As I seem to have a lot of bike stuff going on at the moment which includes my old dirt bikes and classic club stuff on road bikes as well as some adventure rides I decided to start a thread were I can share some of the pics that I take along the way and use it as way to discuss anything of interest that may arise as a result so please feel free to comment or ask questions along the way..
Here's a few from today to kick it off and as I get time I might also go back through some of my earlier pics and post them up.
Decided to take my old XR for a spin after recently re doing the top end. These were taken in the scrub around Yackandah Vic

another xr RE needing a top end...sigh will people never learn....

I take it your not a fan of the early XR's then ::).
As this is an 83' complianced XR250R, that makes it nearly 33 years old and although I don't know what sort of history it had I have to say it has done a mighty fine job of luging my fat arse around a few vinduro's since I have owned it. Therefore I must say I have a lot of respect for this mighty little bike and I think it's quite entitled to be getting a bit smokey after all that time.
And even though it was getting tired it still managed this at Cooka in 2014 with around 115kgs on it's back. ;D

As for the motor when I pulled it down it really only needed a set of rings but as I had a better piston, rings and barrel from my old XL I swapped it over instead and was really happy with how the bike performed today. So with the XR250R, XL500s and Cr250R all up and running I think I will give the Husky a rest and make it an all Honda affair for me at Nimmitabel this year. ;D
Here's a few picks of the donor bike. Unfortunately it did a gear in the gearbox a while back while lugging myself and the young bloke around some single trail near Bonnie Doon (yep that's right a 30 year old bike that didn't cost very much broke down while carrying far more than it was designed to in terrain it wasn't designed for and I had a lot of fun doing it, how dare it- sigh. Will I never learn) which was a real shame as I was quite fond of it as well but with so many bikes on the go at the moment I decided to steal some parts off it for the XR.

I just got one of those XL250R's for my son to ride for $100.00 , it had a rocker cover leak and the frame had cracked at the right foot peg through rust and neglect fixed both , cleaned the carbs out and it run like a beaut , he has the choice of a 250s twin shock or the 250r now so he's like a puppy with 2 d!@ks he loves both although the mono shock is his first choice most times I even dont mind a ride around on either sometimes
-
Thanks Troy for starting the thread and photos of the trusty XR.
Once I get over this 'flu I will be freshening-up the XR250RF for this year's VTR events.
I still haven't found a 2 stroke to mix up the riding. Nearly bought an IT200 but the gap between seller's description and actual bike condition was a canyon. >:(
Anyway, look forward to catching-up at Nimmitabel.
-
another xr RE needing a top end...sigh will people never learn....
How many Husky fourstrokes make it to over 30 years old without a top end rebuild? For that matter, how many fourstroke Huskies still have the original motor in them?
Great topic Trokel. Looks like you have a few choice riding spots!
-
I think 80-85 husky was referring to that particular model Xr 250 having head cracking problems.
-

Sounds like a good find at that price. I have a spare XR bottom end so I could probably get mine going again but honesly given the other bikes I have I think it will get parted out. Might use the disc brake front end on the XL500 if I find I don't like the 23" front.
Anyway, look forward to catching-up at Nimmitabel
Likewise. Maybe we should get a flag too so we can stick it to the green team. ;D

There are many more things I could add to continue this discussion but instead I think I will leave it here and continue with some more pics.
Like this one - Thanks to the mighty little XR all the good little boys and girls got there Xmas presents this year. ;D

Yes there is some excellent riding around this area and also some interesting things to go and see along the way.
Here's a couple of the underground hut in the Yack forest which I only just recently found out about.

This one was taken in the same section of forest which is normally either Pine plantation or eucalyptus scrub land as can be seen in the first pic at the start of this thread so this lush vegetation was quite a surprise.

Here's another one of the old XR after mixing it with some modern bikes at the local motocross club practice session and damn it was muddy.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/SparkiesRide009_zpsb8fe20b8.jpg)

WoW....that underground hut is very interesting. Talk about going to extraordinary lengths to grow some plants, that is it right there!
-
make no mistake, the little xr 's from 83- 85 are great riding but can be high maintenance. hey, they even had a disk! ol mate has one that is a real rocket but he has just had to redo the top end after a billowing smokey finale he didn't need but he has got it back in tip top shape.
I saw some shocking fails in the 84 - 85 enduro seasons with cracked cases, head gaskets on a regular basis and all sorts of cam / valve gear issues and the bikes weren't right till the g model appeared and they have been great ever since. if well looked after, they didn't cause all that much trouble and some people have original bikes with original motors and no probs but there are some Lada's like that too
-
Good one Troy. Will bring wine to Cooka.
Cheers Rob.

