Have had a busy period in the shed since I last reported,I finally got the feed pipe from the swimming pool to the pump unblocked and have almost got the pool ready for swimming season.
Oil and filter change on the 525 and removed the clutch and checked for wear and refitted, cleaned and oil the air filter, fitted a LED globe to rear as was getting sick of blowing globes in them river and bog hole crossings, lubed the chain. Fitted radiator guard and case guard to the RM85 and started packing to go camping for the long weekend.
Washed the XR and replaced the broken bar risers on the XR and reset the bars.
Cleaned up a bit but more to do. Will

oh so its a living room now is it.. Don't get a Shed, you'll only fill it with Crap. My shed/Garage can hold 4 small Cars, but for the Last 10 Years it's become a warehouse for Stuff i'll never use, sometimes i wish my Wife could find the time to Clean it out for me!! |

After Peters ride last weekend I had to look at gearing for the "bling green machine" (pete's analogy on my bike) Did some homework and worked out that my front sproket was a tad too big, so off to the dentist to have a tooth removed. I'm pleased to report the old girl responded well to the tooth removal without any pain or drilling! The down side is while removing the tooth might seem like a small amount of weight, it must have unbalanced the KLX because now the front wheel wont stay planted to the ground. I will be eating at McDonald every day for a month to gain a few kilograms to help fight the lighter front end. LOL

[/quote]Workshop tip to fix this, find power wire to the coil and add a resistor to cut down the amount of power going to the coil which will cut down the horsepower problem which will help with gravity of the front wheel problem fixed. |

It is a secret tip. Decoded it means
Find power wire to the coil and remove a resistor to add up the amount of power going to the coil which will stick up the horsepower problem which will help with beating the gravity of the front wheel. Problem fixed.

After moving into our house in Sydney 6 months ago, I am finally pouring the slab for my new shed on Saturday. Followed the building in the following 2 weeks.
My Berg will finaly have her own house. Looking forward to many happy hours polishing TLC in the years ahead.
Dont you wish your shed only took 6 months!

I'm more concerned about what Knackers intends to be polishing in the shed. |

This week in the shed has been dedicated to prepping the big KTM for HTFU-2 ride.
Last weekend I had a battery and lighting system melt down, so with a warranty replacement battery fitted I checked the charge rate which all appeared to be good with a fluctuation of between 13.5 and 14.6 volts , but as it had also caused my HID headlight control box to melt down I decided to remove my big stator system and refit my trail tech and I refitted the standard lighting system. The last thing I will need next ride is to have battery troubles and have to kick start it like half of last weeks ride.
After having a ride on Fankies BM last week and being very impressed with his brakes, so I decided to try the same compound of pads in the Kato and see if I can get them close to how good his feels.
I also fitted a new front sprocket as the old one was starting to wear teeth, I then cleaned the air filter and re oiled it, and I washed the air filter housing out.
I then replaced the brake fluid with a high temp racing option and carried out a clutch fluid replacement. I then checked the spokes tension and the sprocket bolts and spanner checked the rest of the bike for loose nuts and bolts, few found none.
Checked the tyre pressures and lubed the bikes chain and pivots, e.g stand, pegs, leavers etc.
Almost forgot, it was rear wheel bearing time again so I replaced teh rear bearings and seals.
Last but not least fueled her up and gave her a little spit and polish and she is good to go.
Time to tidy the shed as next week I have some work to do on the old XR600. Will
