Ok will have to get a different gauge then cause my one go's up to 10bar and I don't think I will be able to read what I need on there. I went back and checked what the guy wrote, I miss read he said your gauge should read up to a 1bar. My bad. :-[ Thanks for the info guys! I:I

Ok I attached a photo of my leak down tester. I will try test the motor this coming weekend. What is a good pressure to test the motor at? I read on the forum that you should test to 15psi(1bar)? Can I test up to say 3bar or is that to high? Can I cause damage with a leak down test at 3bar?

Thanks read that the other day :D

Thanks, they make a big difference :)

I was WOT for about 15s then I ran out of road do you think that is to short? My first thought when I took a look at the plug was that it is WAY lean. Dont think the temp difference would have made it become that lean if you compare the two photos. I am not going to do anything till I can...

Did the plug test yesterday, attached a photo of the results. The first photo is the plug test from 3 months back in the dead of summer with temps of about 35degC and the second photo is yesterdays test with temp at about 20degC. There have been no change to the jets, airbox or motor. The smoke...

Wow that sucks about the a-arms :( Good to see the swinger made it I:I

Hey Piezzi I know what you are saying I also noticed the smell!

Hey Blaner I have not advanced the timing, the guy that built my motor advised against it because of the skimmed head. Will check the jetting first thing tomorrow. Dont want to destroy my motor just yet. Will check the links now thanks!

I did not re-jet. Did not think that that sort of temp difference would effect it so much. When I lasted did a plug chop it was 35deg plus. What about the water on the fins? Thanks for the input!

I was out riding my blaster today in a part of the world that is extremely sandy and a lot of it is almost like sand dunes. I was riding the quad hard and it had to work hard in the sand. It was a cool day at about 20°C. I have ridden the same track in the dead of summer about 3 months back...

Thanks guys glad you like the photos. My friend Eric took them and he has the ability to make things look better then they are :) Blaner I think I will have to make up some washers or maybe see if standard ones will work. It strange that no one has mentioned this or maybe I missed it...

Got to test the new suspension for the first time on Saturday and it was sick! Still need to tweak it to get it just right. Have not fiddled with it yet just wanted to ride. Will try setting it up next weekend. I just want to ask, the TRX shock the lower part that connects to the swinger, does...

Thanks Guys! Will post more photos when its in.

Hey got my trx400 shock on Wednesday and my mechanist friend finished the spacer bushes today! Tomorrow night I will pop the shock in and on Saturday will be testing it! :)
