4/29/2024 5:06am That’s interesting! How did you ultimately find out it was your clamps bent? I’ve had some pretty good crashes that I thought for sure would have bent the clamps

4/20/2024 1:50pm I want to say static sag was around 35 mm. It was within range anyway. Bike is a 2021 yz450f… yes aluminum frame

4/19/2024 9:31am Fork compression 12 out rebound 9 out fork height I believe I already have flush… I’d have to check sag is at 105, 12 out comp, 8 out for rebound, 1.5 out for lo speed comp ride vet b/c level, mostly sand tracks with some hard pack sections

4/19/2024 9:20am I haven’t really, hadn’t really thought too hard until I saw this video… kind of looks like it’s packing a bit. I had it revalved and set up but the guy hasn’t really been able to watch outside of when I first had it done and hasn’t been super helpful since.

4/19/2024 8:54am Hey all - my forks are harsh. Mostly over braking bumps and occasionally I’ll get headshake. My forks are sprung for me, sag is correct, I’ve messed with the clickers some… mostly compression. I’ve tried staying on throttle, pulling clutch in, putting weight further back to keep front end light and nothing seems to fix it. Pretty much have put...

mxracer591 Started a new thread 21 Yamaha YZ450f Rebuild
12/26/2023 6:28pm Hey all - rebuilding my 450 for the first time. Started pulling everything apart and for the most part everything looks fine but hours wise it’s time to replace some stuff. I did notice these wear marks on the inside of the case tonight, doesn’t seem like anything should even be in this area. Bottom of the piston and skirt...

mxracer591 Started a new thread Stubborn wheel bearing
11/26/2022 5:55pm Hey guys… trying to change my wheel bearings on my 21 yz450f. Front was a pain, but got it done. Wheel spacer was able to be moved aside and bearings were able to be popped out with a screwdriver and a mallet from the other side. Rear however is not going so smoothly. Spacer is pretty tight, can only move...

11/26/2022 5:05am Yes I did. Spent a good amount of time last night with the torch and slide hammer. Still no luck. Going to take it somewhere so it can be someone else’s headache.

8/28/2022 9:28pm I know this topic has been done before but looking for more insight. I’ve been running tech 7s for a few years. Never had any issues, boots are comfortable, price is great, etc. A few weeks ago I came up way short on a double. Ended up with a displaced fracture of medial malleolus of my left tibia. As I...

mxracer591 Started a new thread Wrist injuries/braces
2/17/2022 5:20pm So last weekend I broke a bone in my wrist. “Tiny chip-like avulsion fracture of the triquetrum” Words from the hospital portal Any idea how long something like this takes to heal? First race of the season is on April 3rd and I’m getting a new bike I wouldn’t mind riding at least a few times before the race. I’ve...

9/25/2021 6:59am I agree but having someone at the track always to set your device isn’t always a possibility. That’s literally the only reason I bought this one.

9/25/2021 5:55am I triple checked, even tried installing it on my stock fork guard
mxracer591 Started a new thread Protaper SELA issue
9/24/2021 3:22pm I know there have been threads on this before, as I just read through them… but I’m posting my issue here. I have a 22 Fc450 and just bought the device. Spent an hour with the instructions and installing it, removed my graphics, used the proper pieces for my bike, checked the alignment (and even tried a few mm either...

mxracer591 Started a new thread Fork oil level
5/14/2021 4:50am Long story short I just had my suspension in for service and revalving, got probably 10 hours on it and I lost the air bleeder screw on the start of a race over the weekend. I finished the moto then replaced the screw. Should I be concerned with oil level? Dirt inside? (Not that I think a ton would have...

5/3/2021 4:15pm I didn’t notice any performance issues, but also I’m a back of the pack C rider so... not really that dialed in yet. Maybe I’ll just plan on having it serviced at the end of the season. I had those sweet motion pro bleeders already, apparently I should of checked how tight they were 🤷♂️