Excellent, I will look forward to that ;D
Here's a few bike pics from the SR500 Rally that is held at Bethanga each year and is only about 20mins away from me so this year I thought I better go out for a look. Especially now that I have a little 81' SR250 project on the go.

I doubt that would be the reason. Maybe you need to look back and see if you were well behaved all year. Remember Santa only comes to the GOOD little boys and girls :)
I like the café look
Normally I am not a big fan of the whole café style but admittedly there are some that really come up nice.

Here's some picks from an overnight adventure ride I did last year that I thought might be interesting.
My trusty DRz
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Tom%20Groggin%20Jan15%20003_zpswvk9e9km.jpg)
A couple of the guys crossing the Murray river at Tom Groggin

(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Tom%20Groggin%20Jan15%20016_zpswj89rm1l.jpg)
And after a refreshing dip it was off again
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Tom%20Groggin%20Jan15%20019_zpskhxxgnx7.jpg)
And here's a way to dry out your boots afterwards
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Tom%20Groggin%20Jan15%20027_zpshsdechzp.jpg)
-
Lucky the beemer didn't drown...... that would be a right bastard to de-water.
-
Thanks for sharing the photos Trokel510.
Tex
-
I andering how you go about dewatering a beemer? would be a task I wouldn't want to face late in the arvo in a mountain scenario while dripping wet
-
Fortunately he was very lucky and we didn't have to de-water it. Not sure if the Beamers are the same but my Tiger 800XC has a tilt switch in it that shuts it off if it falls over. Also there was quite a few 4x4's waiting at the crossing so a few people ran in pretty quickly to help out. But after that little incident seeing as a few of the guys already had wet feet the next bike through got a personal escort.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Tom%20Groggin%20Jan15%20020_zpsmjhd6cth.jpg)
Will dig out some more photo's from my Adventure rides when I get a chance but in the meantime I have been shopping again today and as a result it looks like my much loved little XR250R might have to move on to a new home to help fund and also make room for this ;)
89' XR600R
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/DSCN4423_zpsi2zgvz0w.jpg)
After digging through some of my spares I found the correct colour front guard for it and although the seat cover is in pretty good nick I would like to change it back to the original style eventually.
-
Have had a lot going on with work at the moment but fortunately I managed to find the time to take the kids out for a ride on Australia day and that also gave me the opportunity to test out 2 of my most recent bike purchases, the 01' XR250R and the 89' XR600R and they both performed brilliantly. ;D
The later 01' model 250 (LHS in Pic) was perfect for dinking the kids around on and the old 89' 600 which I believe is actually a 620 now was perfect for riding on the back wheel and I can't wait to take it to my next Vinduro which will be at Nimmitabel in mid March :evil

A couple of weekends ago the Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Enthusiasts Club had their annual bike show at the Wicked Virgin in Rutherglen and as a member of the club I would normally show some of my bikes as well but I had family commitments this year so didn't have the time to spare. However I did manage to drop in for a look and it was quite a good turn out. Was a great mix of older and newer bikes on display ;D
Here's a pic of my young bloke with the Tiger in the morning on our way down to Mulwala for a Cub activity

Was going through a few of my older pics and came across these from my trip to the 2012 KLRR (KLR Rally) in the Flinders Ranges which was an awesome 5 day ride and ventured through some fantastic scenery so thought they were worth sharing.

Took the Kids out riding today and finally managed to get Jennifer to start riding on her own (2 years after her Twin sister) on a PW50 that i did up recently and once she started the only thing that stopped her was when it finally ran out of Fuel and it had already been topped up once. :) Also it was the first proper outing for the 01' XR250 that I bought after selling the postie and AG200's that we used to use and after setting it up for riding with the kids it did the job perfectly while still allowing me to have some fun.
Here's a few Pics
Was great watching the Girls ride around together

That is a really good question as it is before my time I am not sure what it was but now I might have to try and find out or if anyone else knows please fill us in.
Here is a pic from the other side.

I think that the old bike is a model H Triumph but could be wrong on the model and I would think about 1914/16 and looks very nice.

Well Done - After a bit of googling it looks like you might have it. Definitely Triumph from that era but from the info i found the model H didn't have pedal power which this one does but it was hard to find anything conclusive on that . After doing some research I was surprised to find out that the engine capacity was a lot larger than it looked at around 499 to 550cc depending on what you read.

