New fluid and proper bleed, new pads should be good as new, CRF mc's are good but a fair few Yamahas had 11mm Pistons in their MC's over the years, recently too.

We will see I kind of had my heart set on the polished silver but when i get a bit more of this rig built and see which way the build has gone I will decide bronze is nice but I guess I want to be a little understated with this build. . OEM crank is ... more »

Not anything major just little things for it, I've decided to get my WR450F supermoto back on the road first, its cylinder head is away getting work done so once that thing is sorted ill start making big moves on this rig. But anyway, first lot of serious

Oh man! haha you got me with this one, Ive had too many arguments or "heated discussions" with old school guys about KTM/Husky Mikuni carby "problems"... First thing I ask "what ratio you running?" "what has that got to do with anything?" *rolls eyes ... more »

Hey mate, just read the whole thread and I like your rear brake lever mod, went through the thread a few times but I didnt see you mention what year the rear brake lever is, I am keen to do the same mod for mine and will fit in with the resto mod thing ... more »

You can see it has cracked along the original join/weld, very common.

Seen it before on OEM rims, I've had a few TIG welded, one cracked again soon after but the other one I still have in my shelf and used daily until I converted my WRF to super moto. With the rim that cracked again I think it has more to do with the guy ... more »

Oh man I've been looking for a Chad Reed Pro Taper bar pad for a few years now, I remember seeing them in the bike shops when I was a kid, if I could go back...

Had all three boots and am Currently running SG12's now, they feel so much tighter and snug around the ankle over the tech 10's but I haven't tried the new Tech 10's yet. I did shatter my ankle in the SG12's but i doubt any boot would have saved me from ... more »

I really like that Kreft PV adjuster... Not that I had too many dramas with the Mikuni but I went with a Lectron on mine, no jets just riding. I run 60:1 all day every day I had no jetting issues.
