Juat wondering if anybody wants to ride in the Campbell River area in the late afternoons/early evening?

It's getttin kinda nice sorta out there!

lemme know!

I'm on the 950 so super brutal singletrack is probaby out for me but anything else would be great!

Hey Curt, how you liking the 950? I just put the engine back in my 640 after rebuilding it, should have her ready for a test tomorrow night. If all is well I may be into riding on the weekend. I have to do the break-in speeds for the first little while to seat the rings, so If we get together for a ride you may have to pull one of your spark plug leads off so I can keep up.

No riding for me yet, fired the 640 up and still hear some engine noise I don't like so out she comes again and this time I'm going to split the cases and change some bearings. I would much rather ride than wrench but I guess it's not in the cards.

Hey Lars, I thought about a lot of differn't bikes, including another round with a KLR, last fall but decided to stick with what I have. For my needs the 640 Adventure is the best bike out there and I will swap when something better comes along. Meanwhile I tore the engine down again, put a dial guage on the end of the crankshaft and found it to be tweaked a little past spec. So after I replace the crank and bearings the engine {hopefully} should be good for another 40,000+ km. A few other things I've done to try to help with longevity is switch the ignition over to the low octane setting which should provide a softer hit and have the machine shop take a little thickness out of the cylinder head well which will give the piston more room and lower the compression ratio a wee bit. So here's keeping my fingers crossed........

David.
