AMetts Added a reply to 2024 KTM 350 SX-F Top End

I think most guys do their pistons way too early, notice every time people post about doing rebuilds or top ends at low intervals they say everything looked brand new, you are just wasting money and introducing more potential for failures. This was from my 2021 350 with 200 hours, 120 of them were B level GNCC and hare scramble...

Imagine if we could see Chase on the HRC bike that Jett and Hunter have perfected. Tell him he cant change anything except clickers lol.

Everyone keeps mentioning the low maintenance of these simple bikes but I can guarantee you if you are actually racing these things at a decent pace you are going to break way more shit than you are on a modern bike. My 2023 300XC has 100 hours on it and all I do is tires, air filters, gear oil and...

Yeah, much more realistic way to race cheap bikes. I raced a friends vintage bike at a vintage race and it was awesome and made me want to get into it but the vintage stuff is more expensive to race than modern bikes, parts are expensive and hard to find and next to impossible without the connections these older guys...
I haven't heard yet, the riders would be contracted to race all the rounds and the factory guys most likely have win bonuses. With a chunk of guys gone at ISDE it might be a good time to make some cash along with the GNCC purse payouts.
I understand that the sport is extremely hard to cover and I think Racer TV does a great job with the circumstances and people were perfectly fine with that since it was free on youtube (with ads they ran during breaks on the live stream not from youtube). But then to expect people to pay four times more than they...

Get rid of MXON. Take the top 20 MXGP and the top 20 in "SMX" points and race, alternate between a US and European venue each year and that's your first round of SMX, countries points are tallied up for your winner but the SMX points are also tallied up separately. MXGP guys treat it like a money race they...
MX Sports sold the broadcast rights to GNCC to Flo earlier this season and then these rule changes came the next round. I would be surprised if they got more than 500-1000 new subscriptions to Flo because of this, its 39.99 a month and everyone is pissed about it. Imagine being a sponsor of one of these GNCC teams that...

The mechanics usually do the math and give them a amount of laps left, way easier to think in terms of laps instead of time when you are racing.

9/22/2026 12:12pm
The riders weren't happy about mostly due to the fact that the guys that aren't leading the points have one less race to make up points, the riders are contracted for the whole GNCC series so I'm not sure if the teams would rather have them fulfill their obligations or not risk getting hurt at a pointless race. That being...

The newer Sidis with the glued on soles are amazing, lightest boots on the market and I have crazy sharp foot pegs and after 30 hours the soles are in great shape somehow.

They look awesome and probably ride great but if you are actually riding every weekend or a few times a month it would not be practical at all. Buying parts from RMATV and getting them in a few days is a huge aspect of the more common OEMs or going to a local dealer. What if you need a set...
Sacha might have made more money for himself with that performance in future money here in America than he will winning that MX2 championship. Bargaining power in his future US MX deal, he smoked the field he will be racing. Gear companies will throw more money at him because he can win and people over here already love him.

It would be so stressful if I was his parents or his team manager but as a fan that was damn electric to watch. He was making up multiple bike lengths on guys by just jumping down some of those hills further than them, granted that's sort of what ended up causing his crash but wow.
Solar and Batteries is a good option for running about everything except for air conditioning its just too much power draw, I have a small inverter generator and a couple large deep cycle batteries in our camper and our fridge runs on propane which is the best setup I don't know why they are moving all these camper fridges to...
