So the T7 has a rotary sidestand switch that’s connected to the back of the sidestand pivot bolt. It sits slightly lower on the bike than the 4mm heavy duty bashplate and could potentially take a knock if you were to ride over a few […]

Wanted to take the Husky out so left the trials bike at home and went to the woods all enduro style where I tried to keep up with a GasGas TXT280. To be fair to the TE300 it’s a wonderful machine, and so easy to […]

The 500 EXC has 19,000km covered and is about to pass 400hrs so I decided to give her some care and attention. Every year I check the valve clearances and when I look at the measured clearances from 2019-2020-2021 and 2022, I can see the […]

The big EXC isn’t designed to cover 2300km over 10 days, but she took it all in her stride. Now that we’re home safely it’s time to inspect her for any unexpected wear, and replace or adjust parts as needed. The only items that either […]

The bike was ready. All consumables were replaced. Fresh tyres, pads, filters, bearings, you name it – it was done. All that was left to do was to go ride the actual trip that was planned. And hope to not fuck anything up too badly. […]
