Thats a wrap for the season folks. Crank went out during the first practice, so we're done for the day. Stay tuned for the final episode!

Stank has exposed a lot of bottom end problems on the bike

I wouldn't say a reflection on Husky. More a reflection on the reliability of any motor work and tuning done to make the bike more competitive against the 250f's.

Wow are the bottom ends really this fragile? Seems like the tried and true YZ125 never gave him this many problems. Maybe he will go back to blue next year?

Between the transmission issues and crank issues it is not good. In my opinion a bike like that should be able to last for 4 or 5 nationals on the bottom end. It was already stated somewhere else, but guys used to run 125s all the time and do a top end every other race and have a bottom end last the full season of Pro Outdoors.

Nevermind that was on someone else's 250. It's a shame that husky didn't offer up a couple sets of spares to these guys. Racing on a budget doesn't always work out.

So if he is running a non OEM 153 kit in the top end,a non OEM crank and components in the bottom end, it still reflects the reliability of OEM Husky?
It is very unlikely his motors are being stripped and rebuilt every week based off of his traveling schedule and privateer budget, I am curious to know if they are or not.

I seem to remember them mentioning that they were stretching some parts passed their scheduled replacement period...

He rode the YZ125 for three races, then switched to the KTM.

You are insane. That 125 is getting the shit beat out of it. A 125 has no shelf life with a fast guy riding it.

Bro, everyone knows when you're a privateer on a budget and Wiseco offers you free pistons and crankshafts, you take it!

I never seemed to have a problem making it through the summer as a privateer on one motor... But that's none of my business...

Gotta hand it to these guys for running that bike into the ground. Repeatedly.

Gillen and Stank are True Grit. Have a beer boys, you earned it.

I can't believe this.
stankdog rides the cheapest bike and he has zero support.
This is sad.
I can't believe there isn't a couple broken in engines on the shelf ready to swap?
Everyone knows KTM's bottoms suffer sometimes! How in the hell does 'the people champ' not have an extra motor? he represents Hope in our unaffordable sport! Him not riding today is horrible blow to the day! This sucks.

I've watched all the videos and he states a few times his days were ended because of "water in the carb". That could be a cover for another problem, but if it's true what are hey doing to get that much water in the carb more than one time? I mean for $19 you can get an airbox cover and stop blasting the intake and carb. I'm not much of a mechanic but can't repeated water in the carb have an effect on top and bottom ends, if the bike is sucking water through the intake?

Idk just an observation that gets me when I watch the series which is an awesome series by the way.
