Changed two tyres and registered the bike. Taken off last of the ADR gear. Fitted the rear chain guide after they knocked off the original for a spare and just gave me the parts.
Ready to ride.

Changed the oil and filters on the wr250. Fixed the heated grips on the wr450. Gave both a wash with my new Karcher, love that thing. Mrs then yelled at me, "get out of the garage". Life goes on... |

Great week in the shed! Stripped the RMZ down to the frame & sent it to the sand blaster, I told him to work long & hard to make the frame lighter! Got it back & it now weighs just 1.25kg To save more weight I stripped the seat off, my mates tell me I should ride standing up anyway! Then I picked up some new tyres off EBAY, yee haaar the guy I bought em off was a fool, I dun got a Dunlop Direza super motard tyre with fresh grooves cut in it for $395, and a sweet Maxxis rear 19" tyre off the same bloke. It was just $300 & has only done 2 fink desert races so it should be real good! I fitted em up, but broke 2 scewdrivers around the rims, I think the tube valves have dirt in em though cause the tyres keep going flat. But I think they will stop leaking after I get riding for a few k's While I had the motor out I did freshen it up, I washed the dirt off, took the thing out of the top of the motor ( white bit with a bit of wire on the bottom) & stuck the hose in for while to give it a good clean. One of me mates told me I should re gap the plug before I fit it, so I wrapped electrical tape all around the exhaust plug & it now fits sweet! Things has been tight with cash lately so I got sum second hand oil from a local workshop, me mate who runs the place says his oil is really good cause his customers only travel around the city so he says I should get 10,000 out of this oil change. I will have it all together this weekend, I will start off gentle just to get used to the power & traction. Then after about an hour of doin donuts at the park I will tackle some tough tracks Marroondah hwy. Cant wait till I hard rubbish day next month, I need a new helmet! |
