They all seem to do that. From what I can see watching on TV, I usually know what's going down before they do.
I would get it checked out. If I'm reading that xray correctly, without surgery, your arm is going to be slightly shorter than before the injury.
Is that an issue on the new engine? Yamaha changed that part for the previous generation in maybe 2007.
I'm not brand loyal, but do like Yamaha, especially now. When I was a kid, the 76 YZ80 was fast right out of the crate. It was the first bike I bought brand new, and with my own money. I got blessed. For some reason, my '76 was faster stock than my friend's ... more »
There's been a big gap between the front runners and the next group, this next group being well within the top 10. We're talking 45 seconds or more behind the winner. How in the world do you know where an ex-pro, who never stopped riding would finish? ... more »
Everything I've read about J-Law over the years (mostly here), is that he rides all the time, and that he still hauls the mail. I wouldn't bet against him qualifying. The question is where he would finish. Top 10?
I've been very happy with my Sun Joe, and they have great reviews.
I usually agree with you, but not on this one. Dungey had the speed this week, and once he got through the first few laps, he didn't fade. I expect his results will continue to improve for the next few events before leveling out. That should be enough ... more »
When I saw that after he settled in, Dungey stopped losing time in moto 1, and that he was mixing it up with the front runners, I expected him to come out swinging in moto 2. I'm going to predict that he wins the next round.
Great to have you out there! Forget reasonable expectations. Go for the win! Seriously!
From what I've read recently, spouge means the air/fuel mixture is too rich, not the oil/fuel ratio. Less oil makes the air/fuel mixture richer, not leaner.
No whoops in So Cal that I'm aware of. If I'm wrong, someone clue me in so I can go ride them!
My favorite front tire for my Yz125 was a Bridgestone M203. It's a soft/mid tire that has great traction everywhere. Unfortunately, they stopped making it for big bikes. Right now I'm quite happy with the Dunlop Mx33F on the front, and a Pirelli Mx32 ... more »
If I was a lapper, I'd hold my line. If he took me out needlessly, I'd remember it, and pay him back (if I could catch him). Most likely it was accidental. Chase had a lot of momentum and most likely just drifted wide. If not, it's unacceptable.
The M203 is still my favorite front tire for a Yz125. Absolutely awesome! I just can't find a new one anywhere.
With the economy the way it is, raising practice fees would cause a lot of people to practice less often. At $30, I ride whenever I can. Raise it, along with higher rent, gas, food prices, I'd consider staying home a bit more. For those with kids, an ... more »
On the site lap of the first moto, when I saw that Dungey had already found his smoothness, I thought, Uh-Oh! He's going to be in the run for this championship. Regardless, we can't marginalize the lead the Honda boys had in both motos. I predict this ... more »
They're missing an opportunity. There are a few times a year that I see gear in a race that I'd like to buy, but it's not available. Why not make few (hundred) extra and make them available immediately, instead of 1 just for the rider? I'd buy 2-3 race ... more »
If it is actually slipping out of gear, get that fixed ASAP!
On my Yz125 I was hitting false neutral, but it wasn't really a problem with the bike. I had new boots, and wasn't actually taking the pressure off the shift lever between shifts. On the Yamahas it seems there's a point between gears where the transmission ... more »
