Was an awesome event Craig , Bill and co are very passionate about VMX.Got to get the 500 sorted and get out there.It was Rob Sutherland who told me about his 84 250 with the same problem. Spent the evening with him, Captain and Fossil.Rob has got a very interesting background in MX finishing 3rd in the British Championship in the early 80s. :o :o

My money is still on a cracked head, both the heads.

Luckily I didn’t bet the farm. :D ;D

Re; the head brace, keep in mind that it is not supposed to strengthen the frame but to merely stop vibrations.

So if it was the headstay causing the problem then you might want to give the frame a good inspection as it may be flexing more than normal.

Glad you got it sorted, all other problems will now seem insignificant.

I thought I'd let you guys know, I have now taken this bike out 4 times and really given it a workover with no issues so far. YooHoo

This corrosion problem on this model seems to be on most bikes.

One question do you think there would be a market for a billet replacement cover??

What price do you think it would fetch ???

All good Ted

I was thinking I could do a run of billet covers.
(I sell cnc machines for work )

Should get the bike next week :)

See you in Canberra
