Roostius.. A worn/rounded pivot does make sense. It would only move the push rod a little bit.Giving these simptions. From what i remember it was a little rounded.. The big problem is,I just cant get it out! THe last time i had the flywheel out I tried to replace the pivot seal and was unable to pul...

While on the subject...I cant get the clutch to fully disengauge if i have even the smallest bit of free play and it will only engauge right at the end. I'v replaced the fibre's and metals (admittedly with cheapo ones) :( and replaced the clutch hub. Any ideas?? Could the pressure plate cause this b...

Had to add some washers Bob style, as the stand arm sat over the arc of the tyre.Smile'n again

Just bolted up a PMB,straight fit smiles all round here.
Looks great,works even better,no more looking for something to lean the bike against.
I can now let it idle on the side stand,used to vibrate off the work stand.
Best aftermarket stand i'v ever seen.

Don't expect to be writing pages of correspondance with Larry..

Thanks,The shots were taken at Rydal ,Not that far from Clarence. We ('85 is my mates) had just taken the bikes off the trailer and put them on the stand and the pyramid of power. ;) They looked so good with the back ground morning mist/fog + there had been a big storm the night before that blew dow...

I am helping a mate replace the fork seals in his '85 honey bunny. I have never worked on convential forks before. When reading the repair book it says i will "need to make/use a special tool to hold the cartaridge,otherwise i will damage the cartaridge". Q. Will i be able to hold the cart...

First water cooler to last.

Who said its easier to start?.. Decomp means it's only easier to Kick! :lol: Maybe its cos the mixture is going out the decomp valve and not back into the crackcase via the rings? One thing i did notice is it's harder to find TDC wiith the valve in. BIt like an xr400. Better to find TDC first then p...

On the bike.

I got the VHT Alloy silver from 'Recpo'
and your right.
It does look very good.
I'm just wondering if i need to clear coat it now?

Anyone know what the name/code of the silver color the later engines were painted in? I need to repaint my (sandblasted) head after getting a decomp valve fitted.
cheers

Mate of mine bought a pair for his wr250 and says it took him a whole day to make them fit,nothing lined up.
Thay are stronger than OEM for sure but thats not hard.

Mate,I'd be starting to suspect it's not a NEW cylinder.

Update..I decided to fit a boyesen rad valve before I spent too much time on the jetting only to end up rejetting for the rad valve. I put in a CGJ/1368 on 2nd clip with 45pj. 1.5 turns. Savage mid to top !! It spun out my mate who has a well jetted '85 honey and is used to a Hard hitting engine! An...

Hetic Bike MaaaaTe!

The plastic frame guards are not fitted on the first pic either.
There not the greatest looking but they cover a bigger frame area than
the metal guards, I still like the look of the alloy guards though.

I don't see any rub marks at all.
Looks good.

Thanks mate
No, It had been painted by a previous owner before i got it.

Here's a few pics , In my opinion the GTR is the equivalent of a 4wheel version of a CR500. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/a5cfaa8a6f594c9e4196777181e76c8b.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/b75d9c575249b3b8c6e6f79c04c2e325.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/772bb777...

Makes me sick how cheap you can pick up a good bike in the states for.
The local bike shop here has a nice orignal/well worn'86 and they want au$4,990.

My '01 clutch basket had a fair amount of up/down play i replaced the bush and it took most of the play out.

So thats why I keep falling off...

Guess what? I just put in a DGJ on sunday,but havent started it yet.I think your right about the DGN it was too lean in my 10 year old PJ carby.The 1368 ran ok-to-rich in the pj.Could be the fuel here in Aus? The pilot seems ok I even started it left footed on a very steep single track,one kick.Real...
