2 Strokes Down Under

Gaskets arrived finally - on bloody call for the weekend, so might need to give it a miss til next week

Gaskets on the way.

Have just discovered Partzilla, BTW. Holy moly!

Cheers GMan - in terms of end float, should there be much measurable/perceptible at the stator end?

The beemer, as they all do, just works

Four to one with it though - 2 SR500's, an XT500C as well.

A good mate has just bought a '79 RD250 Daytona. Chemtrails coming our way, I reckon.

Oh - everything works on the bike, apart from a blown globe in the indicator, and no toot from the horn (missing!)

Any tips on setting the lube system?? Thought I'd do my preliminary tests with premix, and a couple of squirts of oil down the inlet tract.

I kinda like the bars. I have a couple of other bikes with lower bars (An SR500 with vinnie flats, and the R65LS)

The BMW in the background came as part of the package...or the other way around Missing the seat hinges, ...

Cheers - I probably better get a manual.

Gents, I'm new to the forum, and to the world of two strokes. Four strokes? Yep...a couple of SR500's, and a 76 XT500C in TT500E clothing. And a Matchless...and a BMW R65LS...and couple of little Hondas for the kids. But I've been two stroke curious for ages, and when the deal on this R5 came my way...
