alien Added a reply to Ktm 150sx exhaust setups

11/2/2020 9:42am
We have nine months on the 2020 ktm 150sx and have learned a lot about this bike. I know this is a pipe and silencer thread so I will stay on subject. The stock pipe is good enough for all but those willing to trade all round power for unlimited top overrev. The PC shorty is a must have for...

Our dealers have not had any 2020 yz125's for months now. That is a fair price OTD.

Pushing 60 years of age I remember Sue Fish being the first woman to QUALIFY (fast forty) for a national back in the '70's. Not to take anything away from Jordan , she is a very fast racer at the top level . She did get to race a national moto due to no shows in the second moto but...

I don't know about the riders but it is much more enjoyable for the spectators. I was at the WW ranch national in FL. last year and it was too hot to stand in the sun all day. I said I would not go back if it was that hot again. Back in the '70's we had the fall Trans...

I would like to comment on LL 100 AV gas. First it is not as good as VP t 2 or c12 for a two stroke. If money were no object VP MRX02 would be my fuel of choice but I cannot afford 30.00 a gallon gas for my YZ125. Back to LL 100 AV gas, as many have correctly...
I had the same problem with a yz125 shorty silencer not lining up. I would have had to bend it in a vise to get the mounting tab to bolt up. I called and got a guy in the back at FMF and explained the situation and he seemed to suggest I did not know what I was doing. I...

alien Added a reply to Built Yz125 vs built Ktm 125

7/20/2020 1:09pm
I'm 200 lb. and my 2018 yz125 pulls hole shots over ktm 150sx and 125sx all the time. At the A class level where just about every racer is running the motor at the limit the extra power may come into play. With vet riders and C class riders the user friendly nature of the Yamaha might result in quicker...

Before you have the cylinder ported try machining the head to the correct squish and add a HGS pipe . I did these mods to my 2018 yz125 on a recommendation and felt the bike was good enough and decided not to have it ported or go big bore 144. The head work cleans up the bottom end and the...

5/24/2020 10:38am
I was at at the silver dollar race in Georgia on 5-17 and the turn out was huge. I looked at the results on the victory sports site and noticed that 2/3 of the entries were out of state riders. I love these large races but wondered if it will continue when more local tracks open up across the country...

alien Added a reply to Some Rules Changes in MX

4/30/2020 8:11am
Motocross is going PC , I like this sport less and less with every new rule change . Bob Hannah wouldn't last one week in this new environment. Going 250 t vs. 250 f in the lites class would just show the AMA and Honda how wrong they were forcing two strokes out of the sport and killing it in...

Daytona Sx 1999 , I was getting lapped by Ezra Lusk in the 250 heat race and thought I would stay close to him down the straight and maybe get to see myself on TV. As soon as I pulled back in behind him I caught a rock to the upper lip and started bleeding like a stuck pig. It...

I'm A 200 lb. Vet A rider and we have a 2020 150sx that is setup with a 45 rear spring but run the forks at 108 psi. I can only get the KYB feel out of the forks by running a super low air setting. Comp. is 9 clicks out reb. is 12 clicks out. Even at 108 psi...

Durham town is open again and I hear that scrubbin dirt is going to open this weekend. I have been off work since April 1st and have ridden at least twice a week at a private track with a couple of racing buddies. In Georgia very few hospital beds are occupied with Wuhan virus patients, plenty of capacity if you...

alien Added a reply to Thinking about selling my 350 for a 125 or 150

3/9/2020 7:52am
I was thinking of giving up dirt bikes after forty some years of racing mx . I have tendonitis and other joint related problems with my wrist which are aggravated by the torque,weight and acceleration of a 450. I noticed the light weight and lack of torque of the 125 don't seem to bother my wrist at all. There is...

Tim Eggers are you still riding ? The last time I saw you was at a regional qual. at Bremen around 2005 I think.

I dislocated my hip six or seven years ago while racing. I was rushed to the ER and it was put back in place within an hour. I had no chips or fracture on the ball ,that makes a big difference in the recovery period and if there will be complications later. I was sent home that day in some...
