Post by: SUZUKI311 on March 19, 2013, 03:14:20 pm: 637ml per leg, 10w/20 according to my old book. i think modern 15wt would be the go.

Not having ridden this year at all, I'm desperate for a ride mate but I'm not sure i can swing it at the moment. Catching up with the other TARTs tomorrow night so will see what we can organise. Might bring the KDX/KX250 Hybrid out for a fang.

Are you going both Sat and Sunday?

Post by: Simo63 on March 21, 2013, 11:53:41 pm: Nice bike Brian .... never realised before the benefit of green guards on a 250 .. no background stickers ;D

Will hopefully take my green machine out if I can get a bloody air filter for it.

Anyone have a Unifilter or K&N filter .. Pod style with 63, 64, 65 or 66mm inlet that I could borrow or buy??

Got let down by 2 suppliers massively today .. one local "Pro" bike shop and another the local Repco dealer .... and in both instances I supplied the brand of filter, the suppliers name in Brisbane (which they both knew already) and the bloody part number ..... what more could I freaking do >:( >:( !!!!!

Far out talk about useless service .. no wonder people shop overseas ::) >:(

Post by: Simo63 on March 22, 2013, 01:11:50 am: Thanks Brian .. apparently Tatey is also having a look for me so hopefully I can get one. Can't ride without it :(

Thanks for looking John, what about the other bloke you mentioned ... sorry can't remember his name, would he have one?

I'll still try and chase a new one today.
