MadMaxPerf Started a new thread 08 KTm 450SX or 07 KX450F
1/26/2012 11:29pm Looking to buy a new bike. Just got the 14 year old boy an 03 CRF450, that is MINT. Hardly ridden. Now, I cant decide what to get. I can get the 07 KX 450 for 6300, and the 08 KTM 450SX for 7500 or so.( both brand new, off the floor) I used to ride Expert/pro class, but now...

MadMaxPerf Started a new thread Your American leadership candidates
1/26/2012 2:30pm Man, call me crazy, but I used to think your system worked better than ours. But, if the choices you folks have in this election is any indication, Id say your system is failing the average American. Id say close to as bad as our system up here is failing the average Canadian. I hate to re-gurgitate an old Cliche'...

MadMaxPerf Added a reply to Anyone here change their own bike tires and tubes?
3/31/2008 6:33pm Hmmm.. I dont mind doing it. I can do them pretty fast. Done lots over the years. Main thing is, use lots of soapy water, or WD 40. And, like someone said, take small bites, and make sure the bead is into the rim indentation.

4/16/2016 6:30pm [quote="pilotx253":34vds790]Thanks for all the info guys....and I got a few good laughs out of it myself! Being very cautious about this whole deal-I think I can do some very basic clean up of a few ports, but have come to the realization that I really need to spend some dough to do what I would like to accomplish (and do...

3/30/2008 10:03pm As a professional engine builder, of snowmobile engines, and quite a few race bikes, I cant help but tell you to save your money, and just pay Pro Circuit for the other cylinder. Decent porting tools are big cash. You will spend 500 minimum to get rigged up. And, if you dont have a good knowledge of port timing, and...

3/30/2008 9:55pm Matt, you have courage man! Nicely done. I wish I could be in that kind of shape. Apparently, three kids, a job, age and old moto injuries are my excuses. Are they good ones? Not sure, but Im not in the shape I should be thats for sure. Way to go!

3/29/2008 9:56pm Why did they speed that video up a weee bit. Looks stupid.
MadMaxPerf Added a reply to Wey...
4/16/2016 6:29pm I dont care. If you guys say they need a linkage, and Wey is struggling due to the bike, it HAS to be true. Every frikkin one of you is a direct pipeline to the factory teams, so I KNOW its all true. Thats it, Im cancelling my 08 KTM 450 SX purchase. You guys are too frikkin smart.

3/29/2008 9:36am AAhhhhh! i told him I would buy the 07 KX, but now Im regretting it. I just cant decide. The KX seems kind of bland... just doesnt seem as cool as the KTM, but I know the KX would be great, cause I had the 06. I hated the 4 speed, but the rest of the bike was decent. Im...

3/28/2008 9:20am Dang it!! I was about to pick up the KX today, that way I could buy my wifey the 230F honda they have there that is MINT. Not a mark on the thing, and the original tires and chains and sprockets. I dont know that there would have been two tanks of gas through the thing. Its wifeys birthday today...

3/27/2008 1:26pm Well, going to look at them again today. Frikk.. I cant decide. KX can be had cheap though. But I like the KTMs looks and quality. Prolly keep it a few years too..
MadMaxPerf Added a reply to How far back in time would a current Novice on a 08 450
3/27/2008 10:44am Bottom line, the fast guys then were frikkin FAST. It would take a fast guy now, to beat them on those tracks, in those conditions. Its the same thing, fast guys are always fast. Slow guys are always slow. I think people would be surprised just how fast those guys went on those old tanks.

3/27/2008 8:06am Maybe a guy should buy a 300XC, and stiffen it up for moto. It would be 25% trail ridden, and then 75% moto, as we have a practice track on the farm, and a dozer to play with.

3/27/2008 8:03am These are Canadian prices, so things might be cheaper down in Fl. Im leaning towards the KTM, cause I have had a few, and they were all great bikes. Did you feel the KX was way better than the KTM, or just your preference. Im used to the super hard seats... and, KXs probably have the softest seat. I loved...

MadMaxPerf Added a reply to 08 KTm 450SX or 07 KX450F
4/16/2016 6:28pm I had an 03 250SX. That was by far, the roughest, most tiring bike I have ever owned. Light switch power, and jackhammer suspension. Im not afraid at all of the 08 KTM 450SX. Most of the tests I have read praise it. The e-start is wicked too. The KX is a great bike too. Basically, heavier springs for my...
