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...

I lived on Long Island in East Setauket until 2006. Growing up, I pretty much rode all the time in the LILCO power lines and couple of sand pits near my house. Most of that riding area has been closed off for a while now but it looks like there are still some whoops. For a while, there was one...

Check the wires coming off the voltage regulator near the frame. This is my 2014 KTM 450 non FE with ~150 hours on it. It took me a while to find and was intermittent, but when the white wire grounded to the frame, the bike was dead. You can see the green wire was starting to wear too. You need...

I watched that yesterday and got a sad vibe like he put all this effort into creating that place and now he is off to some new venture.

I no longer have a role at Engine Ice. After more than 20 years, it is time to move on and leave Engine Ice to its new caretakers. I am proud of what I and my family created and accomplished. I will miss some of the day to day operations and talking to customers. I look forward to seeing what the future brings myself and my family, as well as Engine Ice. I will always be the Founder of Engine Ice and I will always be Engine Ice Dave. My wife and I can now move on to other things...

casper Started a new thread 2021 Husqvarna TE 150 exhaust pipe split open

3/10/2021 12:56pm
My girlfriend just got this bike and I've seen 2 stroke pipes get beat up, but I've never seen a pipe split open like this. This was just a tip over and landed on a rock. I wonder if Husqvarna used a thinner wall exhaust pipe to save weight? The TE 300 exhaust pipe has ribbing in it to...

casper Started a new thread Plug read for 2021 Husqvarna TE 150i

3/10/2021 8:38am
This is the first spark plug change on my wife's 2021 TE 150i. It's been a while since I owned a 2 stroke, but the plug looks pretty dark to me. Not sure if this was caused by engine break-in, or if the TPI and oil injection runs rich. The bike has 165 miles of desert riding on it. Are...

casper Started a new thread When are the electric MX bikes coming?

2/15/2021 1:50pm
In 2019 Honda and I think Yamaha had electric prototypes, but after Alta went under, it seems like the interest has faded. I'm in the market for a new MX bike and I really want an electric bike for my next ride. Does anyone have any insight as to when a mass-market MX bike will be released?

I TOTALLY agree with this that electric racing will be boring. Can you imagine the start of a moto, waiting for the gate to drop, and it's completely quiet? Then they take off and it sounds like an RC car race...
I almost bought an Alta right when they were going out of business so I was wondering how have the bikes been holding up? Are there any issues with getting parts for the electric motor and such? Is the run time dropping on the battery at all? If you sold your Alta, how was the re-sale on it?

casper Started a new thread New Racetech fork springs making grinding noise.

8/14/2020 2:49am
I just rebuilt the forks on my 2013 KTM 250 sx-f with new WP seals and bushings and new Racetech fork springs. After putting the forks together and mounting them on the bike, there was a grinding noise coming from the forks. I took one off(they both sound like this) and compressed it by hand and this is what it...

How long did it take for the sound to go away? If I sent my forks to a tuner and got them back sounding like this, I would have thought they screwed up. I still can't believe Racetech sells the springs like this, they must get complaints about this.

casper Started a new thread Lighter shock spring shorter. Is this normal?

7/26/2020 6:18pm
I just bought a lighter shock spring for my girlfriend's dirt bike I'm going from a 5.4 to a 4.6 spring. The new lighter spring is about 7 mm shorter. Is this normal?
