Sutton rd which is Fairburn track is a bitch cos you have to be a member.

I rode the brindies for about 15 years without any legal trouble.

Larbert rd near braidwood is good if you like sand. $10 or $15 to ride last time i was there.

Captains flat has a track, theres one near Yass, and Kowen forest is pretty big(rego only, cops)

But the best is the Brindabellas.

Uriarra rd has few good spots to park, like Blue range hut or Blundells flat(my fav)

Or on the Cotter rd theres Peirces creek or Murrays corner

The forest goes from the cotter to tumut, its big and has lots of awesome mountains.

Get a map and the only limit is your fuel range.

Have fun, stay safe. Dont ride alone in the bush.

Ps i sold my bike if you want my maps n stuff give us a pm

The shitbox bike can be the best fun you ever had.

I had as much or more fun in 2 years of shitboxing as i did in 12 years of supreme KTM.

Get one for sure!

Gloves and kneepads too, ha ha i remember the first time...but its so much fun you cant stop.

:banana:

I still have nice armour and gloves, a work stand, those cool stick-on goggles with heaps of lenses, boots, tie downs, etc....

If you need it i dont use them anymore, good stuff ill sell real cheap.

Ps new age 4strokes are VERY expensive to maintain. get a two banger or a normal 4stroke.

Was about to say the same thing re- 4 strokes,

The WR's are pretty good but anything more than a couple of years old = rebuild time

But in saying that most of the 4 stricken enduro's are pretty good

The mx'ers are rubbish, the current crf250 has a 10hr rebuild time on the top end and 25hr for piston and rings

My brother has a 2010 yz250 2 stoke, he rides the shit out of it and has replaced the spark plug and a brake lever or 2

My dad scored one of the super rare 09 yz250wr road legal mx'er and has had no problems either

But if you do want cheap my brother is selling an 88 klr250 for 200 bucks, but needs some work

The only reason why I'm not interested in a new 2-stroke is that they're not registrable (someone confirm this).

I wouldn't ride an ancient POS hahaha. Had a '93 or thereabouts KDX250 few years back that I would ride around the back of Conder/Banks, that was about the limit of 'shitness' I would deal with.

Wouldn't mind my cousin's KTM 525EXC I rode some years ago, that thing was f**king insane!

Plenty of new 2 strokes than can be registered

Just no Japanese bikes, so you will need to look to the land of euro

KTM, TM, Husaberg, GASGAS etc all do 2 stroke enduros, and if you want spastic power most of them do a 300 2stroke too lol

Yeah euro 2 strokes are really good.

I had a KTM 360 for ages, that thing could pull your arms off up to 120kph,

more grunt than i could use with my light weight (70kg) and rear tyres were used up in about 400ks

The big two strokes sound awesome with a pipe. Top handling and ergonomics too.

Yeah I love oilers!

Found a place to go, binacrombie which is an hour north of g-town, will take the gf's parents kombi which has a tow bar and make a weekend of it including trout fishing etc

Their single track looks the goods but simple enough that the DR will handle it but will chuck the knobbies on before I go

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
