I wasnt trying to kill myself, it's just gravel rash, and Blake was behind me on his TTR50 and came up and asked if I was dead, I said no, and then he said, THAT WAS COOL DAD! :)

Should have said yes only to lol at his puzzled look

Nah he had a huge stack and when I got to him I asked him if he was ok and he said, "No I am dead!" :) just a lot of dust and bruises for him, and a lesson learnt about throttle control, but that was aaages ago when i first bought him the TTR, he is able to do small jumps and powerslides and the like now. I just have to get used to this whole "powerband" thing :ermm: The CR has bucked me off several times now, my god it is fun but!

OK so a bit of history on the bike, it is a 2002 CR125R setup for motox racing. It never got to the track. It has a list of "upgrades" to it, I chucked the list in with all the rest of the paperwork. But apparently it has bigger jets, bigger carby, bigger this and that, so it is fairly powerful.

So I had been jumping this small jump all day. Had it down pat. Round the corner in 1st, full throttle, powerband, ramp, enjoy air, get off throttle, land.

Only issue I had was I was in 2nd, and by the time I wondered why the powerband wasnt coming on where it was last time, I was on the ramp, and powerband kicked in as I left it. The front of the bike reared up and I mustve hung on to the throttle, meaned it was at 100% when the back tyre decided to touch the ground. I close my eyes, scream like a girl and let go of the bike and wait for the pain :)

Well I cant atm, it is still out on the farm where I broke it, it should be back tomorrow so will take some pics of it before I fix it and post them here. Apparently the renthal handlebar i snapped was a pretty tough one, so at least I did a good job :)

Still I went for a long ride round the property with a mate of mine on his 600 and only time i couldnt keep up with him was when he could get it into 5th as i dont have the ability to go very fast, it is geared for low speeds, but other then that I accelerated faster, stopped quicker, and could throw the CR around a lot easier than the 600. We swapped bikes for a while and the 600 just felt huge and horrible to ride, glad I picked up the CR for $1,000 :ermm:

Pics of this new ride :D

For those whom missed it, I bougth a 2002 CR125R and took it out bush for a ride last weekend and you know me, I stacked it :)

Broke the handlebars and the brake lever.

So the previous owner gave me a crapload of spares when I bought it, including a heap of spare brake and clutch levers and a set of stocker handlebars.

Righto, so after pulling everything off the CR's handlebars it seems the stock bar is too small for the clamps, as you'll see in the picture.

So just going to pop down to the local bike shops and see how much one is.

The Yamaha TTR50 is Blakes bike. Kayla's bike is coming soon, as well as one planned for Nell :yes:

Enjoy the pics!

Farks sake. Had my brother house sit for a week while I was in Melb.

Mother farker used up all my download quota, 20gig, so I am stuck on dial up speed till the 18th, and what's worse, the selfish farker didn't even leave any porn on my computer to compensate me for it.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
