Froggy76 Started a new thread Chains. Please educate me
7/29/2021 10:25am Hi all and thank you for reading. My apologies if this sounds like a dumb question but how do chains alter the performance of a bike. I keep seeing questions about “ best chains” or read that the factory chain is crap and should be replaced..... Can someone explain how and why a aftermarket chain is better than stock... Cheers

7/27/2021 10:22pm Reviving an old post here. So in light of all the above recommendations and suggestions, is there actually a chain that does not need to be adjusted as often as a stock chain. Not that I am lazy, but I quite often forget to check and tension them before I ride until I wash the bike and notice the sag...

6/30/2021 3:42pm good point about the plastics..I will keep this in mind. I like all my toys to be neat. I really enjoy cleaning the bikes Not really worried about resale though, you should see the aftermarket here in aust, it's crazy for a dirt bike. As an example, i bought a 2016 crf 250r back in 2018 for $5200AUD and just...

6/30/2021 5:27am I agree. This year color scheme mis one of my favourite thus far. Been pondering to get a 20 or 21 model. Just going to put the race numbers on and that’s it. No need for extra sticker/decal kit Out of curiosity, what do you guys use to try and keep the plastics in near near condition for as long...

6/30/2021 1:10am I did not touch them at all but did say to the dealer that my 11yo was not very tall so maybe they have done it this way. I literally rushed to the store to pick them up yesterday before the 6 pm lockdown and back to store them. I will play with the bike on the weekend sorting out...

6/29/2021 11:36pm I had a spark plug come loose but not off and was left on the side of the track tinkering whilst everybody lapped me before I checked it. I was so convinced it was the fuel..... Noob error

Froggy76 Started a new thread helmet replacement time frame
6/20/2021 12:09am Hi all, Wondering what the general opinions on helmet replacement are without any crashes. How often do you replace them? I have a Bell Carbon 9 stamped July 2013. I have never had a head crash, it looks in good condition less a bit less shine due toi the harsh Aust sun but the foam and overall conditions are mint...

5/31/2019 2:58pm Hi guys, thanks for all the replies, very interesting. I have just sold my A-10. Was bothering me with my leatt neck brace. Never felt confortable when using both. When I did not wear the brace it was absolutely fine and never felt it to be bulky. I am torn between the leatt 4.5 body armour (level 2 back and...
Froggy76 Started a new thread Body protection -L1 vs L2
5/31/2019 3:34am Hi team, Does anybody know or have any info on the level for body protection. Is there a massive difference between the two to justify almost double the price. Do you need to race or go really fast to have a serious injury?
