moto9 Added a reply to Hanging idle yz250x
6/12/2026 2:36am I have the same bike and had issues with a really finicky idle. I messed with jetting for hours and got it to idle consistently with a richer jetting setup and a 7 plug. However, it has a cold idle and a hot idle. So when cold I turn the idle screw out 5 turns, as it heats up I...

moto9 Added a reply to Kawasaki is bringing the two stroke back!
6/5/2026 12:57pm Yes it's been reveled, I don't think Kawasaki will produce enough bikes, so will getting one be an issue. I suspect they'll sell out quicker than dealers can get them. And, will dealers play the mark-up price game? You know...." We're only getting 2 this year so if you want one it's an extra $1500 or 2k"

6/5/2026 12:45pm Companies sometimes make mistakes, as long as they correct it without too much fuss and also they must stand by their products! They sent me the wrong seat cover, but after an email with a pic they quickly sent me the correct one. So I have a new Yamaha 2 piece seat cover that I have no use for it.

6/5/2026 12:39pm This is how you do business online! Other retailers should pay attention to this model. I’ve been a customer for 20 minutes and I’m blown away by their customer service. Highly recommend.

moto9 Added a reply to anyone else feel like all knee braces suck?
5/30/2026 9:46pm I hated the Astrisk carbon braces, light...yes, but really uncomfortable to wear and the hyper extension chips kept popping out. Even super glue wouldn't keep them in. I'm on the mobius now and I really like them, they feel comfortable and provide enough protection. I have a couple miniscus tears where my knee would buckle in certain situations, the braces...
moto9 Added a reply to Kawasaki is bringing the two stroke back!
5/26/2026 9:56pm Doc wob did a video on an estart efi cr 500 that utlizes the new crf chassis and many of the 4 stroke engine parts. All bolt together, no machining or welding required. Now, the kit wasn't cheap, but if they did a 300 and or 350 kits for sx and hard enduro, the company could build kits for just...

5/18/2026 11:07am Some carts are a bitch to service, changing seals and bushings... notably the Showa. For sure change the oil, but unless they are leaking or show signs of wear...or some problem an oil change is it. Now, if they have a lot of hours or used by a top pro, checking the shims, seals, orings etc at least on the...

5/17/2026 12:38am You could use fluid film on all electrical connectors. Now... There's a controversial debate as to which is better, fluid film or di-electric grease. I did some real world research on this topic and most mechanics in the salt belt only use fluid film, for a few reasons. Di-electric grease, is non conducting and many techs have said it caused...

5/11/2026 11:45am Could be the reflash, contact motox and see if they can restore it back to stock...as a test. The mapping might be too aggressive for your conditions, most of these bikes run different from each other right out of the crate. A reflash doesn't always work for every bike across the board, yes it ran good for a short time...

moto9 Added a reply to Does this look like crank seals?
4/4/2026 9:38am To be sure, measure the in and out of the transmission fluid after a few hrs on the bike. A leak down test is another way to confirm a c seal leak, for that it's best to pull the clutch cover and hit the seal area with some soapy water. In many cases a bad crank seal indicates a bad...
moto9 Added a reply to Forks bottoming out after factory connection work
3/21/2026 1:36am One or two rates on the springs won't have much effect on bottoming, oil level...ya The bottoming issue could be a few different things, depending on what they did internally. Valving sure, defective cartridge, or something with the hydro stops, hard to know without inspecting it. It's easy to check blown cart seals as they will leak oil down the...

moto9 Added a reply to Knee Brace Suggestion for Chicken Legged Open Practice Pro
3/16/2026 6:55pm Ya, I talked to them too and...no help. The hinge and hyper extension clip is a poor design, especially for the money. If you want a minimalist, light brace...sure, I'll give you that but, just don't expect much in the way of protection when you need it. Those crappy clips pop out in a hyper extension event, might as well...

3/14/2026 9:44pm My 2nd post here. Occasionally I'll yoyo, but I keep it with in 5lbs. 1. Carnivore is the best diet to loose weight. 2. Fasting is a super beneficial addition to the carnivore diet. My work outs are light....mostly light cardio with minimal strength training due to joint issues. So, you can loose weight quickly without crazy hard work outs...

3/14/2026 9:33pm Yes, I agree on mobius ! Very good brace👍 Stay away from Astrisk, I have a pair of the latest carbon. I found them to be uncomfortable, the fit feels cheap and not very protective. Also, the hyper extension clips refused to stay in place, they popped out on every ride. I tried to glue them in place and they...
