clean your banjo screen as well. After done, you should be able to eat off the thing, totally clean.

If the level is low in the rad, then likely need the water pump seals, and your weep hole is blocked in the front of the case. Have you been riding deep water?

Oh, I see! Do you have a syringe, or anything else that you might use to fix this and use for other forms of self induced mutilation?

I did not hear any unusual noises there. Oil has water or coolant in it, do you have plenty fluid in the radiator? Compression could be a bit low on this bike, as it seems to kick over fairly easily, yet hard to judge. Can you smell fuel on the plug after kicking over? There should be something coming in there, plug may get a bit wet. Still need to ck the wodruff key based upon you initial post, as you state you do have spark, yet possibly at the incorrect time for things to work. Make a flywheel holder or get a strap wrench if you do not have air tools, or find a mate that does.

How much did you save over the UK supplier? Honest mistakes happen, and I would think you can return the goods at no cost, yet at the same time I doube that the will give you the store to make you happy. Either work out a fair deal or send it back. Fair is fair.

Classic that one is!

I just do not understand this Isuppose. Why would you want to bleed the brakes while replacing pads? And on a '10 model?

Sweet!

Might bring water, Jono, at it was about 90f here today!!!!!

Should with a proper light hone job properly done. Fitment is critical and the piston sizes are normally +- .005mm different i think.

Rich, Not to change your subject, but can you tell which ignition is on your bike? Is it Leonelli, Ducati?,Other? In something of an answer to your question, are there witness marks on your stator, or the old one? Seems for the most part a mm or so makes little to no difference, err to the slow side. Cheers

Better used as Beer cans if you ask me!

He'll likely need that while traverisng the outback at 100 kmh!

Not sure how you are going to know anyway without installing thermocouple and guage!

Obvoiusly you are still adjusting a bit, which is fine. I think at some point you will need to strip and clean the carby to see what is there in the way of jets. A 30 pilot as supplied can be quite soft, butgoing to a 33-35 range can possibly make things too sharp for the unwary! Gotta keep finger on clutch for smoothness and a snap response if needed. Takes practice. Rocky streams require a lot of it!

Seems the other bikes were on a Mich! Not sure what type sections you're running, but I think in a rockey burn section the Mich r Dunlop may prevail for grip on the rocks, even if the mudboys like the IRC.

Lots of thoughts here. A lot is a trade off depending on ability and the terrain you are riding. Add the fact the 2.9 is not the most gentile learners bike. Seems somewhat likely the bike came with a #30 pilot jet which makes things soft off the bottom, maybe not bad in your case, yet does nothing for kickback and stalling. Basic recco here is to slow the ignition timing a bit by anout 3mm counter on the stator plate. I do not normally recco gearing changes, but better clutch usage, at the most 2 teeth up on the rear as compared, this has only half the effect of going to a 9 on front. Use a slow(black) throttle tube. Get some medium Renthal grips and bar ends that fit. Carefully trim out the end of the throttle side grip with a Dremel tool and sanding drum thing till you get your bar end to fit perfect, with proper clearance and no drag. Light oil on the bars. I looked at an old light swich, should come off but you gotta twist it to get it to unlatch the front section once screw out.

I was not aware there was a problem with the standard circulation. The thermodynamics of the system is limited by the radiator anyway, as it can only dissipate soo much heat. Even less when mud packed. And pushing fluid through in a higher rate can actually defeat cooling ability after a point due to the time/transfer element.

Are there really people there that cannot speak english? This reminds me of my local Taco shop!
