This is a pic of a man made lake in the middle of Canberra, and I think the building is the high court of Australia, you know they wear those gay wiggs

I just wear a beany myself

This pic is from the same spot but looking straight across the water to I think is the national library.

What is the diameter oh the part number 20, plate top of the valves, keeping valve springs in place? My bike is far away, and i'm making tool for pressing valve springs.

Sorry I forgot to mention that concrete thing in the water usually suirts water about 100 metres into the air.
This pic is of the main drag and goes to Parliment house you know where they tell all the lies.

Here I am at the rally with camp set up, its now scotch and coke time

robmoto · 06-18-2010, 05:58 AM

Just another pic of a few other blokes.
We did see some snow for about 2 klm,s beside the road and the dirt road was frozen in a few spots which caught out fellas on mainly road bikes, but sorry I did not take any pics bugga.

If you hang on for ten minutes I will go to my shed and remove the tappet cover and measure for you back shortly.

Rob,

Nice weather for midwinter camping. Is that going north or south for you (or is that south or north...can never remember if it's upside-down or backwards for you blokes)

With the soltice rapidly approaching, I can only be smug for a while longer.

Aapo, I can only from centre of tappet screw to the outside of part no 20 with sight and steel ruler it is 13 millimetres, so times 2 should be 26 mills tight ok .

Hey, wine botle next to me (empty) has a about 27mm neck. So maybe i just modify it from opener? I'll jus cut the screw and put a handle? So then it is easier to trust my friend not to flip my homemade tool on my fingers while pressing valves! I have to nearest shop right now!

Ray it is south of Bathurst maybe click on maps and google it for a better overall map thingy.
It was a good day for riding about 10 degrease,still dam cold on the bike I just fitted heated grips before I left and they are terrific and only 50 bucks a very good investment.
I still was wearing,
1 thermal t singlet
1 mole skin shirt
2 sloppy joes, or jumpers to some

1 pair of jeans
riding gear with thermal winter liners as well,
and I was just right at night down there this time I would say it was minus 3 to say 5 degreas which is the same where I live .

Oooooh, this 800 is quite nice and you must be quite capable if your pit time for tires is so brief. From looking at ausiebatla's linky I'll venture your BIG is a 96 or 97 minus the DR decal on the side cover where yours says suzuki.
But why would you remove your bash plate (sump guard) engine guard? Do you do that for aesthetics?

Tantrum - if you want to tell the year of a DR750 or DR800 by colour, click on this link.
http://www.dr-big.com/ then click on History.

Cheers.

Thanks for the linky ausibatla. It's interesting that the blue was offered every yr but 96'. Perhaps mgt. didn't want to look repetitive
