MMCDan Added a reply to Enzo or FC setup for 15YZ250F ?
10/8/2015 5:16pm Enzo without a doubt. While they have your stuff have them install their fork spring tubes and shock compression adjuster. They also do a shock mod that eliminates the need for a lowering link. Good stuff.

MMCDan Added a reply to Gay or Straight .........Rhythm
9/17/2015 4:26pm I thought the event was boring after the first round but Milestone installed a "course" (or track or whatever you call it) last year and it was actually a lot of fun to ride. Re: the dangerous comment above, people were crashing their brains out every time we rode it. Maybe that's why they aren't building one this year.

9/13/2015 6:53pm Use Ontario (ONT). SWA has a number of flights in and out of there everyday.

9/9/2015 11:01pm I buy FasterUSA wheel sets with MX32/52 tires mounted and delivered for $1100 all the time. You can then sell your stock wheels on CL for $300 or $400 to get the total cost down close to Tusk or DNA prices. I've broken RAD and Dubya wheels but never had a Faster wheel fail. And as mentioned above, Colin will...
MMCDan Added a reply to A little advice on a 14 YZ450F
8/23/2015 8:43pm How long have you been riding it? Are you transitioning from another brand? It took me a few weeks to get used to the first reverse engine Yamaha I owned and even after owning several 10 - 13 and 14/15's I still need a week or so to adjust when transitioning back from another brand. As stated above, tire selection...
MMCDan Added a reply to CRF450 Squeal problem
7/2/2015 3:24pm Most likely not related to your squeal but just a heads-up to you and other 2015 CRF450 owners. 5th gear on my new (10 hours) 2015 grenaded a couple days ago. Not sure if there is anything you can do on the preventative side but Honda said they have seen this on other 2015's.

12/31/2014 9:30pm I've yet to find the perfect "one-stop-shop" retailer either online or in the neighborhood. In my experience, you have to put in a bit of effort to get what you need when you want it. Like most on here, my online shopping is split between Rocky Mountain, BTO and Motosport. I usually favor RM for their fast order processing, shipping...

12/29/2014 10:56pm BSME/MBA, VP for leading US power plant development/asset management company. Former Navy nuke, spent 6 years on fast attack submarines before entering the civilian power generation world. Over the last 30 years I've worked with just about every type of plant, from nuclear, gas, wind, solar, geothermal, even managed some biofuel plants, and I still love every minute of it.
MMCDan Added a reply to YZ250F headaches
11/28/2014 10:42pm Yamaha won't do anything for you. My 2014 250F ate the shift mechanism at 40 hours and corn-cobbed my motor. $2500 in repairs and Yamaha would not return my calls even though this is a fleet issue and they have a re-designed replacement part. I was surprised as several years ago they stepped-up on a valve issue and repaired my...
MMCDan Added a reply to New bike every year
6/16/2014 8:45am Exactly. Ever have a four stroke eat a valve? It's tough paying $2k - $3k to get a bike running again after one of these events and when you're done you still have an old bike worth the same as it was before the meltdown. Resale is another reason. I buy bikes early in the model year, ride them a...
MMCDan Added a reply to Team Pro Circuit
5/28/2014 8:33am Probably an apples-to-oranges comparison, but I've had very poor experiences with PC products and services lately, to the point that I will no longer use them. I had them rebuild a motor on a 450 and the wrist pin broke within 15 hours of the overhaul. Very strange and can't say I have ever had that problem in the past...
MMCDan Added a reply to 2014 yzf 250 owners....
5/4/2014 7:00am I run 13/50 for gearing, have an FMF pipe, TwinAir Powerflow filter and some minor intake cam mods by Dan Crower. The engine didn't need much but these few mods made a good engine better. FYI - I had trouble with several aftermarket countershaft sprockets. They said they fit a 2014 but when tightened the sprocket would not turn. I...
MMCDan Added a reply to Knee guards
4/10/2014 10:11am I have been wearing the EVS SX01 braces for years and, for me, they are a good compromise between full-blown knee braces and knee guards. They are cheaper, not as bulky, won't shred your graphics (as bad) and you don't need a sock.
MMCDan Added a reply to Has anyone tried these Emig lock-on grips yet?
3/26/2014 7:18am The end material appears to be the same as the grip itself but is very durable. I use them on all of my bikes and they have survived numerous crashes and still look great. Honestly I thought these grips were a novelty at first but I am really impressed by how well they hold up. Note on installation: you will...
Never again, not even if it was free. It took them 2 weeks to do their carb mods for my 250SX plus I got a ton of attitude when I called for a status check. "Isn't too friendly" is being quite generous. Hopefully you don't get the father/son tag team treatment like I did. I'd have them send your motor...
MMCDan Added a reply to How to NOT remove KTM 't-piece'
2/21/2014 7:48pm Agreed. I would guess some of the folks giving this guy a hard time have never tried to remove/re-install one of these things. Horrible design.
MMCDan Added a reply to Rd 2 Chap moto commercial?
1/15/2014 4:49pm This. I bet most of you condemning this commercial are the same ones laughing when Trey Canard (and others) goon ride. I see plenty of beginner riders that ride like goons but I guess it's OK to make fun of them, right?
