Chatter / Occasional 503 Errors
« Last post by Steve H on May 13, 2026, 09:04:35 AM »
Not sure why this is happening, nothing obvious in the logs but will continue to investigate. If you get the error just refresh (Ctrl F5) and it seems to be ok

Thanks Martin, I’ve also temporarily put the wheels I’ve done for the RS tracker on there too, better brand new Bridgestone tyres on, plus stainless steel spokes. I’ll get a couple more Bridgestones on the original wheels then pop them back on once I start building the tracker up. They’ve made a huge difference to the feel of the handling, much more confidence in them👍
Cheers, Michael

Absolutely no need to apologise Bill, there was no rush whatsoever. Many thanks for posting it up for me.
Cheers… Michael 👍

Apologies to Michael for the tardy posting of his image of the rebuilt RS250 engine in an original chassis for running in purposes.

Best, Bill

Yes, I’m going to put a glacier bush on the pivot spindle on the tracker when I’m building that up. Hopefully that’ll eliminate 90% of the sloppiness 🤞
I’ve packed the one I’m using now with grease which seems to have helped slightly.
The triumph lever didn’t have any where near enough offset, plus it would have definitely been to long.
I’m on the lookout for a standard RS gear lever for the tracker if your mate has one he’d like to part with for some folding cash 🤞😉
Cheers, Michael
Ps… have good ride 👍

Yes those gear linkages do develop a load of slop. I had to get my mechanic friend to strip and rebuild mine from a box full of used ones. I've just checked mine again as it's been a good few years since he did the work and yes they're quite sloppy again.I agree that a direct lever of the correct length would work better and yes the standard one is very short.
Something for me to ponder on too. The actual gear change is very positive once you remove the slop.
Weather here today is 100% better than the forecast so I hope you can get out tomorrow.

Yes, you can’t beat having a couple of mates help you out. Not only is any problem halved but also great to have a bit of a laugh along the way 👍😁

The neutral switch had “dislodged” upon reassembly and got stuck in the gear selector apparently 🤷???
That’s why I took it out yesterday afternoon to test ride it in the Yorkshire dales, plenty of gear changes required on some of them roads. It preformed without incident after 65miles🤞👍
I’m hopefully getting out tomorrow morning for another spin on it if the weather holds out🤞
The rose joint linkage on it is well past it’s best and extremely sloppy, which can’t be helping, plus I personally find the gear leave just a tad to short. I’m going to take the lever off my triumph speed twin and try that tomorrow, it’ll make it a direct lever change then, no sloppy linkage 🤞
Watch this space 😁
Cheers, Michael
