G'day all I have recently purchased a manual for my postie (picked up from the tip) and can't find any information about the kick stand. The bike has stands...
Dear All, Anyone want to make comment on the recommendation given to 'Postie Bike Challenge' entrants about sustained high speed riding. I believe they ...
I believe after a hard run that the motor should be allowed to cool down before stopping by leaving it to tick over for a while.Also slowing down for the last...
Thanks for your input Tom, Cooling down for'a while'is one of those subjective phrases which could mean any length of time but I guess it depends on the...
I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A SET OF TYRES AND TUBES FOR MY V90T YAMAHA POSTIE,$66.00 DOLLORRS C.O.D. FROM QUEENSLAND BRAND NEW,THESE ARE THE SAME SIZE AS YOUR...
I do a 25km commute. I put a 16 tooth on the front sprocket an now 60-70 is much more comfortable (ie the engine doesnt sound like it will blow up), can get up...
interesting your 'cooling down method'but arnt the motors air cooled???? and leaving them to idle would only make them hotter as no air is going past the...
i brought 3 sets of tires(6 in total) plus tubes from logan inports for 150 bucks and there 17-300 and try putting talcum powder on the tire bead works real...
Pete, The heat created by thrashing along can be huge. At Idle heat generated is much less (but able to be radiated away by the motor), and obviously turned...
Stevo, I'm with Pete on this. The quickest way to boil a high- performance air-cooled (or water-cooled with no fan) engine is to have it idling at a...
As someone else noted, NEVER use armor-all. It's a fantastic lubricant & therefore deadly on tyres - it doesn't evaporate away, it's like wiping your tyres in...
When you guys run your race engines on methanol,,which oil do you prefer to use? Do you advance the ign timing to compensate for the slower burning fuel? (the...
-Hi Tiny, At the moment my oil of choice is Fuchs titan 60 which says it is suitable for methanol, it's quite heavy so I allow a longer warmup before giving it...
--On the ignition subject, if motor is modified to be more effecient as I know yours is, you can actually retard the timing a bit from standard which will give...
Thanks for your input Noel , I wasn't expecting a "free ride" , I'm just hoping to pull the 16 tooth c/shaft sprocket I have (30 up back) using methanol,,@ the...
i raced a formula 500 using methanol for 7 years an i used bp visco engine oil without a single sizure castor oil wears engine component and personally i...
My bike sat unused under a carport for a couple of years before I got it. I have changed the oil 3 times now and it's still coming out black. What is this...
My bike is leaking a lot of oil from the cam chain tensioner screw just in front of the gear lever. Is there a seal of some kind in there or something that...
Thanks again for your input gentlemen, It would appear that opinion on cooling down our little friends is a bet each way at the moment. The 'postie bike...
next time i buy tyres i will try talc powder,seems logical.the only part i used armour all was to put a little bit on a rag and rubed it on the tyre only where...
Get ready.... Tomorrow is supposed to be the day that Posties appear in thecoolhunter.net Check it out. Also looks certain the Posties will be going into...
Bought a postie bike for my partner to potter round town. She needed a license, went on the required pre-learner training course. She's never driven a manual...
Hi, I have heard of this before and I think you will find that the trainer has got it wrong. I recommend that you check with the RTA and don't give up. Also...
What state are you in? I checked with the NSW RTA yesterday because I had a similar enquiry. They said all bikes, even 50cc and scooters required a Class 'R'...
Well the www.thecoolhunter.net has featured Posties. But not as I expected. I was hoping for a more generic approach. Unfortunately it features me! I much...

This is true in remote areas. However if you live within a certain distance of any training place then you HAVE to go and do the pre-learner training course...
