hiflyer88 Started a new thread KTM 350 SXF Water Pump Seal

9/23/2015 4:52am
I am on the road racing pro-am's and I am in Maryland right now having just raced Budds Creek yesterday. I live in Texas. Yesterday my 350 started crying coolant out of the pen-tip-sized hole underneath the coolant drainage bolt. As far as I know that hole is an overflow for when everything gets too hot. After talking with a...

hiflyer88 Added a reply to KTM's hard to whip for anyone?

9/15/2015 10:06am
You're not alone. When I went back to Honda I noticed that it was easier to whip/scrub on high speed stuff. To me the KTM's have always felt more squatted and long from wheel to wheel. It's a unique feel that corners great when you get used to it. But I like the more upright and compact feel of the...

Specifically around the Washington DC area. I know that this should be in the regional forum but I doubt anyone would see it. Going to be there for a couple of weeks in mid September to race a pro-am at Budds and would really appreciate any local knowledge! Edit: I've done quite a bit of digging on the net and...

Requesting a piece on John Short. #253. He's one of the guys doing the most with the least. Great idea Killer Customz. Keep it up!

This won't be popular, but for discussions sake...what about a MotoGp/F1/Nascar staggered-start? Can we agree that our style start is more dangerous than theirs?

Here's an important question: What are the different ways we can watch Qatar other than CBS (television)? Do we have to pay Luongo to watch it online or is someone going to be a hero and put it on youtube like the Sx races?

hiflyer88 Started a new thread RC Road to SX Controversy

1/24/2015 4:34pm
I was just reading the RacerX AX recap and read a comment of a guy who is fired up. He's not happy with the RCRSX and I know he's not the only one. Thought I'd get a discussion going on it to see what most people think. My opinion: Great idea in theory. Not so much in practicality. Alexander Frye...

John Short is a friend and his account of the Cincinnati round was like this ^. He was randomly assigned his practice and it had a bunch of guys that belonged in a local C race. He said he and Frye both only hit the catapult twice in their 1st practice and 3-4 times the second practice. And the whoops...

Do the interview during dead time. Or split screen if they want to ramble. Or we can just listen and watch the practice. But if they keep doing what they just did then they are going to decrease their viewership significantly.
I agree MxKing809. It's the difference between Freddie Noren and Derek Anderson. Comparable talents, one gets a break and the other doesn't, look at the impact on their career directions. All of these guys have been standouts growing up, put their families through hell and back, and if they are top 10-40 they are all very close in talent. And...

I second this. One of the most puzzling things to me is Brayton leaving JGR, NOW of all times. He's at the height of his (SX) career so far, is maybe the only rider who has been consistently positive about the Yamaha over the past 5 years, and was the only one that fully bought into the JGR North Carolina...

hiflyer88 Started a new thread Basic clutch cable question

7/18/2014 9:09am
At least I think it's basic. I have a new cable, and cannot get free play out of it. I turned the nut adjuster clockwise all the way in (down), and the cable doesn't even have enough play to fit a penny in between the lever and perch. Can this be correct?

I should clarify. I turned both the adjuster at the lever and the one down the line all the way tight. FGR01, maybe you're onto something. I'll check the plates. Also, maybe I got the wrong cable. Anyone know of a site to look up part #'s?
