carl-h Added a reply to is anyone a better rider on a 450?
8/15/2017 2:46pm I went from a 250 two stroke to a 450. Loved it at first, then it began to feel heavy. I always felt like the bike was riding me rather than the other way round. I barely ever opened it up properly. Was nice to be able to leave it in third but it got boring. Ended up selling it...

carl-h Added a reply to De-tune or make power linerar?
1/12/2017 12:39am I'm in a similar position but on a '13 Kx450f. Mine has a vortex ignition fitted and despite having 10 maps, there's only really about 3 that are usable as the rest are programmed for high compression or launch only or something. My throttle seems strange as well. I've adjusted the tension so it's just slack enough not to stick...
carl-h Added a reply to Where did I screw up? Brake Bleeding Help Needed
1/11/2017 1:29am It'll come back eventually. I've been in the same situation when replacing a brake line. I've tried pumping it through, pulling it with a vaccum bleeder, pushing with a syringe. Eventually I tied the lever to the bar for the front or to the stand for the back and came back a day later and it was much easier. The...
carl-h Added a reply to Chest protector + kidney belt combo?
1/2/2017 11:07am I have the Leatt back/chest protector. It's perfect with a neck brace. It slots in front and back and then some little rubber straps hook over the neck brace to keep it in place. Works really well. I'm after a kidney belt though as it offers no protection lower down. Today I fell off and was hit by another bike...
carl-h Added a reply to Best cold weather gloves?
1/2/2017 11:03am Leatt do some different gloves that work well in the cold. They have a windbreaker one which I imagine is brilliant, I have the next one down warmth wise with the protection over the fingers and knuckles. Although not designed as a cold weather globe they seem to be working well for me on my last 2 rides. Working really...
carl-h Added a reply to Irritating
12/24/2016 7:29am I'm guilty of leaving my bike running while I gear up. 3 or 4 mins usually then I'll knock it off unless I'm straight out on it. I hate the way some people park. I jetwash at the track so like to have a bit of room so I don't soak everyone. I always park with enough room to do...

carl-h Added a reply to Anyone tried one of these ?
12/18/2016 2:53pm I've only ever used a solid stand and it's all I will use. All my mates struggle at the track with lift stands and the bike sliding off them. They work in the garage but not on muddy uneven paddocks in my opinion. I only use mine when I get the bike out the van to set fork pressures and...
carl-h Added a reply to 100% goggles Question
11/7/2016 1:25am I love mine! Can't say how good it is in a crash but it fits well, the lining pops in and out nice and easy. If you get hot this is the helmet for you. Full of vents. I couldn't stand to wear a helmet for a minute longer than I needed in the past, I could wear this 10...
carl-h Added a reply to 100% goggles Question
11/6/2016 1:35pm I've got a pair I keep as a spare. They're okay but I used to always get dirt in and found they always needed tightening up. Not convinced of how safe the lenses are myself. Gone for Zite in the end. Not sure if they're in the US but I'm in the UK and we have a supplier. Love them...
carl-h Added a reply to Advice needed ! Wide fitting MX Boot ?
10/30/2016 3:55am Gaerne SG12. I really struggled in sidis width wise. I was in agony all day in them tbh. The gaernes are amazing and feel much much wider!
carl-h Added a reply to Brake pad replacement?
10/27/2016 1:56pm Great suggestions so far on the front brake. Back brake may be adjusted too high so your not getting much feeling on it and locking it up? Try lowering it a little and see if that helps. I set mine so I'm comfortable braking stood up but to brake sat down I need my toe on the brake and my...

carl-h Added a reply to Oil Leak on a 2014 YZ250F
9/6/2016 12:49pm It may just need a new washer for the drain bolt or it's not quite right enough. No reason to reject the bike yet. Check/top it up before riding and it will be fine I thought my new bike had a leak the other day. Oil u Dee it in the van when I got to the track. It was...
carl-h Added a reply to Troy Lee SE4 vs Bell Moto 9 Flex Carbon
8/25/2016 8:45am I haven't tried both on yet but I think I will go for a Leatt over the 6D. The main reason being that the Leatt is a really small shell yet the 6D is huge. The smaller the shell the less rotational 'torque' there is only my head. Plus every bit of Leatt gear I have still looks brand new...

carl-h Added a reply to Troy Lee SE4 vs Bell Moto 9 Flex Carbon
8/24/2016 8:33am Does anyone have any opinions on the Leatt GPX helmets? I'm hoping to try one on Friday and if they fit I'll have one. Not sure if I'm going to go for the carbon or not yet. I'm not so keen on the colours on the carbon but may feel different in the flesh
