I’m intimidated by the grass in the front yard, got to be carpet!! Sweet ride that’s for sure. I’m pretty sure my wife doesn’t know one bike from the other. I bet I could swap one of my Hondas out for a Beta and she’d never know cause they are all red!!! Sounds like a plan!!!

mikelawlor Added a reply to Brand new 250f is oddly slow?
3/8/2023 3:51pm Couple more things to think of while I read through all this. 1: are you running a o ring chain? They create a lot of drag 2: can you post pic of your air filter. I know you said you used K&N filter oil on a foam filter 3: will the bike hit the rev limiter if it’s in neutral...

3/8/2023 11:03am What is your air filter cleaning procedure? Maybe to much oil on the air filter after you cleaned it choking it out?

I'm saying that additional oil volume addresses the same issue (increased bottoming resistance) and is cheaper/easier to try/eliminate before buying the perches. Adding oil through the bleed screw has some drawbacks on twin-chamber forks. The oil is going to the wrong place. It will migrate eventually, but ideally you unscrew the top caps of the forks and add the oil direct to the outer chamber where it needs to be.

mikelawlor Added a reply to VP T4 vs VPR
2/18/2023 5:57am One thing about pump fuel even race fuel at the pump is it’s vented. It heats up and cools down and vents and also allows moisture and other contaminates in the tank and isn’t as consistent as a sealed pail or drum of race fuel. When I was younger I used to get 110 at the pump and it was...

2/17/2023 3:13pm It’s pricy but MR12 or MR- Pro6 will make the most power but it’s about $160-200 for a 5 gallon pail. If it’s a two stroke then MRX02 makes the most power.

2/15/2023 8:01am I got both of mine covered but it took a little bit. I had my surgeon write a letter stating I needed them for support and that I do construction and walk up and down ladders everyday (which is true) and that the other leg should have one as a preventative measure rather than needing a surgery for it down...

Mine paid for both. You just need the right surgeon that you have a relationship with and they can make it happen. The CTI (ossur) rep can tell you exactly what is required.

My real answer to this thread: Step 1: Pull seat to avoid getting waterlogged, remove air filter and put on cover (usually made by Twin-Air) Step 2: Lay bike on side, get heavy mud off bottom Step 3: Put bike on stand, finish getting main dirt off Step 4: Use mixture of Dawn dish soap, mixed with water. A couple ounces of soap for 32 oz. of water. Dawn is a degreaser, lathers up nice and doesn't cause any discoloration of metal like Simple Green does. Step 5: Spray on bike, use scrub brush to scrub down bike and let...

Right?? Suzuki's annual revenue exceeds $3.5 trillion and net income over $134 billion... KTM's annual revenue is around $1.8 billion and net income around $104 million. Suzuki could buy KTM out of their petty cash... Which is one of the reasons we are all pissed that they don't give a shit about their dirt bikes...

1/26/2023 1:01pm Suzuki sells a lot of cars and a lot of outboard motors. Motorcycles is just a small slice of there pie. Hence why they don’t give a shit about motorcycles especially off road ones. Where as KTM group is 80% off-road and 20% on road but all motorcycle company.
mikelawlor Added a reply to 2008 Suzuki Rmz 450 Won’t Start.
1/25/2023 6:19am If you hook a 12v battery to the fuel pump directly and it does nothing then That’s your problem. It should turn on and shoot fuel out of the line. The clicking on the injector is indication it’s opening. You can also check the pump with a ohm meter. If the reading is open or infante then it’s bad. Idk...

1/24/2023 6:36pm Hook a m12 battery up to the fuel pump and see if it runs and squirts fuel. If it does then take the injector out and hook 12v to it and put some break clean through it and make sure it squirts through. If either don’t then they need to be replaced.

1/18/2023 7:04am Is your cold start button stuck in? That would definitely cause decel pop. But you would get a high idle too. Doesn't hurt to check. Normal position is out on Ktm. In is “cold start”. You can also shut it off by chopping the throttle.
