Re: R100RS centre stand repair.

Good on you for having a crack at this repair Steve.
Shortening the stand deffo makes it easier to get it up on the stand.
My repair is still as it was when I did it.

Any talk here about airheads is good these days, tyres or even oil lol.
It's been pretty quiet here for a long time.
Ah the good old days on Boxerworks, what a crew we had.

Re: REALITY VERSUS FANTASY: THOUGHTS ON SCRAMBLERS

Hmmm perhaps not bravery, maybe stupid and reckless. It was bloody fun tho.
Road tyres for dry conditions, road tyres in mud with due caution. Mostly works.

Re: Airbox "propellers".

Having an angled end to the tube causes the oil droplets to flow together and be drawn off more quickly... al least, that's always been my assumption. Rob I think that would be part, or all of the reason Rob. Looking at Steve's pic I can't tell if it's right side or left of the airbox. If left side...

Re: Airbox "propellers".

Of more interest is the angle cut end of the tube. That concept only works for airflow across the tube, like the air tubes on the bottom of the carb slides. I don't see the benefit of an angle cut with airflow along the tube? The angle cut might induce turbulence to help mix the crankcase vapours w...

For centreing the tube as Rob says, for best practice least airflow restriction. Of more interest is the angle cut end of the tube.

Re: speedo needle

Two teaspoons can be used to lever the needle off the spindle, which works quite well.
I think I learned that here years ago.

Re: Indicator working on and off. :-)

Ah Ha, bingo! Pulled the switch apart and got in there with electrical contact cleaner and moved the switch a bunch of times and now it's working like a champ! Sure glad I didn't take the route of pulling the switch out, not fun when it's cold and all the wires are stiffer than me. All those times I...
