    2017 RDU Location???

    That's why I avoid Dubbo. The caravan park is a couple of blocks off the main street and has a large park frontage where locals are known to gather ... I'm trying to be politically correct here ..... there is a problem after dark. I often stay in a Motel there for work and often observe the...

    2017 RDU Location???

    Time to get it rolling. I suggested Nyngan as its off the coast, within reach of SA, VIC, Qld (with a stretch) and NSW. Good caravan park with cabins, BYO grog - the consensus was not to have to buy $6 Schooners. Its also far enough out of town to dissuade the locals. I have stayed there with a...

    How can you remember that far back Ken? Welcome bullseye from another old fart at the top of the world (just a matter of perspective). Hey Ken .... passing your way Friday week, overnight at Hexham on my way to Port for a couple of sherbets.

    Chit ya normally don't see, Diff disected.

    So do we need someone who can cast a new housing or a bloody good toolmaker? Seriously, I had a mated who worked with CX500 bevels to us in a JZR car (Guzzi powered). He had some pretty fancy machining done by a toolmaker in Melbourne .... I don't know who though. Unfortunately, said JZR put him...

    Bl**dy fantastic effort. Hats off and drinks all round. I regularly ride with a couple of women who would put big biker types to shame ... in fact the last time a friend of mine went down to the GP at Phillip Island she decided to do just outside Sydney down, through the mountains without...

    DARK SIDE WANA BE

    Well 1K9 .... How did it go? Right Tyre, Right tune, derestricted exhaust .... you should be getting up the road with a sense of smug satisfaction and confidence. Not to mention having joined a group of people who don't believe the earth is flat and know that getting under the kitchen table...

    Move the fuel filter?

    Yep, stepper was 7.3, which should be spot on. Ran the "Blastedbones" tune back in, adapted and it seemed a bit better but still fell back to a lumpy (uncomfortable) idle. I had to come back to work today but no-one is here so I might take another couple of days off to play with the Rocket.

    Move the fuel filter?

    Thanks Hans. Les PM'd me yesterday and I think I have it sorted. Just a real pain as I was having the idle problems up at SW Rocks and everything steadily went downhill from there. TPS=6.1, I reckon that that's close enough, everything else checks out so I thought I would change plugs and FF. As...

    Move the fuel filter?

    Thanks, this is what I was after .... I didn't think about pressure regulation. The whole thing happened because living in rural NSW I have to rely on mail order for everything and I'm just looking for alternatives. Looked on eBay and there is no Aussie listing for the Mahle filter .... plenty...

    Move the fuel filter?

    Its only the third time..... but that's enough. It just seems so unnecessary to disturb all that stuff. I have picked up some dodgy fuel somewhere ... a lot of idle and low speed running probs .... the filter that I just took off has quite a bit of resistance.

    Move the fuel filter?

    :banghead::banghead: Is there any reason to keep the fuel filter in the tank? Up to all that again ..... plugs and fuel filter and I'm sick of pulling all that stuff out of the tank. Does anyone know of any reason that I just can't put a bit of fuel hose in the tank to bypass where the filter is...
