Never again. I have a brand new set for a 450 that I will give away for free (if you live by me) or ship (if you pay for shipping).

So, people are falling all over themselves to help some kid on an 85 drive a couple hundred miles to attend the Mini-O's but smoke an actual racer looking for a hand? After years of reading threads on this board I am still amazed. Raegan, I propose a new strategy: post on Vital that Christian is going to try to...

Go look up the 250 SX shifter fix videos on youtube and make sure you have all the parts and tools ready. I had the clutch side cover off almost as many times as I rode the bike.

MMCDan Added a reply to 14 YZ 450 anyone riding one

I've had one for about two months now and love it. Came off a 2013 RMZ450 and feel that the Yamaha turns almost as good and is much more stable. The backwards engine does have a different feel but I owned a 2012 YZF450 and knew what to expect. The suspension is great; I used the settings MXA recommended in...

MMCDan Added a reply to Open practice/gate fees in your area?

Man I feel for you. We spent 2 years in Murfreesboro and absolutely hated the weekend drive to AL/GA/KY. We enjoyed the tracks but not the 4-plus hour round trip in the truck. Earlier this week I read that Ballance MX shutdown so I guess there are even fewer options for middle TN. We are pretty spoiled here in the...

I put a 50-tooth sprocket on mine and it really helped. 2013 YZ450 sprocket fit just fine.

It's grown so boring and predictable. I'm tired of the same old intro's, pyrotechnics, podium interviews, t-shirt cannons, Monster girls (well, maybe not completely tired of them), pit party montages and race format; I'm tired of the start determining the race winner, knowing who's going to win the 450 championship by the time the series leaves CA and having one...

Another great job by Dan Crower. Our 2013 KX250F has about 40 hours so I dropped it off at Dan's shop for a top end inspection, new piston, etc and while he was in there Dan did a "mild" grind on the cams. Pretty good bump for a basically stock bike running on pump gas all for less than a...

MMCDan Added a reply to chaparral-opinions please

2/22/2013 10:33pm
I guess my expectations are a bit lower than most of the responders to this post, because I do believe that customer service is dead in America, so when I go to any business I expect shitty service and I'm rarely disappointed. But in Chaparral's defense, I've had my wheels scratched during tire changes, motors eat valves 10 minutes after...

Since I'm so fond of saying customer service is dead in America I think it's only fair that I acknowledge the great service and products from these guys. I've purchased a couple seat covers from them and am very impressed with the quality, fit and finish. As for service, the orders are filled promptly and accurately and responsiveness to customer...

Definitely give them a call. I liked the look of James' seat and some of the work Travis did for Weston Peick, so I e-mailed Travis asking about a gripper seat cover with colored ribs. 2 days later it's at my door and only $10 more than a standard seat cover. The seat looks great.
Perhaps my expectations are set a bit high by all the coverage this kid gets, but he just doesn't appear to be that fast in person. We get to see him ride often, including last week on a 250F at Milestone where there were plenty of current National 250F riders on the track for comparison, and he is a step...

MMCDan Added a reply to If it wasn't true, you'd have to laugh

8/1/2012 3:24pm
Varying track conditions or not, there is no way a true Novice should be within 5 - 10 seconds a lap of a multi-time MX/SX champion. I've got a 14 year-old running Novice now and I would be thrilled if his times were within 40 seconds a lap of RC. I don't agree with the Super Mini comparison either, as...

MMCDan Added a reply to Roger speaks MXDN

7/18/2012 6:11pm
Exactly. I'm pretty sure Roger has a good handle on Alessi's capabilities after managing him at Suzuki and KTM and I'd bet his decision is based on a bit more than just lap times or points standings. All I have to do is watch the Lakewood 2011 episode of Inside the Outdoors to remind myself why he wouldn't be on...
