Pics?

[a13x]

Yup. Sethypoo and I will be there tomorrow

[Paul_E_D]

Pics?

There's nothing to see. I found no cracks in the case or anything. Just a leaking slave cylinder. It was leaking in a peculiar place though. leading me to believe the housing for the slave is cracked. I think gearbox oil was escaping either through the countershaft seal or the slave housing, both of which were under sever pressure when the chain jammed in there.

I ordered a new slave assembly and new countershaft seal parts just to be safe. Hopefully that will be it.

I'm not going to run a slave cylinder guard in the future. It was the guarg that allowed the chain to jam so severely.

[seth399]

^cool, hope there are no major cracks

[typeone]

wish i could join you guys today, have a blast, temps are freekin choice

[Paul_E_D]

Oh man! Riding season is OPEN!

[a13x]

Seth and I got on the track sometime around 4:15. Was worried it would be pretty beatup but it really wasn't bad. Yea sure was bit choppy and some ruts but I was loving it. The berms, dirt, and temps were MINT and I rode the best today that I have all year!

Last moto out I removed the 'quiet' baffles from my LeoVince full system and HOLY SHIT that opened the bike up so much!! I hadn't ridden the bike 'opened up' with the new system on yet, just had run it with the baffles in (put the pipe on two rides ago), and wow, so sick. Where I normally ride it has to be 'very quiet' so my 'quiet' baffles actually have washers welded on (thanks Mike Martire) so the exit outlet is pretty tiny, was def choking the system up cause when I took them off the bike was just PULLING out of the turns. Big improvement over the system I had on there prior (FMF Powerbomb w/stock cans)

Got home 11pm. Good day.

[seth399]

yes was fun day, perfect day for riding...they mowed down a few doubles again which sucks but the track is still such a great practice spot.

[Paul_E_D]

Woot! Wish I could say the same about my last day at CH. I'm still nursing a rib injury.

Edit: which doubles? I knew that was coming as the ambulance count was high...

[seth399]

that new tricky one before you take the uphill right hander, then you hit the double that is always there into the left hander and they made the next double a bump in the ground again you kinda just power over/float over into the left then downhill double

[Paul_E_D]

Hum. That one before the uphill right hander is definitely where people were getting hurt. The one up top, before the left, was so small I was going way past the landing.

[seth399]

ya that is true, but as luck would have it, dude binned the downhill double yesterday right infront of me then I think another guy behind me wrecked into him and got taken away in ambulance.

[seth399]

and the girl with the big jumblies sprayed me in the face with the water hose

[Paul_E_D]

sounds like a good time!

[a13x]

You should have sprayed her in the face with your 'water' hose:

More what I was thinking.
