I'm always late to the party, but I do get there in the end lol. As has been stated already, a lot of teams do use Evans Coolant in MX/SX. We've got teams that use it and wear to logo like Phoenix Honda, Factory Beta, MRP/SBR, Partzilla PRMX, and a slew of privateers. You've got the teams that always run...

What year is that, 1989? I've got one in good shape, did a mechanical rebuild recently, but it looks good too because I can't resist fixing what's not right. It's one I'd like to keep, but the parts availability makes me ride it less than I want too.

I was never in that world, you are just a conspiracy theorist who refuses to listen to reason. I have never been dishonest in my information regarding lubricants, or at least not knowingly. I can't say I am normal though. That CAS covers a lot of different things including solvents and lubricating oils. Petroleum solvents are by definition a group I oil. CAS numbers often cover wide ranges of materials with regard to petroleum. I say it is a solvent because: 1. They say the product is synthetic 2. The percentage is indicative of typical solvent content in 2 stroke...

That 25%-50% is solvent. It is a necessary component for oils meant for injection systems. All oils designed for use in 2-stroke oil injection systems utilize solvents at certain levels depending on the rest of the formula. If it weren't present, the high viscosity of the oil would prevent adequate delivery and the engine would be starved for oil. The solvents may also have some cleaning/deposit reduction properties, though the viscosity modification is the big effect. Synthetic solvents exist but their compatibility with the fuel system at large and oil components may be troublesome, they would be exorbitantly more expensive...

I’m going to try to explain something here. There’s a thing called a masshole. Generally it refers to eastern Massachusetts natives. You’d think by the way it sounds that it’s a bad thing, but in reality it’s not. A masshole is honest and outspoken and takes shit as much as gives it, all with a wry smile. I can tell that some of you guys have caught on, others maybe not. Or maybe it’s not for you. That’s ok. If you’re from new England or New York you get it for sure and it’s a fun part of life around...

I came off the track after practice (roadracing at Summit Point on a Honda Ascot) and was scratching my head because it was breaking up at higher RPM. A guy walks by and says "I heard it breaking up, you should check the ground to the coil" and keeps going. He was right, the coil was loose and the vibration...

Born in. Both my parents ride, so I was blessed with a minibike at 8. This is a cousin with that bike before it was stolen. No pics of me with it because cameras were scarce back in the day. Didn't start racing until I was 19, and that was like a whole new beginning!

My buddy's bike was apart, but I wanted to go racing. I loaned him my YZ125 and took his XR600. I was in 2nd in woodsman until I dropped it in a turn and couldn't get it started quick enough.
