Love me a Kx125 but 9500 is absurd even with a fresh full rebuild 5k tops

In this market it would be a miracle

I'll put torque settings in the same category as floating axle blocks. Happy to be proven wrong but what is floating once your axle nut is tightened up?

Call me stupid. I thought torque specs were for maximum hold (making one) without stretching, fatiguing or snapping the bolt or stripping the threads. Never mind under torquing and coming loose…Never In a million years would I have thought of it as a variable for tuning the flex of my motorcycle frame. I’ll gracefully bow out and leave this to the nano flex feelers of frame mounts over the myriad of other physics going on between the tires, tire pressure, suspension, linkage, hot, cold, expansion, contraction, rider, young, old, fat, skinny, experienced, novice, wet, dry, sand, mud, etc, etc. oh...

RIP Racer

I gave the OP a thumbs up, because he's Happy with what he's got. What he spends his money on, and is happy with - Good on him. I'm happy with driving 2 1999 Vehicles, a Van and an old AU, my main dirt bike being a 2002 model, bought in 2003, and most of my various other bikes being far older. With a few far younger bikes. Each of our approaches, and most others from everyone else, are viable / good by me. Going for a ride on my Mates Varg(s) tomorrow - well, today, as it's 2am here...

I am not quick to hate on any type of MX, however , the tesla truck is UGLY as fk! I saw one the other day on the interstate. Im not sure an uglier vehicle is even possible to make. I like some of the Tesla hot rod cars, even drove a buddys a few times. They are fast as hell! I am just not interested in any version of E-MX. Some guys have been bringing E-Ride Motos and Talarias down to my track to ride lately. They are jumping everything and can corner fast too. But, its just not...

If this is the future of the sport, count me and a large majority priced out. Damn that’s sad.

Average price of 1500 pickup in 2024: $45k-55k Cybertruck price: $90k~ So already double the price.. Average sold 450 price: $8000 Stark price: $15k You're tits up before you even start BUD. EV's are almost always double the price of the standard models. EV politics are complete garbage. And you're not saving the planet with them.

Just with the cool down payment of 80k for the Tesla , doubling your auto insurance and increasing your homeowners insurance because those evs burn houses to the ground with no warning and no way to put them out.

It is both on the KXs. I checked with my dealer. I paid cash for mine, but since I have money in a savings account paying 5.21% currently, I would have just kept my money in the bank and used Kawasaki’s if I knew this.

Jason is one of my favorites. Racing is always more interesting when he’s in the mix.

A holeshot by El Hombre would mean trouble for the rest of the field right now. Would love to see him bust out a win in one the last rounds.

Not a pro mxer but there’s a former desert racer named Mitch something or other. I think he did pretty good with the little business he started.

I’m running a RK MXU with dirt tricks sprockets. Have been using Maxima chain wax and MPPL as lube. After 40ish hours chain got a little ratty but I got lazy a few times after washing. The sprockets on the other hand are wearing like iron so I picked up another MXU to throw on.

Its always the stupid shit that you need insurance for, I worked at a track when I was a teenager, saw plenty of stupid stuff... parent's run out on a live track when their kids cash, only to hurt themselves or cause a crash. Saw a truck pulling in, driver not paying attention runs off the gravel path and hits a tree (obviously its the tracks fault ). My favorite was the guy that tried to sit on a generator, right on the bright red heat shield that read "caution hot," he sued, I even had to give a deposition...
