What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Renewed all 4 CV joints,
Renewed all PS hoses,
Remade PS bottle bracket,
Tried to bend rear ARB to get better action, failed
,
Raised and twisted engine on its mounts cause the y piece tail was touching the chassis,
Cut off 2 locking wheel nuts, (don't ask!),
Found cause of rattles under car, (all damper ally rose joint sleeves had wear),
Various checking and fiddling about.
Cheers Simon, another long but good day!

Had a 560 KTM
What a pig to start kick on the wrong side
That's before they came good.What a pig to start kick on the wrong side
My first Ktm was the leccy start 250 swiftly followed by a new 525 EXC that I had for 6 years. What a bike, used it for about 20K miles of trail riding, 3 stage trials and trial bike rallies. It never, ever broke down or had to be repaired, superb.
It would pull wheelies off the throttle in 3rd gear all day long, sadly missed

Strange same here how is the rattle?That does look the business Neal!
Lucky you don't know how to go round bends so I'll be safe
I did bugger all yesterday, just a drive to visit my old mum in orspital and then nearly wiped out by a numpty in a crap 90s left hooker Mustang who didn't see me FFS, evasive action and burying the throttle saved the day!

How many Shredded Wheat do you have in the morning ? You must be superman with all your projects and a house to look after . Its 11.33 am I have not haad a shower and only had three Pringles for breakfast .. Changed four nappies this morning.
Daz, that made me laugh, thanks for that Edited by SILICONEKID346HP on Saturday 21st December 11:38
You should know us builder types start early, probably comes from opening up the office at my previous job in London at 6.45 am every day for over 20 years!
I believe my rattling was down to the clearance inbetween the mounting bolts and the GAZ ally bushes in the ends of the dampers, might be worth checking.
Mine had 15-20 thou clearance so they machined some new bushes with practically no clearance at all!
Fitted today but not tested due to excessive crappy weather!

From simple road miles I think the Golds may be a bit crashy but it's hard to say with such limited miles.
The Monos would come into their own on track when they really get a work out.
When I had Pro-Techs on track and all damping was lost after a session, I felt them and they were red hot to the touch!
The Monos have never failed.
For the record, my Monos have done over 30K miles.

Bugger Done less than a couple of hundred miles on mine...
Done over 30K on mine so don't worry! Done less than a couple of hundred miles on mine...If it is a matter of the rose joints, it's a half hour job to replace them at most. I've already pressed a couple out.
I'll call GAZ on Monday and get a set put in the post.
All is not lost although I have wasted a lot of time looking for the culprit!
Chilliman said:
Not sure about the mono's now Peter, on the 'rear suspension' thread Daz say's there 'absolute rubbish'.
Ah, the old GAZ rubbish scenario.Daz had his problems and a set of Nitrons sorted him, who knows.
As to the Monos, after tracking with a set of Pro-Techs, the Monos were a revelation, never, ever playing up, going soft or throwing up some sort of fault.
That was with 30+ TDs so if the rose joints have a little play then I'm not surprised.
My only gripe is that when they were serviced that they didn't pick that up. On the flip side, they are still smooth and if is very hard to detect any play.
Maybe I'm just fussy!
