PEB, did you buy your tugger or did you custom make it? I have an 07, and have been looking for one, or thinking about making one. Thanks

Was a good race, was a fine day, but the rain over the last couple of weeks made it slippery and muddy. This made it technically difficult but it was still good fun. I came 40th in the offical results but I made a mistake when coming through the start finish area at the end of lap one and didn't...

Heres a link to a Google map page that will hopefully have directions from the start of the Southern Motorway. I'm not sure I have the end of the path in the correct place but its somewhere on the road assuming its where they run all there riverhead rides. I will be sign posted well before...

I'll probably be doing this race, am planning to go out there this weekend on my MTB and have a look just to check the conditions, its a clay base so will be slippery with the rain we have had over the last few days. If its fine and windy all next week will probably make it easier, but not much.

Cheers will have to give them a go when my current grips wear out.

I think I have the opposite problem. I have short fat fingers and I am trying to find some thiner grips. Does anyone know what the thinest you can get are. Cheers

Not Carbon deposits it is sand. The line is routed down the back of the frame tube that is just below (this is how it came) it has a zip tie holding it but its loose. I have thought about squashing it down to stop the oil dribbling out on the back of my pick-up after a ride. Thanks for the info

Haven't stalled in a water crossing but I have done some very wet rides. So I guess that's a possibility. I guess washing the bike could cause this, although I don't use very high pressure water I guess it could be enough to force a little water/dirt up the tube. I'm going to try and think of a...

Hi put new rings in my bike tonight. It was the 1st time I have had any of the left hand Power valve cover off and when I was undoing the bolt that holds the barrel, under the cover I noticed it was coated in sand!! The only way I can see it has got in is through the drain tube, I thought of...

I'm not sure the taco wiring is the same as previous models as I have a ec250 2007 and there is no yellow wire in the airbox. I am planing on having a play though to see if I can get it going on mine at some stage.

roughly 6 months not the bike was used in the ISDE last year in New Zealand and they were in it when I bought it. I can't really justify the expense of putting new mousses in so will probably be reverting back to tubes at some stage soon. My rear tyre is getting fairly worn so will do that one...

Yeah that's what the NZ ohlins importer thought as well. I tried to get a new one through the dealer I got the bike from and was told that they couldn't get that part, I got hold of the NZ ohlins importer and had the part in my hands in 2 days!! As an aside I worked out that the heim joint from...

Just a quick follow up about the top shock mount. It really was just a bit of rubber see photos. My bike has about 60hrs on it and the bush/mount was worn out. Replaced with a heim joint as is used on most ohlins.

Does anyone here use the Michilen mousse inserts (or any other brands). I have had them in my bike since I got it and I think although its great not getting flat tyres they seem to have quite high inertia making the bike harder to turn/lean then you would expect. I think the increase in weight...

I have been using my a spare air filter from my old gas gas on my 07, the filter fits over the cage, just need to be careful about how it sits on the cage lip. I do prefer the new filter on the cage because the 3 prongs hold it better, but the old one hasn't moved or let anything in. I have used...
