@ goran e


i will come in June to Bosnia - Livno to, i hope the Winter has gone

Dođem u Bosnu u lipnju nakon Livnu i nadam se da je zima je više

goran e...mate, how it is with riding in Bosna? I mean non pavement roads. Is it save, due to some explosives, which have been left by war from 1992 to 1995?

Thanks.

Ma nije to toliko strašno nema toga baš a mi znamo gdje se smije a gdje nesmije...a javiš se ako te baš nešto detaljno interesira pa provjerimo a evo moih vožnji neki po bosni http://www.motori.hr/forum/index.php/topic,193415.625.html

portugal as a lot to offer in terms of offroad riding. its not a big country, but great landscapes!

some of the track was quite hard, but not too much =P if the fat AT can climb them, also de lighter dakar will hehe

@twinie
thank you for the video link

@Heno
this year i am my fifth time in Bosnia many Km offroad, the frequented gravelroads are save, beside the roads it could be dangerous, watch for signs and ask locals when you are not sure about the track

Year is 1996.

I wish you good luck finding it!

I have a quick question regarding the facet pump. When I got my RD04 I did a complete rebuild before even really riding it (18klm to get her home and the project began). Part of the restoration process was to put the facet in. Anyway the question comes down to an overflow of fuel out of the float bowl ie the key on pump running but engine not running. I have heard that the 40105 facet pump has too much power and that there is another pump from facet that has less power, I'm not having buyers remorse about the pump but I'm just wondering if there is something wrong with the carbs that is allowing the fuel to be forced out the overflow hose? Now its not a lot of fuel but it is fuel coming out when its not supposed to, now I have learned to have the key off until needed, but I am just trolling to see if this has been seen and dealt with.

Thanks for the help

I've been experiencing this myself. I've installed a 'red' facet, but was told hte 'blue' facet is teh low pressure unit, but couldn;t find anywhere. Finally the spareshop refunded my deposit and I just settled for the more powerful one. Been 'looking' for the lower pressure one ever since, as I'm experiencing overflow issues as well when teh bike is standing 'at idle' like traffic situations. I've resorted to closing the fuel tap 'in between'

Again...I thought you fired that mechanic already. For starters your Facet should not run with the key turned on. If you look at the Haynes wiring diagram you will see a fuel cut-off relay in the circuit and from what I gather it is bypassed and your Facet is wired somewhere on the ignition side. The pump should only run when the bike is running.
If you wire it in like your old pump was then you should have the black wire from the new Facet which goes to the green wire which is (ground).
The red wire from the new Facet goes to the wire that is colored blue/black. That wire in turn goes to the fuel cut-off relay as seen in the Haynes manual wiring diagram.
Their is always a possibility you could have some crud on your float needle valve in one of the carbs...but i doubt it. Your pump pressure is just fine on the 40105 and it's not so unusual to see fuel coming out the overflow drain if the pump is running and the engine is not.
