3/18/2024 9:42pm You’re either a racer, or a YouTube whore. You can’t be both and as long as I’m on this planet I will not support a human being trying to be a champion athlete and an attention whore. In my day, you earned attention and adoration by being great and doing something amazing, not by being a media whore. The Deegans need to decide what they want to be. Hell, Haiden needs to decide what he wants to be instead of being part of this pathetic media machine called “The Deegans.” Win a championship and you will have my respect. Until...

10/30/2023 9:28pm I must have missed this post, the website looks like he's more track-oriented, but I just emailed Rob and will see what he says. His shop is right down the road from where I work.

10/30/2023 3:40pm I heard back from AHM and they don't work on Ohlins but recommended Noleen. I've heard of Noleen before but haven't found much about their suspension work. Do you have any experience with them? Just doing a search here and other online forums, I haven't found much as far as reviews or their suspension work that's recent or not about...

10/26/2023 10:16pm It's a 2014 KTM 450-SXF. I haven't heard of AHM, but I'll look into them.

10/26/2023 10:06pm I called them a couple of times and the response was something like "let me see if we can gets parts for them" and I never heard back. I talked to Kreft since it's a KTM, but they don't work on Ohlins. I'm sure shops will work on them to get the business, but the only shop that specifically said...

10/26/2023 9:50pm I want to set up my bike as a SCORE Baja prerunner and a desert hare and hound racer. Right now, my suspension on the small stuff is killing me, like sand ripples and hitting small 5 inch or so rocks. It works well on the really fast sections, like 5th gear pinned and hit a big unseen g-out or...
casper Started a new thread Whats the difference between GNCC and desert suspension re-valving?
10/26/2023 4:03pm I have Ohlins suspension on my bike and I want to re-valve the setup for desert racing. I'm in SoCal and it seems like most shops don't work on Ohlins or very rarely do. I was looking at sending my suspension to ProPilot on the East Coast for work. On their site the list re-valves for mx/enduro/gncc but not for...

casper Started a new thread Rabaconda the only way to change a mousse bib?
10/4/2023 12:53pm I have a Rabaconda to change out my bibs, but sometimes I don't have the time and would like to drop my wheels off at a shop. I called around and found out most shops don't change out bibs. When I got my Rabaconda, the guy who helped me learn how to use it worked a a shop that does...

9/12/2023 3:36pm Just wanted to update y'all and give a shout out to the Waterbury CT. police department. Just found out they recovered my son's YZ 125!. Two years later and we got 1 out of three back. I talked to the arresting officer and he told me the bike is in good shape and may even have some goodies on it that weren't there before. Hopefully the POS who stole it gives up his buddies and it leads to getting them all back but this is a great start. My only issue is I moved to Florida so I can't be...

8/23/2023 10:09am I have the Tusk one and the only issue I had was a seal in the bottle jack blew out a few years ago and I couldn't find a part number on it so I had to buy a new jack from Tusk. The lift is great for working on bikes and it's pretty stable. I only had my bike...

casper Added a reply to 2019 Kx450 trans issues: Fix and sell or fix and keep?
1/23/2023 2:35pm I went through the same situation with my '09 KX450 a couple of years ago. I fell and somehow knocked off the intake boot. As my bike slid, it sucked sand into the running motor and never ran again. My bike was worth about $4000 if it was running and it would have taken about $2k to fix. I ended...
casper Started a new thread Suspension shop for Ohlins RXF/TTX for desert setup
11/11/2022 11:14am I'm looking for shop recommendations for my 2014 KTM 450sxf that have Ohlins forks and shocks. The only changes I have done were stiffer springs. The stock valving and springs were great for track riding, but now I use it 100% for desert racing and the setup is way too stiff for me. Do I have to look for shops...

casper Added a reply to How are dirt bike tires mounted at the factory?
5/23/2022 12:40pm Interesting, that's the first time I've seen them used on a dirt bike tire. Do you know if those machines can mount a tire with a bib mousse?
casper Started a new thread How are dirt bike tires mounted at the factory?
5/23/2022 10:31am I know how they are mounted with spoons, but is there a special machine that does it at the factory? I can't imagine that every tire is hand mounted, but I haven't seen anything that suggests otherwise.

casper Added a reply to Cant get front rotor to stop dragging
1/11/2022 3:15pm This might be a long shot but your front axle might be bent. Had this happen on my team's race bike for Baja after a previous crash. I tried everything I could think of, remounting the wheel, checking all the brackets, etc. and it still dragged where you could maybe get a 1-2 full rotations of the wheel before it...
casper Added a reply to After 1 ride at a track on new bike
9/27/2021 8:03pm This happened to me on my 2009 KX450. I had the bike for about a month and was riding a track in the rain and tore a ligament in my ankle. I put my bike away without washing it and when I finally could wash it, the bike looked like this. I thought the bike was just stained from the...
casper Started a new thread Brake fluid milky and held no pressure
9/6/2021 5:02pm I just started getting my bike ready for the desert riding and I noticed my front and back brakes both have zero pressure in them. I took off the master cylinder and the brake fluid in both of them was a little milky white. Neither was low on fluid and I vacuumed bled both with fresh fluid and they were...
