    Kicking it old school ... XL500S Thumper Project

    So I disassembled the valves, measured the guides by wiggling the valves, all good there, no play whatsoever. Even though the exhaust guides weren't leaking I lapped them anyway as there was some surface rust on the contact faces from standing so long. Moving onto the intakes I noticed that the...

    Kicking it old school ... XL500S Thumper Project

    So I checked engine compression and was barely getting above a bar  :( Obviously hand cranking it cold isn't a good comparison against the spec but some compression should be present. I checked the valve clearances, adjusted and it was obvious that there was some leakage through the intake...

    Kicking it old school ... XL500S Thumper Project

    Glad to know it can be done without issue. For the record, there is enough wall to install the Bigserts. Now that I have the Timesert kits I feel set for a long life of restoring old motorbikes  Would not attempt the job without a drill press at least, the milling machine I used made the job go...

    Kicking it old school ... XL500S Thumper Project

    Hello Wild Ones. It's been a while. This project has been painfully gathering dust for sometime now in my garage. An accumulating ball of guilt and apathy which I lacked the funds and time to start chipping away at. I finally have a decent garage workspace and decided that enough is enough, so...

    SOLD - 2013 Fully Kitted Suzuki DR650SE

    At first I was set on getting a white model, and was disappointed that I couldn't get the newer models in white. I settled for the grey and I honestly love it now, it's such a cool original colour for a bike, and it looks great when dirty.

    Bike is SOLD With a heavy heart I need to sell my 2013 Suzuki DR650SE. She has just shy of 20,000km on her. I've owned her for 2 years and had several memorable and very dirty trips through SA in that time. The simplicity of this bike makes it an absolute pleasure to own and work on. It has...
