« on: June 27, 2020, 03:02:07 pm »

A mate asked if I can source the under seat electric gear, voltage regulator and such to fit his XR 500[ in preparation for rego] I believe his wire harness is intact.
Can anyone help or offer some good advice please?
Cheers

egr.= Exhaust gas recirculator
 Feeds exhaust gas back to the inlet manifold
Part of the pollution control stuff
It is illegal to put a blanking plate to disable the device
The plates are usually easy to buy from ebay, and google provides the technical details.
They can make the inlet manifold oily and foul.
This may be the smoking cause??

Stem seals or EGR issue?

Sounds like valve stem seals/ valve guides. How many km's ?

Ballards has moved and changed
I don't know if Geoff has anything to do with the business any more.
I was unable to get any Ballards specific products last week.
I loved the old Ballards
and dont  feel the same any more

I have one I bought from a friend when he sold his big something 109 - Suzuki maybe -I think it weighted 250 kg or probably more. It doesn't lift as high as you ask though, I think about 40 - 50 cm. It is quite compact, I store mine under a bench or on its end against the wall. It has rollers, my friend used it like a train turntable. I think you can get them from Autobarn/ Repco type places and maybe a couple 100 $, but regularly on special.
Although it doesn't lift a long way I've used it to raise bikes for working on them and also for lowering engines for removal. It's been good especially in combo with a short stool.
