the addict Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Great info for the SSDT, particularly liked this little gem The Mikuni carb is designed to let out the excess petrol Looks like someone has actually spent time in making sure it does leak properly, did a ******* good job, well done no carb issues there then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl ekblom Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Remember that the Mikuni VM series was designed in the late 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Also... 1) The chain tensioner arm has a spring that fits round a lug on the inside of the swingarm. Fit a cable tie to trap the spring in place. 2) Spare wheel isn't essential but very handy to have. 3) A lockable tool box that you can chain up to the parc ferme fence is a good idea if you don't have 'support' people helping out each morning. You will need WD40, chain lube, rags, long screwdriver for poking lumps of mud out of nooks and crannies and a stiff brush. Also double up on all your backpack tools so that you don't have to worry about repacking it in a rush. 4) Unwind the knurled washer on the front tube valve, you can then see if the tube moves inside the wheel which is better than having the valve rip away. 5) Pop the wheel bearing seals and pack with marine grease. 6) Lock wire the handlebar grips on. I offered to do this for Ishy in 2004, he said "No" but regretted it later that week 7) Shorten the fuel line to make sure it isn't touching the barrel.

g4321 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Interesting list - most seems to be common sense but the comment about a carb being designed to leak fuel is worrying! Good luck in the SSDT Mr B! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Would have thought the Montesa prep. list will be the same minus the carb stuff. The carb. bit made me laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 montesa preplist is ok dont forget montesa rider preplist, spend 6 monts in gym building up arms in case you drop it during the week and theres no one to help you pick it up. Great on the road but so's a harley ! joking aside crankcase gaurd so the chain doesnt crack the crankcase and thats probably it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
