I would tear it down. Something about them collapsing on the face of a jump seems pretty terrifying.

I’m just looking for a barebones extended express/econoline. Seems like the market is changing so may be able to snag up a good deal in the coming months.

Even for casual trail riding I’d rather send someone out on a KX100 than a trail bike. It’s pretty easy to hurt yourself once you start pushing a TTR too hard.

Stick it to ‘em and catch a live stream from someone in Venezuela on YouTube.

Maybe one day when I’m rich I can live in a van down by the river!

Don’t tell the guys in moto related that you’re switching to Yamaha.

If any of you boycotters want to get rid of your old Racer-X collections let me know!

First national since Muddy creek went away, pumped!

He’s had a pretty nice private facility in Florida for a couple years now.

So I decided to inspect the springs, here’s the Pro-X spring next to a spring from my last kit (DP clutches, always had good luck). Slightly shorter than the DP spring. Swapped the DP springs in and made a tiny bit of difference, but I went ahead and ... more »

Pressed the piston in and got a bubble or two at the master cylinder. Cycled some fluid through reverse bleeding, no luck.

That was my next move to try, I seem to remember having to do that 2-3 years ago after the bike sat for a while and had a similar feeling at the lever.

If you could get it for $500 or below I’d be all in, if you’re looking for a project. I’d imagine finding an aluminum frame YZ on eBay is fairly easy and cheap, along with any other parts you could want. The YZ has to be the cheapest and easier to restore ... more »

Great looking RM!

Do you remember if your Hinson setup had a machined mark anywhere on the pressure plate or anything in the manual about orientation. I swear I never paid attention to anything like all the other times I’ve swapped plates.
