Well its from the 80s So that's better than the xr brigade It's on the limit though

A drz400 isn't really in the spirit of the ride As long as you can maintain 75kph+ on the open sections you'll be fine. Through the tough stuff even the slowest bike is faster than the 4wds

It's often the dithering at stops that keeps everyone held up Slower bikes arnt the problem. If you have a slower bike please be first off the line. Have your helmet and gloves on and be ready to go first. Not leave each stop 3 or 4 mins after everyone else Edit : this isnt a dig at you @Whoopeecock it's just an overall reason why we hurried a few riders up

Yeah it's a pretty lush pub Will have to return

Small turn out Mint feed though

Went to nats Had a few dramas alternator shit the bed on the way up ended up in repcos carpark for a while trying to mend the old one. But it was beyond economic repair Found one that was close enough on the shelf and with some questionable wiring and spacing it was made to fit Saturday we left the pack and went af far north as the south island allowed It's been pretty rumbly in the back for a while now and @RUNAMUCK proclaimed with absolute certainty that it was a left rear wheel bearing . And that he could smell gear oil with his all smelling nose . And for a second time he was correct about the faintest of oil leaks that hadn't even presented itself outside of the brake drum yet And the wheel bearing was pretty toasted too. So todays job was replacing them Quick trip to butler auto for some hg holden bearings and then slipped them on with a press all nipped up this arvo and nice and quite

Is he the guy that crashed gavin Bains scott? Maybe he should stick to the pavement

Meet at the peg belfast carpark 11 for an 1130 departure Throuh amberly then turn off at waiapara to waikari . Turn off to go waikari valley rd through scargill then to gretavalley Aiming to be at Greta valley pub around 1230/1245

I've had issues with my down pipe cracking too. Have welded flat bar down it to hopefully hold it together. I also see over 700 degrees pretty regularly. I also cant get a flexi until it's near the chassis due to space constraints witch will be half my problem as there is a lot of weight hanging off it

Doesnt look out of the ordinary Have done a few 1kz heads now they all have fucked injectors which leads to the heads dieing Its probably just burning a little oil and the injector seal is probably shit by this point so some oil accumulates in that area . Wang some remanufactured injectors and some new glow plugs from toyota . And with a new head itll be fine. Have you got a kiwi head for it? Ive been running a complete kiwi head for almost 30k on my kzj78 apparently the cams and followers arnt as good as OG toyota but I havnt had an issue yet Depending how many kms your valves may be worn so just swapping all your valve gear into a new head might not work. Disclaimer im not a mechanic

Cant be less suitable than a honda spacy....

@holdenman @governorsam @h4nd /who ever else has bikes I was gonna take the fj1200 if the weather's nice The weka pass waikari valley rd is a good one on a fast bike

Put a bp3es in it

@h4nd What plug is in it?

Who wants to go for a drive on sunday 26th? Leave town around 1030/11ish depending on destination Will head north either to cheviot or greatvelley pub via waikari. Any preference from whoever might attend?

Didnt take many pics

What's changed from when it worked?

Keen on alloy wheels..

What time you want to leave? Well be leaving my place about 415pm

Itll stop leaking soon

By buying extra beers

Hard to tell if it's just the under seal being a bit shit or actually rotten. But there looks to be issues with the front of the sil behind the gaurd.

@h4nd if you keep having plug fouling issues put a hotter plug in it Its obvious to cold

A paper gasket... Was good enough for the factory.
