I know it doesn't belong here in so many ways it's crazy, but in some messed up way it does. It's a Euro two stroke at

8hp, it's so slow it's crazy, it sux in all areas, from handling to brakes, the shifting is on the handle. But I just ... more »

I found one at Excel in the US, but at this point, seems the money got lost somewhere between Sweden and the US? I don't want to go to further details but as it look right now, seems I lost a couple of hundreds.

These old hubs Generation one ... more »

From the previous thread about her, I got so excited, and fell this urge to make a new thread. Sorry. I too think it would be a brilliant marketing manoever to sign Courtney on a KTM SX125. If there's any force in the sport favoring these primitive,

Seems there are diff opinions. According to the manual, its rek to "take it easy", but some suggest isn't the way to go, one instead is suggested to run it hard after the warm up? Thoughs? What about the oil ratio? One need to add more oil than the standard ... more »

The 450 class couldn't deliver by obvious reason as in the finale, but those who doubted RV needs to put on the silly hat. The 250 class was the best in YEARS. I'm pretty happy with the results. The four guys that went for it were all deserving the title ... more »

Would be nice to hear his views, feedback. Anyone heard or seen something?

He said it on the show? No one has dared to asked, but him spontaneously saying so must be a good indication? I was so pessimistic, though his knee would put a nail in the coffin. But he said it! "Preparing for Hangtown!!!" Damn, if it happens, it will ... more »

For me obviously "slower" then Hahn and Marvin but manage to win by protecting lines and some aggressiveness in the beginning. Hopefully this can open up for even some more excitement! 250 class (both series) totally delivers when RV has turned all RC

Maybe isolated and they are pretty damn common these days, I assume it's inevitable more stories popping up. But in this smokers vs bangers debate I got a bit annoyed hearing from my avid smoker buddy (TM144 owner), who spoke with two people the same

I bough some stuff via Ebay, but the deal went sour because the seller missed to check the fee out, or he looked at the wrong place? According to Canadian post office, shipping an YZ tank to Sweden, or even the US cost $ 300 (US) $ 350 to Sweden if you ... more »

Would be nice to hear his perspective in this 250F vs 250 smoker constant debate. If he put Bagget on 250 smoker, would he be more or less competetive than on his 250F (in the 250 class)? I figured we are all biased, even Payton who basically is forced ... more »

Found this at Thumpertalk (duh), should change the name to Smokertalk dammit. I watched the whole vid without fast forward, I obviously enjoyed it. Good rider, pretty fast for being B. There might be a connection two wich forum it was posted (Yamaha

"Hey everyone, i thought the rumours would have stopped after the team denied them, but i did not sign with RCH. I'm sorry to all of those who have been misinformed." From his FB page 10 min ago... Maybe we can put this behind us now.

It's about 38°F/4°C here, going to practice tomorrow and can't figure how much I should cover my radiators? People seems to do it, but none of them seems to have any idea how much is necessary. I figure there should be some simple equation one could ... more »

I'm about to buy a needle valve set because mine has started pissing, but having some issues to find a Yamaha dealer to spit out this part before the weekend. Seems Mikuni TMX 38 mm carb is used in more than the YZ125, should also be used in CRs CR125

I went back some pages here, didn't find any discussions and the trio didn't want to talk about during the broadcast (at least not during the main event on YouTube). Sorry if the issue has already been covered... Please fill me in?

Feel he was a bit dirty previously, and I was a bit extra observant because of this since I have a beef with that approach (good or bad). Seems he's really changed and is doing a good job passing people in a decent/respectable manner. Sure, this is not ... more »

Bought this beat YZ125 2006 for cheap money (in a Swedish perspective at least). First ride showed evidence of bike in distress. Levels and kickstarter flopping, brakes that would make BobbyM remember his old Maico days, and seals leaking, rear suspension

Just went through the Bar 2 Bar 2002 edition (again) and was amazed how they where struggling in the whoops with the tiddlers. Often the speed decreased the further they went, and really looked whoops was a mystery back then, kind of funny I haven't ... more »
