aees Added a reply to Riding after Traumatic Brain Injury
3/26/2017 2:27pm ask them to do a NFL test from spinal fluid. That will say in black and white how recovered you are. normal value is around 300 or so, boxer that gets knocked out it shot up to 4000. heavy concussion similar if you pass out for a second. takes 9 months to recover. after 18 weeks you are at 5-600...

aees Added a reply to Going from a 2006 CRF490 to a 2017 KTM SXF 450…First Impressions
3/23/2017 4:53am Set clickers back to stock. Get the right rear spring for your weight, set it to ~107mm sag, (make sure there is preload on the spring and reasonable static). Then adjust air pressure until you have a balanced bike and maybe 10-15mm left on fork travel. Then start with clickers. Not before.
aees Added a reply to When did KTMs become so popular/good?
3/22/2017 4:39am It started with the 2012 EXC lite with the new lighter engine, and then 2013 SXF 450/350. Of course this was due to Roger Decoster and Ryan Dungey demanding a new 450. That 2013 350/450 SXF was a game changer and that is when sales started to take off. Otherwise KTM would by now not even have had a 450...

aees Added a reply to "Daytona wasn't a passing track"
3/13/2017 7:29am Not sure it fits here, but Ohlins is Swedish and are huge in general within the racing industry. They do about 100 million USD per year in suspension for racing industry where MX/Enduro is one part. They started the company with that 30-40 years ago. So their new 2017 Flow shock, and fork is dynamite. They do however very little...

aees Added a reply to anyone still wear kidney belts?
3/11/2017 3:11am kidneybelt is not for kidneys anymore, it is for discs in back. i have a fractured disc and even though i have killer core strength i need the belt to stiffen up the core package. makes a huge difference
aees Added a reply to Bike prep between motos after a mudder
3/8/2017 2:56am The rules from 2015 state: Riders can use 2 motorcycles during the weekend which have been controlled at technical verification. The final choice of the motorcycle to be used in a race must be made 10 minutes before the start. Riders cannot change motorcycles during a Race.

aees Added a reply to Bike prep between motos after a mudder
3/7/2017 3:59am Bike needs to get shipped to Argentina on sunday evening or monday, so no time to do much. They replace parts that wear out as you mention (chain, brake pads, rear sprocket, clutch package). Some probably will replace the full engine (rotate on the 2-5 engines they have ready). Suspension gets teared down and they change oil and seals. Suspension...
aees Added a reply to Shimming the KTM Swingarm
2/23/2017 7:08pm Can someone write what shim and placement of it, that is valid for SXF 450 2017? See attached image. Both sides needed to shim?
aees Added a reply to Arm pump, need help!
2/22/2017 6:18am In my experience, things causing arm pump: 1. Poor cardio physics 2. Handlebar to much forward/up 3. Holding on to tightly 4. To stiff suspension 5. Other medical condition Make sure you use all your suspension travel (+-10-15mm on fork) and that you have your handlebar in reasonably neutral position (for example as an extension of fork angle or slightly...
aees Added a reply to Technique to stop back end kicking on jump faces?
2/21/2017 10:36am Not squeezing with legs, to fast rebound, to soft rear spring, to soft low speed comp in combination with to fast rebound. To slow rebound in rear and you will loose front end traction. So, stiffer low speedvcompression can allow you to run faster rebound. When rear runs out of compression stroke, it wants to use rebound to return to...

2/21/2017 10:14am There is difference in 16fe, 17 and 17fe on the AER setup and Shock, that makes a difference. If revalve/rebuild anyway then it does not matter
aees Added a reply to HELP PLEASE - KTM Air Fork Oil Removal
2/20/2017 12:48pm AER measure it in cc. Otherwise you have no idea on how much you shall put in after service.
aees Added a reply to Cooper talks about stuff!
2/7/2017 12:55am Of course they do, BUT, new bike or year, new team, new suspension all changes that. You heard Tomac, he did not touch his bike or setup from MEC last year since they thought it was perfect. Went into A1, not competitive. No way to know that unless you race or practice with people that are as fast as you...
aees Added a reply to Cooper talks about stuff!
2/7/2017 12:53am It is because the 80,90, part of 2000 riders would be considered standing still when todays guys blow by them. The bikes are so much better (lighter, balanced) today, and so are everything around them. That makes them more sensitive to bike setup.
