So sexy, we need vids of you riding it.
As soon as the winter is over I will fix some vids. Now its a mix of snow and mud on the tracks around here so its pretty worthless...

Denn700, how did the Scalvini pipe perform? Those suckers are SO trick looking
It is a good pipe. It feels a lot like the PC pipe. I havent tried the silencer because you have to have the stock silencer brackets to put it on and my bike came with the fmf gnarly on it . Right now my favorite pipe is the fmf factory fatty with the titanium 2 silencer. It is good with the PC silencer but didn't feel like it had as much bottom. My next thing is the dicks carburetor mod but that will be a while because I am getting my TM 300mx dialed in. Does anyone know of a company that sells parts for a TM like a linkage? So far all I have is a PC pipe. I can't even find a silencer for it.

So Denn, you have a 2012 250 sx aswell?
Have you tried the factory fatty combined with the powercore2 silencer?
Im afraid that the titanium2 will be to loud for the soundtests at the races...

Denn!

A guy here in sweden got in contact with Koubalink. http://www.koubalink.com

They hooked him up with a lowered link from a Crf i think.

Try mailing them and asking. Should be able to answer your questions.

How is the Tm 300 treating you? I have an 2010 300mx.

I had to replace the head with a Vhm head to prevent it from detonation.

Otherwise its been good. How is the Scalvini on the Tm;s?

Yes I do have a 12 250sx. I have not tried the powercore. As a matter a fact it was the fmf shorty nit the titanium 2 I tried.
Peirre, I just got the TM last week and my suspension guy John Mitchell said I needed softer springs for my weight and I went ahead and sent it off so I didn't have to take it apart again. I can't wait to ride it though.

Cool! The shorty and titanium2 gives the same performance as far as I know.
Have you done something to your suspesion?
I will get the pc2 silencer because we have a few sandtracks around here so its nice to get a little more on top.

Bought a Rekluse core EXP 2.0 clutch yesterday. Didnt have any good foto of it so I took one from rekluse homepage.
I will mount and try it under the week along with som other stuff I will get this week Smile [/img]

So I guess you havent tried the new Rekluse core exp 2.0...? You can set it up so it works like a anti-stall clutch, you can ride the bike exactly like your used to, with the same clutch pull.
Look at the tests Motocross action, dirtrider and Transworld has done, maybe you know something they dont? Wink
I have only heard good things about the core EXP and figured that I wanted to try one Smile
This bike is set up for mx only and I guess you believe this clutch workes like the early Rekluse models for enduro.

I thought about it but I think I leave it at 250 cc. If I sieze it so maybe I buy the 300-kit but not otherwise.

Obviously the economy is going good in Sweden.... maybe I should look for a job there so I can build a sweet ride like that!!! I am jealous as this is exactly the bike I want to build myself... I will keep saving and dreaming!!!

Keep the updates coming I will probably start a similar project in April if my Tax return comes back soon!

The Core EXP clutch was the best mod I did to my 09 KX450F, loved that setup!

So it will be fully automatic? I guess the clutch will be of no use? Amazing.

Intresting! Maybe you can shortshift it more and ride on a higher gear so you last longer before fading?
