fanboy Started a new thread Jetting: kx250
6/24/2014 5:34pm Background: 2003 kx250, stock jetting, 4500 ft elevation, fmf gnarly pipe, v-force reeds, stock everything else. I got the bike a couple months ago. It seemed to run okay, but lacked bottom to mid range, so I lowered the needle one position. It improved slightly, but the bike still has a weak mid range. I have only ridden three times...

fanboy Added a reply to What Kind of Motocross Rider Are You?
6/18/2014 10:28pm I got 100 even though it told me I got 94. It asks how many exhaust pipes the current crf's have. They're looking for two, but there is only one pipe. Two mufflers, one pipe.
fanboy Started a new thread What do you guys think of my new bike?
5/19/2014 6:00pm Thought I'd share a few pictures of my bikes. I recently sold my 450 in order to complete my dream of owning a mountain bike. With the money made from the 450, I was able to buy both a mountain bike and another dirt bike. I also had enough extra from the sale to buy all new gear.

fanboy Added a reply to Tell me all you can about the 2006 YZF450?
5/12/2014 10:58am You are correct. From 05 to 06 they went from steel to aluminum frame. Not that it says much, but I remember the 06 won MXA's shootout that year. I haven't ridden one, but I have ridden the 09, which has the same frame. I liked it just fine during my 10 minutes on it. Good power and handling, I...
fanboy Added a reply to What's this old pony worth (dumbgeon)
5/9/2014 11:18pm I would throw an oem style decal on the shroud if I were you. I just sold a 2007 crf for 3100 in Utah. I've been seeing 05's listed for 2000-2800. Can't say for sure in your market, but with all the work you've done, you could probably get 25-2700 here as long as you had receipts.
fanboy Added a reply to Your favorite moments of 2014 SX?
5/8/2014 2:16pm Chads wins, Stewart in Toronto, Villopoto's and Baggett's dominance in Daytona, and Cianciarulo's success before injury all stand out as highlights in my mind.
fanboy Started a new thread What did DeCoster think of TP?
5/8/2014 8:25am From my observations, DeCoster is a very serious man who demands results from his riders. Pastrana seems to be more about having a good time and enjoying himself. It doesn't seem like DeCoster would have been happy having Pastrana on the team, yet Pastrana continued to be a Suzuki man during the entire time Roger was there. Travis is probably...

fanboy Started a new thread Would I hate a 125?
5/6/2014 8:45am I'm selling my crf450 and getting a two stroke. I've had several two strokes ('98 kx250, '02 rm250, '87 ktm350), but never anything smaller than a 250. I went from my first bike (87 xr80) to my ktm350, so I skipped right over the 125. A few months ago I decided to sell the 450 and buy a 250 two...

fanboy Added a reply to When did the Yamahas stop getting so much hate?
4/15/2014 4:41pm I hated the bike after I rode a 2010 and a 2011. I think maybe they're an acquired taste, because I only spent a couple laps on them. They seemed like pigs to me. The redesigned 14 does seem to be getting more praise from people. I think the hate was directed toward 10-13, and either the 14 made people...

3/22/2014 8:45pm Clearly you are proud of yourself for including the term "rhetorical" in your post. Congratulations. Now go work on grammar and logic.

3/22/2014 8:35pm Yep, he's sandbagging, That's why he's 39 points down in the championship. Your brilliance is unrivaled.
fanboy Added a reply to Would I hate a 125?
3/18/2014 8:31pm Thanks for the response. You've got me nearly convinced to get a 125. I hadn't considered a 250f, mainly because I don't enjoy working on my 450. Also a reason for selling is to save a little money from the sale by getting an older and cheaper bike. Any suggestions on a 125 from the late 1990's to early 2000's...

3/7/2014 9:41pm My observations as long-time lurker/ new member regarding the forum aspect of vital: Good: - A lot of active posters - Rider info/news/rumors are never in shortage - Entertaining race discussions - Helpful info Bad: -No shortage of arrogance among posters. -Most members suck the nuts of at least one rider -Having many posts somehow qualifies for a special merit...

2/25/2014 2:36pm I'll admit, in the heat of the moment I was pretty upset. I still wouldn't have wished for mike to be in a wheelchair or break his neck. That's just messed up, however if he would have crashed out, I wouldn't have been in tears. I still think it was very dirty and the most blatantly obvious take out I've...
fanboy Added a reply to Atlanta SX Bench Racing - The Night Show
2/22/2014 7:40pm I think it's pretty cool to see. Did you think it was lame when roczen checked up on reed after he crashed too? I do agree that it's fun to see a rivalry like Stewart/Reed back in 08-09, but this is cool too.
