Gazza Added a reply to 2016 ktm 450 sxf hard start / backfires
5/11/2023 1:05am It cranks over easy, until it may stop after a pop. The pump primes and sounds OK. I had the injector out and spray looks strong (though haven't measured pressure). I do have to keep the throttle on to keep it from dying on idle, though once running on track it's fine

Gazza Started a new thread 2016 ktm 450 sxf hard start / backfires
5/10/2023 12:39pm My bike has recently developed major starting issues, seems to be getting worse. As for timeline: Bike was running perfectly, used the battery in another bike and it died so bought same battery again. Seemed marginally more difficult to start Over winter did a top end rebuild as general maintenance, everything was in spec. Started instantly on the button after...

10/30/2016 2:09am Definitely do it, it's pretty beautiful countryside. I was there a few days ago but couldn't convince the missus to ride on the back for so long! Did at least manage to ride around a few places in the north though.

1/22/2016 11:32am I'd rather see him in the outdoors than have him risk hurting himself for unimportant races...

6/25/2015 4:50am The dudes got skill that's for sure. I'm guessing he probably is one of the endurocross racers. He's got himself a pretty cool shovel there too
Gazza Added a reply to Garage security system
6/10/2015 3:01am I also read a reddit ama from a burglar after the last attempted break in. His general thing was he only broke in during the day, when if an alarm went off there would not be many people around and the cops would be slow to respond. At night if an alarm goes off you know people are going to...
Gazza Added a reply to Garage security system
6/9/2015 1:10am I've got a massive ground anchor and thick gold standard security chain for my bike. Some thieves broke in to the garage last year and got my new mountain bike and toolbox but left the bike. As a result I put more ground anchors in for all the bikes, installed a door defender so they can't actually open the door...

Gazza Added a reply to Reed Says He's Done If He Can't Run His Camera
6/2/2015 5:22am Pretty much this, it's a TV deal. I imagine NBC have exclusive rights to all footage they shoot and from the track. They pay GoPro for the track footage. If everyone had their own different branded cameras it would be hard to control all of that footage. The far easier and more manageable solution is a blanket ban of other...
Gazza Added a reply to How did Mikey do in France??
6/1/2015 1:03am 2nd moto he was running up to 14th I think, I'm pretty sure he was up there until nearly the end. Febvre lapped him on the last lap as he had crashed, bike was facing the wrong way at the bottom of one of the hills as he came past. He got a few mentions, the commentators couldn't get their...

Gazza Added a reply to 2Tall KTM 250sx
5/21/2015 1:04am I remember their original bikes as they were developing the frames, good to see they're still going and the kits are certainly more elegant these days. I was always interested but never on a KTM at the time back in NZ. The Doeksen brothers sure do haul the mail as well, a remember struggling to keep Jan behind me on...
Gazza Added a reply to RV racing Brit GP?
5/19/2015 7:34am I'm giving them until tomorrow to announce either way. I'll go for sure if he's there, but don't think so if not. Living in the north I can't exactly turn up on the day and being a holiday weekend I'm sure it will be a massive pain in the arse to book somewhere (It was hard enough to get the...
Gazza Added a reply to A Chase style shakeup makes sense
5/8/2015 1:13am Is the fact that there is still a championship up for grabs the only thing that makes for good watching? The races I watched after Dungey wrapped up the Championship he still went out to win. Everyone still went out to win. Did you see that dudes speed at Vegas? If Eli hadn't of crashed that could have been an...
Gazza Added a reply to How would have the championship changed had it been in chase format?
5/4/2015 5:15am I wouldn't be adverse to the 450's dropping their worse result, it's one long season. But other than that it should stay the same. And no matter how the points system changed I can't see the results being any different
Gazza Added a reply to Looks like Reed is afraid of Pieck after watching Vegas
5/4/2015 3:31am Or maybe it was just Pieck unleashing that triple after the whoops and pulling away when Reed started applying pressure... Reed only appeared to have the edge through the Monster Alley section so had no show once Pieck was able to pull away before it. A shame about his tyre problem tho.
Gazza Added a reply to Traveling to China?
4/22/2015 3:39am I lived in Chongqing for 2 years, 2010-2011 (designing motocross bikes :p) Yeah some days the pollution is bad, some toilets will give you nightmares, every now and then the food will have you on the toilet for a couple days. But in all honesty, 'limited travel' is really nothing to worry about, it will be absolutely fine. I was...

3/13/2015 4:57pm Bought a full KTM set last year, the colour match was good, the side panels didn't fit well so I had to take a knife to them to get them right, but made it work. Quality was a little poor too, looks like the shrouds were taken out of the moulds too quick, more or less hidden by the graphics...
Gazza Added a reply to McGrath in a sprint car
2/27/2015 2:54am I got to do 20 laps in a midget in Jan, holy hell that thing was funny! Almost as fun as the bike :p It was surprising how controllable the power was, I really think MX helped a massive amount with throttle control, the sound is absolutely unreal as well! I'm pretty sure MC could do pretty well racing, I...
