The chances of this sale going through are pretty low. The serious Suzuki guys are on the newer models so a fair chunk of the stuff you have wont fit on the newer models. And then the casual Suzuki guys (and there aren't all that many) like myself don't ... more »

I really love Pit Bits but is it too much to ask for more "Pit pics"? It would be cool to see pictures of the EMX and WMX bikes and setups too!

Hi upyar. Keep the clutch exactly the same as stock when removing the judder springs, and re assemble as shown in the exploded diagram. You will experience less drag and a more precise engagement with the judder springs removed. Cheers

Needs more pits less track

I have been following/watching SX since the early 80’s and it seems to me that each year the tracks have become smoother and have started to look like roads. What about ripping the tracks to make them deeper? Yes it would cause more ruts but I believe it would also slow them down. Just my...more

Added reply in a thread How do you clean lime of the bike? 2/6/2019 6:53 AM

For Aluminium, vapour and/or fine media blasting(such as glass bead blasting) to even the finish and remove stains. Then polish to the desired finish.

As a guess I'd say that it could be in relation to what fuel is required, so 98 octane in this case. A squish measurement would help to confirm this. But that stamp is 100% not from the OEM. Likely done by a tuner.

Over the winter months I've seen places like Apex and Fatcats become full to the point they have to turn people away. Apex posted they were full this Sunday gone. With so few of the available tracks being ride able this time of year, the ones that do ... more »

I'd 100% take that front pipe off your hands but I think postage to the UK would be a killer!

Agreed. Stop crushing kids dreams of winning a title at Loretta’s before they even go through puberty.

Couldn't agree more. Seems there should be some sort of rule limiting modifications to the bikes especially in the amateur ranks. Suspension tuning not replacement, Exhaust and maybe some ignition mods. Would level the field and save everyone money. Not to mention it would...more

Maybe all Loretta Lynn classes should be limited to bolt on modifications only. That way there would not be a unfair advantage to the riders receiving factory support since that's the event all of big sponsors are gathered at looking to sign their next rider. Unfortunately...more

I grew up racing against Rusty Holland, Mike Metzger, Casey johnson, and Brian Deegan on Mini's in the early 90's. I had one bike, my parents did everything they could, it was a new bike, but all stock, and i mean even stock bars until i bent them. I remember lining up next...more

Just watched it. Do you have the same issue when you actually ride it? Try spinning the wheel constantly by hand then shift into gears with the other.
