Hang in there Wade.

Hopefully Dennis had a solid will and trust. After losing my Dad in '23 I really found out how important it is.

From the SFRC Bol d'Oregon 6hr Endurance race last Sunday.

We took 1st in vintage, and clocked the most overall laps.

315 laps/220.5 miles in 6hrs. 🤙🤙

Pretty common in my experience.

Make sure the axle adjusters are even, the chain run is straight, and split the difference.

The tight bit will wear faster than the loose bit, and it'll all even out in the end.

Looks great, Tim!

Still a ways to go on my new garage/shop, but we're getting there.

... and I know whatcha mean about old men and their hoarding. My dad's shop and yard down in CA was FULL of stuff. Tractors, old hit n' miss stationary engines, electronics, the contents of my grandma's house, etc. You name it, he had five of 'em. Most of 'em broken.

#20 stock pilot jets are too small. They generally run better and are less prone to blockage with #22.5

Also make sure the inline fuel filters at the carb fuel inlets are clean.

Neither may fix your problem, but both are known troublemakers and easy to address while you're in there.

I agree

... or buy a complete spoked RD250/400 wheel from the UK or Europe.

Shipping will be the bite there.

Got the new rotor in, problem solved! An amzing upgrade, very worth it.

I would suggest swapping your fork legs to put the caliper behind the left side.

This is a common mod to lower the CG, and reduce the swing weight.

... and look better.
