Loomis077 Started a new thread Protecting bike from road salt.
1/12/2021 11:38am Hey all. I’m heading down to Georgia from Michigan in 2-3 weeks to ride. I’m hauling my KX450 in the bed of my truck. Any recommendations at to what I could spray on the metal, forks, rims, hubs, swingarm, engine, frame, etc to help protect them from any road salt? I’m hoping that it isn’t wet or snowy with nasty...

1/10/2021 7:13pm Honestly, it would likely be perfectly fine. I would think being in my truck bed would protect it a lot on its own from any direct spray of salty water.

Loomis077 Added a reply to Question regarding ARC levers...
12/7/2020 5:57pm Do you notice any weird flex in the levers when you pull them? That is basically my only concern.

12/7/2020 5:47pm I know this is an old thread but thought I’d ask here before starting a new one. Any reason or benefit to using the ARC aluminum levers over the composite? I just got a 2020 KX 450. I put the ARC rotator clamps on so far. Looking to do levers too. Had the ASV C6 levers and perch on my...
Loomis077 Started a new thread Looking at new bikes/ low stock available?
11/24/2020 1:51pm Hey all, Looking at buying a new bike. Currently I have a 2017 RMZ450 that I bought new. It’s not a bad bike but I’m ready for something different. I’m a 30+B/C rider. Last Sunday I was lucky enough to ride a YZ450F, KX450, and a FC450. All were really nice bikes. The one I seemed to be the most...

11/24/2020 1:00pm I scored on what I thought was a good deal on about the only 2020 KX left in Michigan. Just got home from picking it up at Lakeside Motorsports in Mecosta. Got it for $8282 otd.

11/22/2020 3:49pm That’s almost as bad as the Facebook Marketplace ads around here for used bone stock 110’s for $3500!

11/22/2020 3:30pm I’m also looking at it as a ‘21 taken off the lot is now a used bike but a ‘20 taken off the lot is now a year old used bike. It will definitely be worth less than the ‘21 as soon as it’s titled.

11/22/2020 3:28pm I’m really wrestling with what is the price difference before it makes sense to buy a ‘20 over a ‘21. Is it $1000, $1500, etc? I’m not terribly worried about the clutch difference as I’m not a clutch abuser. The only thing different on the 2 bikes I know I would need to change is the bar mounts on the...

11/22/2020 3:18pm Thanks, I know it’s all apart of selling stuff but if you tell me you’re coming, I’m taking time out of my day to make sure I’m available so it seems like common courtesy if you aren’t going to come to let the seller know. Idk, maybe I’m old fashioned that way.

11/22/2020 2:50pm Update: So I went ahead and got the new KLX110. Kid loves the bike! I didn’t end up trading the RMZ in. I did however have a rough week last week with selling it. I didn’t want to give it away by any means so I didn’t really budge on listed price. I had a handful of people tell me...

11/14/2020 5:33pm Dang! Cant believe I’m hearing from everywhere that the new bikes are few and far between. It’s just crazy these things are selling so fast. I know there aren’t a ton of new ones out there but what is out is going quick! I really do appreciate the comments. I know if I hold onto the Suzuki I could likely...

11/14/2020 12:44pm The bike is basically brand new. It is in phenomenal condition. I just couldn’t believe how much better the KX worked for me even when the suspension was way undersprung for me. My bike has the suspension done for me. I’ll be honest I’m hating the air forks. I know I could do a spring conversion but I’ve read very...

11/13/2020 12:28pm I think as of now I’m going to scoop up the 110 if it’s still available. I don’t see the price on those getting any better even in the distant future. Way too much demand for them right now. The 450 I’ll probably just wait and try to sell mine first. I’d almost be willing to bet there won’t be...

11/13/2020 12:24pm I put the RMZ up for $4000 myself. I’ve had a few messages on it but nothing solid as of yet. Wrong time of year. 😬

11/13/2020 12:23pm I haven’t even seen any 2020 SX450Fs available either.
Loomis077 Started a new thread Returning to MX after torn ACL
2/1/2020 9:15pm Hello all, I’m a new member here but have lurked for a while. I’m sure that this has been addressed before so if I have not found the threads by all means point me towards them. A little background, I rode MX for quite some time, 2000-2010. I got out of the sport after the 2010 season. I had just...

2/1/2020 9:15pm I’ll be 10 months out from ACL construction here in a few days. Recovery is still going really well. I experience pretty much no knee pain. I do however have a lot of stiffness and mild pain in the calf on the leg with the repaired ACL. It definitely gets more noticeable when I’m using the elliptical or something like...

12/22/2019 9:14am I walked on my own as soon as I got out of surgery with no crutches. Doctor said it was full weight bearing right out of surgery. I never needed any pain medication other than a couple Tylenol. I had surgery on a Monday and the following Monday I was walking and drove myself to physical therapy. At week 2...

12/21/2019 7:41pm Thanks, that’s a pretty neat chart of the graft strength. I wonder if there has ever been any studies as to what the stronger graft is, patella tendinitis or hamstring and if the graft is stronger as your own or a cadaver?