A few weeks back I picked up a Safari tank off ebay for the DRz so decided to go out for a trail ride with a mate of mine to try it out and ended up doing around 360k's for the day and found some great tracks along the way as well as some rather strange round bales on a property near Dederang.

Just saved another classic old bike from a life of sitting out in the weather under a tarp and going to waste. Needs some work but it is complete and in reasonable original condition. All things going well the plan is to get this on Historic Rego and then who knows maybe one day I might even get to Harrow on it.
What do you think?

Cool. I'm in the process of "rescuing" a TT350 that was doomed to a similar fate. It shows just over 6000k's on the speedo but it wasn't given much respect in it's short life. It runs great now that I replaced the rotted carb inlets, disassembled and cleaned the carbs and removed the troublesome auto decomp from the head. Cams are as new and clearances are spot on. I also opened up the top of the airbox so the poor thing can breathe. I don't know how Yamaha expected the motor to breathe with 2 x 40mm holes as an airbox inlet ::)
I picked up a cheap Staintune muffler and have grafted it onto the TT with a bit of cutting and welding. It looks and sounds heaps better than the heavy stock muffler.
Also had to replace the swingarm and linkage bearings....OUCH, nearly $500 for the parts! At least now there is no free play at all. Disassembled, cleaned and renewed the forks with fresh seals and 10wt oil.
I've put on some tyres and replaced the brake shoes and pads.....there's another $300 ::) The wheel sets cleaned up great. As far as I can tell, the bike had only had 1 front tyre and 2 rears in it's life!
Now for a bit of a cosmetic once over, a new seat cover and the old jigger should be good for another 30 years.
Have fun with the XT Troy!

You might have to sell something Troy. There can't be much room left in your shed.
Good get. Looking forward to pics of the finished product.
Cheers Chippy.

Your not wrong but I am quite attached to all of them so not sure what I would get rid of. Although I did sell the Little XR250 a while back and may consider getting rid of the XL500 if this bike turns out OK.

A couple of weekends back I took the Tiger away for a night up to the Autumn Leaf Rally at Tumorrama between Tumut and Wee Jasper and along the way ended up having to do my first roadside tube change for this bike which was the result of the bike shop putting an 18" tube in my 17" rear. Just glad it blew on this trip at low speed on the dirt rather than 2up hooking around the bitumen in the hills which could have been the case.
Anyway here's some pics
Glad I fitted the optional centre stand

After taking the wife's little XT200 along with the CR250 and XR600 to the last VTR Vinduro at Yass I found that I really enjoyed the little 200 in the tight stuff so I have decided to embark on a project to turn an old XT225 I bought as parts bike over a year ago into a customized lightweight vinduro bike that will suit my larger size a bit better so here are some pics of what I am up to.
First of all here is a shot of me on the old 200 courtesy of the VTR guys.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/Yass%2024_zpsepml1tgr.png)
And here is the 225 when I bought it. On the surface it looks reasonable but when you start digging it is full of surprises and none of them were good but as I said it was only originally bought for parts.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/XT225%20002_zps7u7jovrq.jpg)
Check out the really cool bit of kinked rubber hose that joins the muffler of unknown origin to the original header pipe (some people just have no idea)
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/XT225%20004_zpsvccealcy.jpg)
Along with that it has no front brakes and the wrong size front axle, a Kawasaki 18" rear wheel with the wrong brake assembly that doesn't work and has no compression due to a bent valve, is missing the airbox to carb boot and no doubt a few other things I haven't discovered yet but that is all part of the challenge.
-
While fiddling and throwing around ideas I found the alloy muffler from the 85 xr250r I scrapped should work well and then I started looking at an old IT tank and XT200 seat as well as fitting an XR250r rear shock as can been seen at the bottom of the 2nd pic next to the stock one.

Looks like a few more cold nights in the shed to come!

Looks like a few more cold nights in the shed to come!
Always have some sort of project on the go, so spend quite a bit of time in the shed but not a big fan of the cold which is why many years ago I built a heater out of an old LPG cylinder, 2 speed fan forced I might add hence the corrugated iron cowling you can see around the outside.

Also a few weeks ago in preparation for a Classic Club dirt bike ride I finally got the old XL500s on Historic rego. Unfortunately due to bad weather the ride was called off but this arvo after work I took it for a spin out to Lake Hume and also took some pics.

