Good advice. If possible, apply pressure with pliers or whatever you're using to try to reshape it as you heat it.

Yes but dont do it too much its pretty soft metal anyway.

Just had my first (brake-in) ride yesterday. Felt home on it within a few laps. Just a few things I want to change. Handlebars are very low (my opinion). After two sessions I swapped the original with a Renthal 604. It was very hard to shift. But that also could by caused by my new boots. I moved the shifter up one tooth and that helped a lot. But still not as easy to shift as my last Honda (crf450 2022). Chassis comfort is noticeable better than the Honda (and it hasn’t been broken in yet!). Suspension was a little...

Yeah, the hands are for controlling not staying on. That might sound like a=a but it is not. An exercise that taught me how to discern this is by increasing intensity each lap by 10%. It's easy to ride like a textbook at 60%. Start there and take it up each lap until you're at your normal pace but you're operating inside the parameters you apply at the beginning when it's easy to stay solid. As the intensity grows you'll use more of your mental capacity on "not dying" but the conditioning is in place and the habits are forming...

I got lucky a few years back (2012) and helped prep Hangtown for Geico Honda to come do suspension testing. Barcia, Tomac, and Canard came out for 3 or so hours. Barcia was absolutely styling all day - huge whips over every jump. Tomac didn't show any style at all. He simply beat Hangtown into submission with sheer speed and power. It was actually scary to stand next to the track when he came through. Berms were moving a foot every time he hit them. Talked to them both during the day and they were just chill. I've been a...

I think that noise was Roczen's arms

My 6 y/o son is a KR94 fan. With 1 lap to go he yells "Go Kenny, you can do it, I believe in you!" I got a big fist bump when he crossed the finish line. Happy Kickstart Kenny got the win!

maybe they couldnt make it around southwick but, who on this forum would go 15 seconds with one of them in the ring? its all relative my friend.

I have 12 hrs on the 23 and on the first two air filter changes I saw that it almost sucked dirt under the filter/ air box seal. I use bio oil so didn't want to use a non bio grease and didn't have any. Ordered a Pro Seal for it from PC Racing but didn't get here in time for the race weekend. (They don't have a pre cut so you have to cut your own). So in the mean time I took a fender washer, bent one side up, drilled a hole in it and bolted it to...
