Going to try the new Hummer G4

Rod and weegee...thanks for the info guy's...much appreciated.

Firstimer...you lucky bastard..you got the OHC model

Good luck with it mate...I'm with Rod and Weegee...I change my oil often at the mo but have not had any particles in the screen. I ride her all day usually with 1 refuel (and lots of refuels for me)...I have to keep up with a 15 yo so I go a bit harder than norm I guess.

This photo of yours I have doctored a bit to show you a trouble spot that WILL develop if you ride hard (ruts and whoops) with HT lead earthing out on the frame.

Bend the brakets into an "S" shape and space it out with 2 washers to correct it. This has been the single most troublesome prob with my bike...all good now though.

Be interesting to see what the power output is on those Evo III motors Rod.

At the mo...I'm just chewing up chains. Need to fit a good chain and sprocket and thrash her some more.

Any ideas on hoe to check the Nitrogen level in your rear shock without losing any. Mine seems too lose.

Can anyone do a quick tech post on adjusting the rear shock for damping and rebound.....have to take mine out to do it by the look of it unless someone has a better idea?

Good luck and enjoy.

Doc

Hi there ppls,just back from the RTA, got my rec reg without a hitch.
The inspector glanced at the VIN number and then the engine number and thats all!! no toot me horn or light me up or show us ya brake.....hmmmmm
There is one issue however and that is to get dreamrider to send you a receipt with their actual address and not the P.O Box as they are currently doing.He rang the number on the receipt but u guessed it, no answer...by this time I was really sweating it out! I was almost brought to a hault on this technicality than the whole bike put together, so make sure you demand a real address from Dreamrider. Another issue is having the vin number and engine number on the receipt, you may have noticed it's not listed. I photocopied the receipt and thru word I lined up the numbers on the page so as when you feed the paper thru you will have a complete receipt.....naughty I know but as you read above, the silly things like that may stall the whole thing. I was fortunate that I had taken the delivery docket with me from star track express and he accepted the wharehouse address......phew!!
Cheers

Hey guys
I just bought a carbon fiber muffler from that store in the Phillipines via ebay, i have been speaking to them and they said the carbon fiber muffler offers the best performance and safety as it stays cooler and wont burn if you stack it, all up it cost me $136.00 including delivery not bad for a performace muffler from overseas, but it looks like i will have to jet the carby does anyone know what they are standard?

I've asked Bataycan to forward performance details of their engines - on the basis that there are a few guys over here in Australia that may be interested.

I'll publish details when they arrive.

I've also asked them about oversize foot-pegs - which would also be welcome.

DOC - the compression & rebound adjustment on the back shock will need to be varied according to terrain type and hardness.

There was an excellent article on the web I read recently on how to set suspension up for your riding conditions - I'll see if I can find it and provide a link.

[rodbox5]

Here's a pretty reasonable site for bike setup and checks - including suspension.

It's not the particular article I was looking for -which was excellent; but it's pretty good none the less:

Dirt Bike Advice - Set Up Your Bike from Spokes to Suspension and Setting the Sag - Dirt Rider Magazine

Getting the suspension set up correctly makes all the difference to your ride - so good luck fellas!

Good onya Rodbox5...maybe if we can generate enough interest for their gear we may all get what we should of in the first place.....lets all put in for a true OHC or make a class action against dreamrider to get what we paid for!!.My hand is up......anyone else?

Nice sentiment Archie - but by the time we even brought a case to hearing, you could have bought several new bikes for the money it will cost you.

Best thing is to report it to e-bay - which is what I did.

If enough people let them know about the rip-off, e-bay will take disciplinery action and suspend Dreamrider from the web-site.

The thing that really pisses me off, is that Dreamrider now supply the OHC engine with all the upgraded framework and extras - and I bet it's great to ride.

It is in fact everything we were promised - but not bloody well sent!!!

Has anyon managed to purchase a new version Hummer from Tomahawk and actually receive the OHC motor - if so, how does it run?
