Nope you're not going crazy. Same guy, he just created a new account for this topic, not the sharpest tool in the shed it seems

Torque numbers are really only important for load bearing bolts, snug her up with a wrench and youll be fine

Thanks dude and lovely choice of bike, have fun with her when you get it

Depends on your year but had a local guy come up with this design for me which I think is pretty bitchin

Man I sometimes (stupidly) forget how much of a freak Ricky was on a bike, even right until his last full and half season the guy was just destroying everybody. Stewart sometimes had him covered indoors but nobody was as good outdoors as Ricky. I've ... more »

Agree on this point. Going by the rules, Kenny and everyone else did nothing wrong but when I was watching the race I thought that was supet sketchy havin guys triple on to that table with the downed rider right after it. People were ready to lynch the ... more »

350 all day long. Perfect bike for what youre looking, doesnt have to be new either. They have very long service intervals and the 350 is a perfect balance of 250 and 450. Any bike will be a good choice but I think a 350 is the do-it-all bike

Nice riding dude, how come you went from 450 to 250? For some reason I can't make the 250 work for me, front end always feels super tucky and slidey

Yea fair point for consumer bikes i suppose it would be cool to see it on a factory bike though

I assume it never took off back in the day because it was ineffective or unreliable but with todays technology with sensors etc would it have more potential?

I think the 350 is a very under-utilised bike for both indoors and outdoors. I know people always say it has 100cc less but 250s run times very close to 450s a lot of the time so I think the 350 would be a great option for a lot of riders to find that ... more »

While the track does look relatively simple I think it will make for some great racing. Looks like an insanely different track to last years so it'll be interesting to see how it races

Ah good point, am I right in saying though that GP frames can be complete one-offs to suit each rider if needs be?

I think engine mods are pretty much unrestricted for both AMA and GP but in terms of comparing works and production bikes from back then to now, I reckon the gap has narrowed a lot more as there would be a lot more quality aftermarket options now compared ... more »

As far as I remember he had to use a stock frame and swingarm as per AMA rules, no exceptions. GP scene they can run custom anything I believe but rules in AMA are stricter which is what made his feat so much more impressive.

Just to make sure, when people say they torque the bolts, i hope you actually mean torquing the nuts on the back side of the sprocket? Any time i replace a sprocket i replace with a new nut and bolts set as the new nuts come with loctite on them. If ... more »

I don't have any advice on what to do but why would the bike sit idle on a stand for 5 minutes? Surely any bikes is going to get too hot idling away with no cool air running through it
