@oldman lovely that. Sounds crisp

I can't see it being a cost thing.

My DTR's swingarm bearings were fine. And besides the point, it's not a big job to pull the swingarm bolt and regrease.

@Calum
Happy Christmas Calum and thanks for keeping this platform going. No update today, haven't done anything bar assemble parts, but hopefully get garage time over Christmas.
Let's hope 2021 will be a better year.

@oldman any updates on the TDR 250? Looking forward to seeing it.

@oldman said in Klx250:

Finally found a KLX 250 for a good price, also came with super moto wheels. Fitted new tyres, c&s, rebuilt brakes, full service, few mods so far, valve clearance checked, manual cam chain tensioner to fit and counter shaft (sprocket) oil seal to change then it's done (almost)
Still riding the red dt and the dtmx, though they will be put away for winter.

Stunning bikes. I am by no means a Kawasaki guy but credit where it’s due they where years ahead of Yamaha and the industry with the KLX’s.
I’ve seen a couple 95-99 models come up sale recently and they’ve green with envy (pun intended). Once again no Kawasaki guy but the mid 90’s models just look too cool and extremely modern. Oddly enough they seem to come up fairly cheap compared to the likes of XR’s and WR’s too, which seems strange considering it offers more then a lot of its adversaries?
Maybe garish green isn’t for everyone...

Let me know your thoughts on it and how you get on with it it’s been on my list of bikes to potentially buy when I do my A2 licence.
Only thing that puts me off is it only being a 250 and roughly 30hp and feel I’d want more to play with

@declan said in Fork bushes:

@Nottsbiker id like a kdx 200 or 220 i think they're a perfect balance between comfort and peformance

Yes thats why I bought my DT200WR 😉

Had one years ago regretted selling it ever since so had to get another one.

@oldman said in Caution:

He definitely had ability deficit syndrome. Really wanted to ask him about abs and traction control, guess that's not going to save you from stupidity.

LOLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - Ability deficit syndrome, now that's a new one for-sure!!! 👍

Bit late sorry, hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a good day!

@Calum I’ve been hovering around, admiring the good work here

Does look sweet.

You've been keeping quiet though! How's it been going?

He's had a go around the garden and was going faster and faster and faster, called a halt while I fit throttle restrictor and take him to my mates garden where there's more opportunity to tear up someone else's lawn. He was well chuffed, got to start them early!

Checked stroke of oil pump and found set at 0.22mm, OK for 3db1 model (0.20 to 0.25mm ), removed shim and Max stroke 0.17mm now, manual says 3rn1 onwards model 0.15 to 0.20. Bike late 89. Didn't seem smoky at all anyway, think running in below 6k for 400 miles left it a bit oily

@oldman lovely!

The way the numbers drop is killing me lol it’s like he was falling to sleep while doing it 😂😂

@NINJA Maybe, but actually you'll find a lot of other countries are miles better than we are. And a lot of countries are of course miles worse.

I had a couple of bikes stolen in the past with what i thought was secure in a locked garage. Where i live now have to keep my DT in the back garden, not only thousands spent on it is all the hours spent making it how i want it. So have 3 x 16mm hardened chains through 3 different ground anchors and best paddlocks could get. Thatcham approved disc lock as well as a Datatool Alarm with infra red cctv. And just to make sure it's fitted with an Automatrics MTrack 24 hour monitored tracker which is the best tracker out there.
So feel quite safe for my little DT, spent lots on security but only need to buy once and will do for years and for many bikes. only cost now is £129 a year for the tracker monitoring. So feel safe from thieving scumbags as i can be, even if anyone enters garden my cctv alerts me so be amazed if precious DT ever was stolen.

@oldman That is phresh!

Need to get out on it more, been busy with base for new shed/workshop0_1530395837901_IMG_0958-2592x1728.JPG

Which TZR? I'd imagine if its a 2rk then the static angle will be different.
