I agree. Most people also can't tell the difference in fork offsets either. (Off topic) The solution ultimately for my bike, weight and riding style was to reduce the fork offset from the stock 25mm down to 22mm. I did this by fitting 2014 YZ250F triple clamps to a 2001 YZ125 frame. (I know, "that can't be done...blah blah blah"...

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ THIS... ! ! It's amazing what small changes in wheelbase can do to the personality of a bike even while adjusting other things so that the wheel base is changed without affecting other things like effective rake, sag and shaft speed in the shock. Most people only focus on what changing the rear wheel position...

Regarding clamps.. Consider whether or not you want to change fork offset. YZ125 and YZ250 clamps have been 25mm consistently as far as I know. If you are going to use clamps from YZ450f's and YZ250f's, keep in mind that there are different offsets of either 22mm or 25mm that change on different model years of the 250F and the...

YZ144 here. My .02. Take it for what you will. My experience has been extremely reliable and I have been very pleased with my custom build. I have not ridden a faster 125/144. Under a basic maintenance schedule (not even as frequently as stock MFG recommendations), I have been through 10 rings, 5 pistons/pin/bearing and 2 cranks with out one...

Hey Wasatch..... not only are some people born with narrow nostrils... some of us are born ignorant to the fact that we are ignorant to some things. Like the fact that Kxcrf and I have a nose that is shaped in a way that makes it mostly ornamental and cannot really breath through our nose. I fear ever being held...

I'm chanting with this guy ^^^^^^

Can they? Yes. absolutely. They have the tools, they have the aptitude of general mechanical knowledge and diagnostics. Should they? Depends. I know two very skilled and well paid auto mechanics that have no business working on motorcycles. This is a two way street. There is too much knowledge that is relevant to just bikes or just cars for them...

OEM all the way

Please.. for all that is holy.. DO NOT DO THIS. I thought that he was just trying to be funny, but evidently not. Thanks for trying to help the guy, but REALLY bad idea.

Just curious what you mean by that. What's strange about that? I guess it is uncommon, yes. But are you suspicious of something. Just wondering what your perspective is on that being that I'm a mid-back A rider and have a grand total of about 15 minutes of seat time on a 4 stroke MX bike and haven't ridden one...

Love it. cant wait to see more.

I'm open to some new names. But to date, Mercedes is still my pic.

Maybe I missed it, but what does that video have to do with Mike? Is that the video that you meant to post?

So cool. Awesome magic moment in life. Good for you.

Cool. thanks. Oh, and it' called a dam.... oh never mind.

You're not getting a hard time because of your intent or your strategy. You're well intended in helping to market the family business. The strategy of doing that on industry-relevant discussion forums is a good one. You're getting dragged over the coals because of your tactics and your terrible execution. Yes, other people have "promoted" things here, but their tactics...

I've got the popcorn cookin'

It's been a while since I've had a good laugh in this place. This thread make lol. thanks.
