Re: rubber for exhaust bracket

It's where the expansion bolts to the crankcase side bracket, with the 2 m8 bolts. I've ordered some nylon bar. I'll cut it to size and drill it. Can't find heat resistant rubber.
How's it going dug?

Hello all,the rubber washers that fit between my expansion chamber(nk),and crankcase bracket have fallen apart. What alternatives could i use? I was thinking of grinding some jl bushes down.

Re: which gearbox?

I used sx 200 box for years. good for rallies/long stretches. Tended to drag in traffic,when motor got hot.
Tend to use li 150 17/48,or li125 18/47 these days.
My mate still uses sx200 box for last 15 years,with no problems.

Re: loose engine mounts

swapped the mounts from one side to the other,and they weren't hand tight. very strange.
genuine sil mounts. may well just try bearing fit.
