2 Strokes Down Under

yeah the bearings are all the way in, I checked the Haines and I think I'm missing the right side flange spacer, anyone know where I can get one of these?

Hey guys, i've been overseas the last month so been a while since i've posted, i've just installed the bearings in my wheels and i've found that the spacer inside the back wheel is loose inside the hub, i'm guessing it shouldn't be that way? the front wheel is fine, the spacer doesn't move around at...

thanks guys, there was no lip at all to catch the drift on, couldn't make them move at all.

I don't trust myself welding either so I dropped the frame to Lloyd Penn in Artarmon, the guys there got them out for me for $50.

Just wondering has anyone else had issues trying to get the bottom and top bearings races out of the head stem? there's no lip to sit the drift on to knock them out, anyone got any ideas?

Yeah i'll grab them off you as well as the collar Jon if you can find them,

yeah i figured i'll have to buy a 350 pump, i just checked my swing arm and it already has brass bushes, the originals were nylon weren't they? shouldn't need to change them then.

one other thing, I'm running 350 barrels on a 250 case, is it worth upgrading the oil pump or should I just run premix?

I've already pulled the clocks apart, just going to cop it on the chin.

i'll have to bang those bushes out does anyone know anywhere I can get some new bushes in Australia?

Hi guys, things are coming along slowly with the bike, I finally got the frame and rims back from the powder coaters. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii544/Yahn_Pavlovic/Mobile%20Uploads/58BE20AD-817E-4D48-AF4B-7EF736169282_zpsqyxqe4gl.jpg http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii544/Yahn_Pavlovic/...

Has anyone had to pull their clocks apart to change the trip knob? my trip knob has snapped off and I want to change it but not sure how to pull them apart without breaking them, anyone?

So I made a bit of a start on the engine tonight, pulled off the barrels and clutch cover. To me they don't look too bad, definitely no expert though. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii544/Yahn_Pavlovic/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps652553df.jpg http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii544/Yahn_Pavlovi...

you guys are right about those seats, just had a bit of a look on ebay and found 1 for around $400, not cheap, probably cost $150 to get it shipped too.

thanks Hybrid i'll definitely take a set too, i'll throw them in my ultrasonic cleaner and they should come up quite nice.

i'll probably be able to pick them up this weekend if you're around?

I did find some really well priced pipes on the Webike site from Japan, the brand is K2Tec, anyone had any experience with these?

Also, I see a lot of LC's with the black seat cover with the little signature on the side, does anyone know where I can get one of these seat covers?

I'm actually in Lane Cove too, I've never seen an RZ around here though.

I emailed Kenny about his pipes and he came back with a cost of around $1200 delivered, don't know if I can justify spending that much on a set of pipes after what Hybrid said.
