This bike seems to really like Maxima pro plus 10w40. I've been pushing my oil 8+ hours and it looks great coming out every time.

Got a killer batch of pics from the track owner last night from yesterday's ride.

Brought her home the other day and should have the graphics by Friday. I might add a slip on to get rid of the potato cannon and otherwise run it as is.

If you are staying with oem you can get away not beefing it up, but it’s really cheap(cost me $60) for them to beef them up. Worst case is it snaps and you have them weld the tab back on and beef it up at that time. Still not a big deal. Chain guide isn’t a big deal. I get the Acerbis guide and slider for $75 and it last a long time. steering bearings oem but if you properly grease the bike before riding the ones that come on the bike will last a very long time. They just...

Moto bike/setting is dialed, off-road bike/setting is super dialed. These ‘24’s are going to need to be incredible for me to switch.

Certainly works doesn't it. If you're picking smoother lines, "hopping around the track" like they say, using lumps and bumps to your advantage and smoothing out your path however possible, it's only a good thing. At the same time, as you're not fighting the bike and if you're keeping the rpm civil, which helps keep the suspension from being any more loaded or bound up than it needs to be, and letting the engine do the work and torque itself along rather than ringing it out, you have a happy rider and a happy bike and both can do their...

Anyone who does this simply doesn't know how to pass. I cannot think of any scenario on a motocross track where following a slow rider through inside ruts and revving the engine is faster than just going outside. And if you can't pass someone "slow" after one or two corners, you probably aren't actually faster and therefore have no reason to get mad!

Fast guys need practice passing too.

Thanks for the heads up, congrats on the new ride! I actually scooped up a ‘23 yesterday. Rather than try to find the cheapest and ship it, I just went to the dealer 2 miles from my house to see if I could get a decent deal (they are basically a SxS dealer that happens to have dirt bikes). Ended up paying $9,300 OTD. A bit more than I was hoping but I’m good with it.
