About Me
Student at Stetson University. Still find time to ride and race in Florida, especially during the late winter and mid-summer. Eventually will graduate and then head off to more school at graduate school. But also plan on taking the bike with me, where ever I go.

miketherider Added a reply to Forkner and Mitch

Mitch doesn’t take excuses; if you’re healthy, he expects you’re in shape. Forkner riding around with an anchor going backwards is a 5 alarm fire hinting he wasn’t prepped to race.

I have around 10 years CAD/Solid modeling experience and about 5 years of design engineering experience. Worked during the day as a CAD designer and went to school at night to get my degrees. Already work in an engineering position for a company, but have reached as far as I can go. 2 years out of school currently and just looking to follow my passion in life.

Check the torque on the cylinder and head bolts. You say you are running the needle on the top clip? If that is the case, you may need to look into a leaner needle and try towards the middle.

Exhaust bridge damage is a common "kryptonite" of those cylinders. Some builders will reweld and reshape that port to better withstand prolonged abuse. Even though they are small, these suckers do vibrate quite a bit thanks to higher revs, so good to check the torque on your head, cylinder, and any external bolt you can touch.

miketherider Added a reply to BOXO 103-Piece Metric MotoBox Toolbox?

5/19/2021 12:24pm
I found an old craftsman box on FB marketplace for $30, had some similar foam from a coworker husband that works for snap on, added my tools as needed. I was a little lucky, grandfather gave me 90% of tools I’ve never needed, have added speciality stuff over the years and as needed. That’s not a bad deal though, once...

5/11/2021 7:14am
I am curious to see what Marv does; does he carry momentum from the last few weeks of supercross into a strong outdoors run? We seem to forget he only lost the title by 16 points in 18, and never finished worse than 5th in a moto the entire summer. Does his consistency come back? Seems we always have a...

There is a fee and process to homologate; the fee is like $750 or something, but Yamaha hasn't paid it in years, I believe since 2014ish or 2015. I know Stank rode a YZ125 in the nationals one year, I believe the year before he did the series with those excellent youtube videos on the Hoosky.

We used the small piece of PVC pipe for our friends kid. Easy to install, cut to whatever we needed and train using the throttle wisely. Clutch adjustment was a major help as well. Having both instilled confidence and time to work on using brakes, keeping feet on pegs, controlling the bike, etc.

Great job by DB and Jbone. Having people that are 100% plugged into the sport should be the way the broadcast is all the time, hopefully this weekend and the feedback has some staying power for the 22 season. Maybe they can get Jbone in on some of the nationals too, be great to have segments on the different setups...
