Yep I also rather replace them before they start slipping. Thanks guys
Whats the best way to run kyb? Kx250 forks fit?
Having worked on your clutches before, you need to downshift
Give the Showa stuff a try first. It's really good

hahaha. I learned to downshift a few years ago it's been going a lot better since then
Welp... Lets see what shes all about...
Finally! What'd you think?
They’re only lousy because they are Japanese industrial standard and not American Phillips. You actually need a jis screw driver for Japanese dirtbikes. That’s why everyone strips the screws on dirtbikes.
this is the one I bought to fix that issue.

Do you remember what bolts to buy? I’d like to do the same.

Is the TM Designs chain roller pretty loud? I've ridden with it twice and almost thought my disc or something was rubbing when I'm in the air
Just get the whole kit and wear ear plugs. One less thing to worry about.
Yes, so is the slider. People comment to me about the clatter (I've tuned it out by now), but the durability is worth it.
I did, and I do wear ear plugs. Just trying to pinpoint the noise and make sure it's not something else. Yes the durability is worth it.
Two questions.
I put an asv clutch lever on to replace my bent stocker. It seems like theres NO freeplay. Is that normal? Super snug right at initial pull.
Xtrig rocs, yes, rocs. I traded my fixed 23s for the 21/23 offset model so i could use the 21. So far so good. I liked it for the 20 minutes i rode today. Anyone know the actual steering stem nut size? Lol. I need to address that because i definitely dont have it tight enough.
I like the pegs in the lower position. Have bars in middle/back position. Thinking of trying middle/front.
Had SRS here in ohio respring and revalve my stock stuff. Felt much better. Set sag at 105. Couple times i felt the front end push. Forks are at the first line. I didnt get any eject button feelings today so thats a plus! I believe Travis has a solid set up for the kx stuff if youre in th market.
Pit Row
The problem I had was caused by my ASV lever, it lightly actuated the clutch even with the lever all the way out, making it slip. Put the stock lever back on, no problems (besides the crappy engagement point)
No issues with the stock clutch or clutch lever for me. Will probably bleed the fluid here soon just to keep it fresh
Changed the rotor to the 240 and lowered my brake pedal further than stock by removing a few threads. Vast improvement for me, even with the tusk rotor.
Finally starting to feel comfy on it. Put in a 30 min and a 20 min tonight at a local hot spot (only one open in Ohio and is probably one of the best training tracks in the state). Felt closer to my normal self. Off bike training has helped too logging miles on the ol brooks and dropping from 250 on jan 4 down to 223 today. Pics from Sunday at the same track. Daughter can be spotted in the second pic. Lol
Nice!
Got a killer batch of pics from the track owner last night from yesterday's ride.
The second picture is fantastic! That will be great memories down the road.
That's a big ass step up
Shes 3rd pretty licked. Not gonna lie, took me a minute Sunday to pull the tampon. Lol. Started to get a little comfier on it yesterday.
I’m also thinking of having the main body anodized, powder coated, or Ceracoated. Thinking black.
Any recommendations on that?
I created a thread in tech board but figured I’d add here as well in the event someone figured it out and doesn’t venture to that board often. 2019 kx450
Bike starts up very easy. Runs great when on the track. However, the bike will not idle without me giving her gas. The issue is with the bike hot or cold. I have the idle screw way up. What I can say for certain it isn’t:
Idle too low
Valves too tight
Spark plug
It’s been going on for over a year and I just rule things out when I have free time. Can anyone help lead me in a good direction?
I’m thinking a sensor maybe? Pure guess.
Thank in advance.
Same experience with the ASV both clutch and brake. Bought the memlon versions right away (about $300cad) and first ride I smelt clutch shortly into it and had brake drag. I was able to modify the front brake after some drilling and dremeling. Clutch is sitting on the shelf. I emailed ASV with no response.
I did run those levers on my KTM and loved them. Still have them on my 300.
Im running stock clutch lever now and Flo front brake lever. Shouldnt have to modify a damn lever for it to work. My buddy just had to do the same thing on his brand new 24 with new memlon levers.
