TE/TC 17 TE 150

Hope you get well soon Wally hope you do not lose out on to much riding this summer.

Thanx Walt!

You gonna be sore for while but you should be able to go get some riding in afterwards.

Did my clutch and throttle cable in yellow:

Brake lines should be here today that are blue.....

As soon as Walt is off meds, we're flying in for an intervention session..... You're out of control!

Make sure you bring your bikes! Would have a blast !!!

Ha!

Be nice to meet you guys some day!

Think they look sweeeeeet!

Here from eye view.

Actually, I did this cause I can get other colors to try and use them on my vintage bike cables.

Come you masters of bling
You that build the cool bikes
You that use the cool parts
You build the bike it's a bomb
You hide in your workshop
You hide at your workbench
I just want you to know
I can see past your wrench

Apologies to Bob Dylan

Darin you runnin your speedo /odo still? Talk about bling bling!

Ha ha, if you think Bob Dylan before you read it your brain will read it in his voice.

No, I took all that off before left showroom.

Thanx Norm!

If I didn't like this bike sooooo much. I sure wouldn't have invest the time or money into it.

But gotta say! They nailed this bike......

Couple flaws but that is in every bike.

Been screwing around with bleeding my back brake. For life couldn't figure out if I had air in darn thing or not.

Completely cleaned everything and inside of master, caliper etc.... My adjuster was way off from movement of pedal.

Ha! I had the adjuster bolt in backwards. The head of bolt goes towards frame instead of threads.

Wish would of figure that out hours ago........

Can't say I had a screw loose but the screw was screwing with me!

I DNF'd an enduro in one mile, on my 12 Husaberg TE250 when it was weeks old..... The rear brake locked up solid on it, in the grass track off the start control. I had to pry back the pads with the screwdriver in my butt pack, to get the bike to move. I rode back to my van and hoped to get them figured out. I decided to open the bleeder and fluid shot 10 feet! Then I couldn't get them to come back. I was frustrated and in tears, trying to bleed them and I couldn't get them to work. First reset was back at the start and every one warned me not to go out without a rear brake, as it was muddy and lots of downhills. I loaded up and headed home, feeling sick. I stopped to have a friend who is a great mechanic look at it and he was stumped. I finally figured out it was caused by there being no lock nut on the pedal adjuster bolt. It adjusted the pedal down too far. My friend and I were used to Italian Husky cam style pedal adjusters and it just wasn't on our radar. The brakes couldn't get bled, because the limited movement of the piston, wouldn't let the fluid by in the MC. I added the nut, adjusted the bolt correctly and bled it.... all fixed!

Norm,

That's kind of a good lesson. Bad for you but if I run into the same. It gives us an idea what to look for.

Nothing worse than having no back brake.

I think Mr Bean should help out and lend a VForce????? Sounds like he is down for while!

Teasin Walt! Hope to get mine next week.

Want to get this fired up!

Yeah, too bad we are like spread out in US. Be fun to go riding.

Prob could learn some things as well from u.

Tried the rktek head today and without jetting changes it magically cleared up the off idle burbles and no loading up in tight woods!! Running 480main 43/74 needle and 27.5 pilot and its pretty nice except for a lean spot just under half throttle. No difference in top end (at least that i can tell) but nice grunt down low and mid great buy for $150

That was a great video and a great race, congrats on the trophy. Obviously your skill got you there but what is your tire choice for those gnarly conditions?

That lean spot could be in the powervalve adjustment or could be the hit in that step needle.

See difference in my needles?

The one on left is stock. What happens is it hits that spot and bam!

One on right is just fast get r done with no hit.

Is that a needle you bought or is it one you machined to your specs? Are those two slides the same?

The slide on left is 4 one on right is 6

That needle there is one I made for my preference.

It is really rich and going to try to mate it with a 5.5 or 5.75 slide yet.

On my bike the 6 runs too hot.

I still have some piddling to do this spring and testing to get the max out of bike.
