Awfully clean Dale.

Went for a ride on sunday. roughly 30km through some narly single trails, and a "good" hill that was very quickly labelled Tourettes Hill

What are you riding? 

 

I didn't even know you had a dirt bike. Imma be down your way on mine this coming weekend. You ever ride Collie? I has some epic "unfit old man" trails around them parts

[turboedsloth]

Picked up a KTM 300exc a few months back. Needs fine tuning but goes pretty good. We have pony express next weekend so unsure if i will go out this weekend.

Oh jeebuz, one of them.....

I have personally seen 3 of them die mid ride now. Last one was my boss, he cooked the engine 50km from anywhere, and the only good thing about it, was pulling him out of there on the back of the bike he had relentlessly pulled the piss out of for 6 solid months. Keep a close eye on your service times,  but I have heard that slow trail riding has killed more 300exc's than thrashing the guts out of them. Its the heat build up in the clutch apparently

I did notice that on the weekend. It got a tad warm and was getting hard to start. all the other boys have 350's so i am thinking of going to one also (mmm electric start).

Or just get a mans bike 500cc [emoji1305] I used to have a Husaberg fe550e then got the fe501 which was basically a KTM 6 days, yeah my bro was envious with his exc500

and yet you chose a 300cc 2 stroke... O_O

the last 300exc I rode was WAY more savage than mine. Was a lot more fun on the back wheel too. 

Main difference I could pick, was how much more comfy a big bike is at road speed. Watching the boss in the mirrors at 80kph was a show that should have come with a dinner

The 550 was my first bike since school [emoji23][emoji23][emoji1303]

So my fuel pump fuse was blown. I swapped it out, started it again and it blew immediately. What does this mean?

[Ben C34]

Your pump is rooted or there is a short circuit

[Manne]
