Kris Foster shows up occasionally to some of our local races. He's fast and under all the right conditions is a top 10 guy on the Pro line. Conditioning and poor mistakes like running out of fuel have kept him from getting any better in results. Likely ... more »

I don't endorse a high rep gym protocol. And I wouldn't because like you said, it's a waste of time. Nor do I prescribe a 4x a week gym routine either. I agree with your original statement, but instead of just 1 day a week I would do 2. For most, it's ... more »

Maybe at some higher elite level that would be true, but with a relatively new beginner, virtually any kind of strength training is going to be beneficial on the bike. Saying it's a waste of time, not even close to being accurate...

Front squats are awesome as they put more emphasis on your quads, back squats put more emphasis on your glutes. It is very difficult it gain both strength/size AND increase aerobic endurance... Aerobic endurance can be built fairly quickly (depending ... more »

Wut? Weights for sure will increase both muscle strength and muscular endurance... Aerobic endurance too, just to a lesser degree...

Buddy on TT has a RMX450 with 1000hrs on it...

I got stuck on a hillclimb in a CC once... Single line all the way up... A guy came up on me and starts revving his bike telling me to move, I'm costing him the race blah blah blah... Eventually I turned around and told him to either shut his bike off ... more »

Possibly more qualified then a civil engineer...

Kids heal considerably faster then adults. That being said, you are DAD, and generally what you feel is best is going to be the best outcome. A doctor will offer you guidelines, not absolutes so do what you feel is responsible and right. Ultimately listening ... more »

Took me nearly 60hrs to learn how to ride a 350 correctly... My recommendation is to work with a suspension guy (or someone knowledgeable) that can help you with setting up the chassis/suspension... I find setting the 350 up more like a 250f is more ... more »

Lol, well good thing I'm not selling it to you... I am not a Vital MX regular, but I am a regular over a ThumperTalk. I have most everything documented there. In 2017 I bought the bike new, raced it to a couple Vet Championships in Canada and put 300hrs ... more »

No tooling marks on anything

Nope, have never even checked valves

No, bike still feels super tight... At the moment I don't have a bike but was asked to guide a couple guys from out of town around my riding areas. I bolted on my suspension (the bike has been my wife's the last 2yrs) and spent 3hrs on the bike yesterday.

700hrs on a 16 KTM 350xcf... Who would want to buy it?

Light flywheel make for a more that ramps up extremely fast and hit hard... Poor suspension combined with terrible frame geometry...The bike was just terrible all around as it was built "trying" to compete against 450s. The EXCs were quite different ... more »

What color did you powdercoat the frame?

03 KTM 250SX...most unsafe bind I've ever owned and ridden...Spent more time on the ground and hurt then actually riding.
