5/21/2013 3:24pm Hello guys, I have recently gotten my bike fully rebuilt after the piston blew and will be a little rusty when I get back on the track. I want some advanced cornering tips from you guys as I believe this is where seconds are burned off... I already know basics (weight outside of peg, inside leg out) I just want...

5/20/2013 4:18pm Thanks dude, I will try to brake later on, after the braking bumps! Also about the front brake, I use it like a madman, I slide all over the place though however many people praise me on using the front brake as much, if not more than the back!

5/20/2013 2:13pm Yes, it's all extremely helpful, and I was wondering guys, do you have any pointers to improve my speed or technique all round and not just in corners to give me just that little bit more of an edge over competitors...

5/20/2013 10:03am Hey man, yeah, that's logical, I'll pick two corners to work on on Saturday when I practice then the following Saturday pick another two! Really good advice yet again, I need to take the baby steps rather than just trying to rail around every corner first time! Thanks man!

5/20/2013 9:52am I'm actually thrilled at how much advice I have been given, the community is just great! So entering the corner faster without fear could potentially make the difference, as there's always that little voice in my head saying ''too fast'' or ''slow down'', but if I come into the corner just that little bit faster, look ahead and lean that...

5/19/2013 5:24pm Dude, this is actually so helpful... I kind of look at cornering in a different way after that. I know the basics I just need to get round there as fast as I see fit. Myke you also helped me, people tend to believe the inside is always the fastest, as I do sometimes. The amount of time you see...

5/19/2013 4:18pm Hey guys, thanks again, so far I have pretty much this. -Standing up in the neutral position when entering the turn. -Use both brakes when braking for the turn. -Sit down, and bring inside leg out. -Weight outside of the foot peg and keep both elbows up. -Lean bike over into the turn. -Look ahead for exit. -Find smooth line...

5/19/2013 3:51pm Hey Kent, some great advice there! I have gathered to look on further down the track for the next line I'm going to take rather than concentrating too much on the current corner and to get on the gas a lot sooner... Correct? I will take some time to just roll the track the next time I go also, and...

4/23/2013 11:33am Hey guys, me again, not a very frequent poster or topic starter, but I'm a little baffled at the moment. So I was riding the bike in what I consider a pretty deep sand track, after an hour or two of riding I heard an unusual crackling noise and the bike cut out. I went to kick the bike up...

4/22/2013 1:26pm Well basically guys, the piston blew and shrapnel has scraped into the bottom end from what I can gather and after you guys have helped me I've decided to tell him to go along with the fix, thanks for the great help and community here!

4/22/2013 11:32am Hey 500guy, I know but I honestly couldn't really go into much more depth, my dad knows a whole lot more about the situation. If what you're telling me is correct, which I hope it is, then great!

4/7/2013 7:34pm Hello guys, me again, I look at my bike and it looks absolutely sweet... apart from the pipe. I ride almost twice a week and this has caused my exhaust to rust and have some dirt on it which is stuck to it solidly. I am here to ask you guys the best product and how to apply it to...

4/7/2013 4:39pm I've never heard of this CLR stuff, this will be what I will order along with some Scotch Brite and WD40 for after just in case I've ran out. Thanks reded and madmaxperformance

4/7/2013 4:28pm I have tried the pressure washer and it doesn't remove the hard old dirt stuck on the pipe, am yet to try it with some Scotch Brite, I'll have a look around my shed for some of it and hopefully do that, also I may try the Silkolene all in one! Thanks guys, keep posting me suggestions (maybe some household...
