3/18/2015 5:26pm I dont post very often, just saw this. I am actually a medical sales rep for the titanium plates and screws that are used to fix us all back up. From my experience in the industry, and I actually was in 2 clavicle surgeries yesterday. And from learning from my Trauma doc. 1. he recommends always getting them plated if...

1/27/2012 7:17am I tried to search for this on here, but didnt find any success. I am new to the 450s and I am checking my valve clearances.

AZnewb450 Started a new thread 06 yz450 front brake???

How do i fix...

7/22/2011 2:58pm apologies, i knew it was somewhere close to 7th, 9th sounds about right. I think 7th came from stewart being number 7. haha. And yes a 35 foot eject is impressive. I was watching and said "HOLY @#%" But the way Chad landed was probably the safest possible outcome of the millions of outcomes. MotoGods were lookin out for him...

7/22/2011 1:13pm No doubt that shows courage. My hats off to him. Chad was very lucky he landed on the softer grassy muddy down slope and rolled into a semi soft mud pile. The moderator quoted in the huffington post to the extent he has been around the sport 40 years and never seen anybody do something like that. I would have...

7/12/2010 8:48pm is that inchs or mm's? because the stock specs are like .10 to .17 mm for intake and thats alot more than .003 in differences. Also if i do need to replace them. do i replace oem or do i get aftermarket? which would last longer?
