Goeiste! :love::love: Die man het skills.

A bath might be sensible, but I bet it would get cold after a while and being wet and cold during a storm is not so lekker.

Ja nee I think it's a bit rough laying a R12K+ additional expenditure onto owners after the fact.

I can't see them replacing the driveshaft every 60k km. No manufacturer replaces a part free of charge indefinitely. Once, maybe twice tops. Then again, a third time would imply 180,000km n the clock, I don't think even 20% of their bikes reach that mileage so maybe they're counting on that.

Also spent this weekend working on the console I want to build. Start off cutting cardboard to fit in place and get some ideas of how I can do it. Then transfer the design to some plywood I have lying around. the idea is to have a section at the top for the phone, and work in some cupholders...

Jis dis nou lekker, ek mis nou sommer die dae toe ek en my laaities so rondgespeel het. Hulle praat nou nog daarvan, dis 'n moerse ervaring vir hulle om so saam met Pa dit te doen. En net so gaan jou dogter ook nog jare hierna gesels hieroor, en die memories hou en koester. Well done man, en...

I had a thought last night, so I went out to the garage to check the choke on the carb itself to make sure it was not stuck open or something. It wasn't. Oh well. Commuting this morning again, no smoking that I could see through the rear view mirror. This is becoming all smoke and mirrors.

Jebus, man, you and I could been twins! Well, because we're both big. But on the autism side, I feel you man. I want to raise my hand and say "me too" but this is not the right time or place. just know you're not alone. Or hang on, you're not the only one. Yeah, sounds better. I don't know you...

Great idea, will do thanks Bear.

I did hone the cylinders myself, not a hell of a lot because they actually still has fresh hone marks on them. I just just enough to dull them a bit. I did not check piston the sleeve clearance.

Thanks @GeenSand. Yes I fitted new rings to the existing pistons, I cannot really recall what the ring gap was but I did measure it and it was within spec. Well, at the time, at least. All fitted with the gaps on opposite sides. The oil rings were different to the old ones, though, but I...

The only concern I have is that the smoking is a sign of pending doom. If it's not then I can live with it for a while, but I cannot help but worry the whole time. Assuming it is burning oil, and if the compression is all good then how does the oil get to the combustion chamber? I have new...

Mmmm, ok it seems I must've been squint of something when I checked the oil yesterday. While it's quite clean it is not close to the max mark… it just below the min mark. 🤦‍♂️ A few weeks back when I replaced the fuel pump I definitely filled it to the max mark, so it does seem to be using a...

Thanks guys, some great feedback here. I'll certainly try kicking the tyre. Sommer all four. I just realised that the pistons have more carbon on the front than the rear because that is where the sparkplug sits. Combustion is obviously mostly on the front. No brake booster in this car...

OK so the smoking still persists, it seems, albeit much less. I can't really see it in the rear view mirror but after wife told me (she drove behind me) about it we swapped cars and I followed her, and she still smokes. The mini, that is. It's a white-ish smoke, and according to google it could...

@petri oosthuizen sit my maar op die lys, ek gaan probeer kom. Enige ander pretorianers wat al roetes beplan of iets?

Goeiste! Nou's ek bly ek het hom al op my lysie afgetick.

Hoe lag mens meer as een keer vir 'n post?