The XL looks great Troy.
Funny you mention having a fan installed on your heater. I have the same set up and was just last night thinking about a fan. Where did you put the fan?

Thanks. The XL was in a very sad state when I found it and it's future was looking even worse if it had stayed where it was. Fortunately I was able to do a deal that made me happy enough to take the gamble on it and thankfully it has paid off. Because all of my bikes are for riding enjoyment rather than show I will probably never do a full resto on any of them but I do like to make them tidy looking and most of all reliable and the XL seems to have worked out quite well. As I did quite a bit to it mechanically, Before deciding to register it I took it to the VTR Vinduro at Nimmitabel as well as the Broadford bike Bonanza to test it out.
Here's a couple of pics from Broadford
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Broadford%20Bike%20Bonanza%202014/2016/12891038_984327521622169_5792275004283734044_o_zps6z11kymi.jpg)

As for the heater. Here is a pic of the fan, from memory I bought it at a garage sale for $5 and that was probably around 12 years ago at least. Since this pic was taken I have moved the heater from there to our current house.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/shed%20heater3_zpsax8npibg.jpg)
I reckon the fan really makes a difference. It heats the whole shed rather than having to stand close to it for warmth, also everything located around the back of it stays cool so it can be located closer to the wall etc.
-
Ok. I see what you've done there with the fan. Thanks
-
Can't seem to help myself, just added another project to the shed. ;)

Cosmetically not too bad but has a bent valve at a minimum.

Well done Troy, looks like a nice pick-up. So will you be bringing the TT250 or IT250 to Yass? (or both)?

At this stage I have no idea as I am still working on the XT225 . Have managed to adapt the XR250 rear shock into it as well as XR forks on IT triples so it is progressing.

Took the young bloke out to the Bandiana Army Museum on the weekend and along with the host of interesting old Military vehicles and tanks on display there is a few bikes as well so here is a few pics. ;) Unfortunately I only had my old camera on me so some of the pics were a bit blurry but i thought they were still worth sharing.

OK, it has been a little while since posting in here as I have had a lot going on. After Harrow I turned my attention back to my other project dirt bikes which have been piling up for quite some time. Plus a few others not pictured here :D
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/DSCN5530_zpsahhylsux.jpg)
But for various different reasons they haven't been working out how I wanted so I decided to turn my attention to the wife's little 81' SR250 cruiser that has been sitting idle since I purchased it about a year and a half ago. I was told when I got it that it had been rebuilt and then sat for 10 years but after buying it I found it was very low on compression so I parked it in the corner of the shed until I had time to look at it. So last Sunday I went in search of the missing compression and ended up stripping it to a bare frame.
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/DSCN5549_zpsrtr04ysv.jpg)
And as for the compression, It has been re bored, has fresh hone marks in the cylinder and a new looking genuine piston but there seems to be a slight problem with the rings :o
(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/DSCN5544_zpsdoox5p7q.jpg)
One interesting thing about these little bikes is they are basically the 2 valve XT250 motor with electric start so parts are pretty easy to find and they are quite good to work on so hopefully I should have it up and running pretty soon and in the meantime I have started on polishing and painting all the other bits and pieces.
-
And while I am at it I thought I might as well post a few pics of my old 83' XJ900R (which I still have) and some pics from the rides it has been on.
Like a lot of older road bikes it handles the dirt quite well even with a pillion

a bit of maintenance - just think of it as one carby but you have to do it 4 times

you putting another or doing the original up?
-
Pulled the original motor with the intention of rebuilding it but currently it is still sitting on the shelf as the one pictured came up on ebay at the same time. The original 83' motor is 853cc and only came out for one year then they went to 891cc and a slightly bigger carby. So the engine it has currently is an 891cc from an 85' model with carby's to suit and I also fitted 85' model forks which did away with the earlier anti dive system. Aside from that it has had an XJR1200 tank fitted because the original ones were prone to rusting out.

Hi, just a note about the massive ring gap in the SR/TT cylinder & apologies if i've not read the whole story--SR's are 228cc & TT's are 248 or something but ook identical externaly bar the starter set up. So [guessing] if someone bored their SR to TT bore size but ended up with SR rings--then you'll have a ring gap you could drive a horse & cart through. SR head gasket is smaller of course to fit the smaller bore but if it's been bored bigger it looks like the TT gasket has been used ok. Talking TT-XT 2valver not the later 4 valve. Ignore me if i'm off the planet. Just scrolled past the pic & saw the big ring gap & thought Hmmm, nothing wears that much.

