    I guess I was luckier, the power spike your friend's bike experienced must have been over the top to go through the fuses and all other protection features on the bike...

    Does anyone have a photo of where the carb drain screw is? I want to empty them since I run the bike without fuel filter and I know I have some rust in my tank...

    It's easy: upload your image to a public server (I use www.imgur.com)

    Make sure you resize it before uploading it so it fits the reader's screens.

    Then copy the image link (direct link if you use imgur), click the insert image icon ([​IMG]) above and paste the image link address into the pop-up window.

    Hi,

    saw your pictures on facebook, you got some serious riding going on there.
    Really envy you having all those muddy paths, sadly not so many here in Taiwan, but I'm just beginning to explore.
    Got my AT just 3 weeks ago... one of maybe 5 or 4 in the whole country..
    BTW, those rims look great and are a perfect match....

    Here is mine, got it dirty on a local dirt track, scary with those tires, they really suck.... TCK's are on their way :-)

    Maybe you knew this RD07 with Honda-Rothmans Paris-Dakar stickers, but for those who didnt, you will fint it at least interesting.

    I have an RD07 and I bough from this company the stickers to turn mine into "El charro" Cyril Neveu replica. Great service, great price.

    Do the Nevue stickers fit your RD07. His bike was a RD04 and it is difficult from looking at the sticker patterns to determine for which model the stickers are intended.
