Greenhound386 Added a reply to Rib Injury
8/21/2022 8:42pm I broke 6 on the right side about 2 weeks ago. It's been slow progress. Here are my tips: Use a wedge pillow so that you can sleep a little upright. Several advantages. It is infinitely easier to get up and out of bed. It also takes some pressure off your ribs and will help you sleep. I also have...

We seem to be in this weird spot where some of the mains are too much if you’re not a fast intermediate/pro and the vets are nowhere near enough. Some tracks are pretty good with both and others have a huge gap between the two. It’s a weird deal.

7/13/2022 11:51am A short man's sport!? Getting on my KX250 is akin to mounting a Clydesdale. Let's split the difference and call it a medium man's sport (~5'8" - 5'10").

7/8/2022 10:29am Generous offer, thanks! I'm in Southern California, though. I am less than 30 minutes from Pro Circuit and have my suspension there right now, and I need to pick it up next week. I might be able to have them do it as well!

7/8/2022 10:28am Thanks! Seems like a good option. They're pretty local to me as well, and $100 would be a super reasonable price. Even $200 seems fair. The roadracing bikes are a lot more, but those are typically custom tunes with lots more options / variables to tune.

7/7/2022 10:21pm Gonna revive this thread again! Is there a company that - for a fee - can flash the ECU to the 'Chavez' map that is constantly mentioned? I don't want to buy the calibration tool just to upload a single map. Just getting back into dirt bikes after roadracing for the last decade, and there are a ton of companies...

Added benefit: the Elektrode matches well with my KX250. I called my 2 local dealers, and they have no idea when these things will be available. One of them...

6/7/2022 3:25pm $1,099. Hoping their simpler design gets them in stock sooner rather than later. I'd think it could be a solid seller moving into the summer.

It’s a step in the right direction I guess, but I don’t really agree with this. Imagine you’re the guy with Tuesday/Wednesday off.. Tuesday is essentially your Saturday. Your boy is on a 65 and he’s a safe and decently skilled rider. You, you’re a mid pack C rider and you find the vet track to be pretty easy because you generally start to hit all the big jumps on the main tracks within the first 4-5 times of riding said track. You’re slow, but you focus on technique and safety above speed. You go to pala so you can...

I was told that back east dirt is the best - WTF? Lake Elsinore Motocross on a august afternoon looked less slippery than whatever surface was in Gillette Stadium yesterday. Did they truck in the dirt from Hangtown or something?

4/4/2022 9:12am I concur with all of the others that noted the stiff suspension. I am 150 without gear. I put my first couple of hours on mine yesterday, and it's crazy stiff. Rear bucks off of braking and acceleration bumps quite a bit. I was able to get the sag set, but the static sag is more than double what it...

4/4/2022 8:35am Yep! He posts his rides on Strava, so I'm not blowing up a huge secret of his. I didn't bother him; I just stared at him and tried to absorb some of the talent and skill exuding off of him. It didn't work; I still suck.

4/1/2022 10:15am Has anyone put the Pro Circuit linkage on their bike? I saw another poster ask earlier in the thread, but I didn't see any feedback on it. I'm 150lbs without gear, so I am thinking the linkage could prevent me from having to go down a spring rate while adding some other advantages. If it's worth it, I'll probably do...

3/30/2022 12:21pm He's still around! I got in touch with Clayton through Instagram about 2 weeks ago. I sent him a subframe to be cut, and I got it back earlier this week. He was pretty responsive via direct message on Instagram, and he did an awesome job on my subframe.