Thanks for the input and funny you should mention that. On the weekend while cleaning up the Barrel I noticed the 239cc marking and thought that was odd. So I checked the specs and the SR250 Bore x Stroke is 73.5 x 56.5 and the XT250 is 75 x 56.5. You would have to wonder why Yamaha would do that. And yes it appears mine has been bored out to 1st O/S XT250 specs. Unfortunately I ordered the new rings from the SR part numbers which had been superseded by XS650 parts yet when I checks the XS650 specs they matched the bore size I currently have so who knows what I will end up with. :o
The joys of old bikes.

Sorry, 239cc it is [been 30 years lol] yeah noticed that when i had one in bits at work & wondered what their reasoning was for 'that' as hardly makes economical sense i'd think. Damn nice little road bike though & preferred them to the GN250 & we sold both at the time. One of my projects i gave up on & sold on [after a MX head injury confused my thinking for a bit] was an SR motor i had mounted in a twin cam TT250 frame. Wish i'd held on to it now [as we say about lots of bike from years gone by].
-

Plan is to put it on Club rego for the missus to ride but I must admit that I really like the styling of it and am looking forward to getting it up and running so I can take it for a spin.
Here is some pics of how it looked before I stripped it down and as you can see it is complete and some of the hard work was already done by way of the paintwork and seat cover but when you looked closely there was quite a bit of rusted stuff and and lots of mechanical and electrical issues, but I bought it as project and I think once all the hard work is done it will be a top looking little bike and should go a bit better than the original as aside from the extra CC's it is also running the XT pumper Carb instead of the original CV.

Took the ol'900 for a spin today out via Lake Hume today and it is good to see the water level up so high thanks to the recent rains. Should make for a good summer of watersports. Word is it might even spill this year. :D

Well I have been hard at work on the little SR and it is finally back together but unfortunately it isn't running yet as the starter clutch is playing up. Still have a few other little bits and pieces to finish off but it is basically finished. Here are some before and after pics to show what it went through to get to this point. The big challenge in order to keep costs down has been restoring basically all the original parts to a nice looking condition rather than buying any new parts. However the front rim was beyond repair so I bought a second hand wheel which had a good rim but the hub and spokes were in worse nick.

(http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/trokel_photos/Motorbike%20Pics/DSCN5721_zps5i4sjvxv.jpg)

Nice job Troy ....Very Nice
Now if you got some spare time I have a few bikes you can do your Magic on ...
Only if you got nothing to do that is ... ;D ;D ;D ;D

OK, no worries will get onto them as soon as I finish the IT250, IT400, XT250, XT600 and XT225 that are still sitting here. Oh and then I almost forgot there is the TT250, DT200,DT400 and my Uncles Honda scooter. By the time I get them done I will probably need to do some more work to the XR600, XL500, XR250, CR250 as well as the Husky. So it could be a little while off yet before I get to yours. ;D

Well you better hurry up then .....No time for the forum

I know. Might have to send the missus back to work so I can stay at home to work on bikes. ;)

Took Kel away for our 19th wedding anniversary on the old XJ last weekend and had a great time. Stayed Friday night at a fantastic little B&B in Lankeys Ck out of Jingellic then went up through Tumba and the Elliot way around to Tumut for Saturday night.
Hillviewoak B&B. Great little place at a very good price.

I got conned into riding down the "walking track" into the wonnangatta 15 years ago on a 450 kato. NEVER EVER again :o :o :o

It is a very interesting place with some quite challenging tracks especially due to the recent heavy rains. On this ride I only scratched the surface so hopefully at some point in the future I will get a chance to go back and look around some more.

A beautiful area of Aus. I lived in Wodonga for 17 years and loved every minute. I would still be there but for "Uncle's" sending all their IT off shore. I still have a 'van at Mitta, the start of arguably the best set of twisties in Australia.
Lovin' your work!
Phill.

The SR500 rally is on again this weekend in Bethanga and the plan was to take the little SR250 along but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get it registered so will be riding the old XL instead and this year will be camping the night so hopefully should have some good bike pics to post up when I get home.
Here's the XL packed and ready.

Mostly it was dry and dusty so this bog in the middle of a downhill track came as quite a surprise and abruptly stopped this berg in it's tracks.

Absolutely, unless something goes horribly wrong between now and then. It will be the first real outing for the IT250 and will mark the start of this years vinduro season for me so am really looking forward to it. Then 2 weeks after that I will be heading to Broadford for the Bike Bonanza.
