mxtech1 Added a reply to Austrian 450s Cost of Oil Changes
12/7/2021 3:10pm Let's not turn this post into a Rotella / oil service interval pissing match. 10w50, JASO T903 MA2 oil changed every 10 hours is KTM's recommendation. Let's just leave it at that.

12/7/2021 3:04pm FGR What you see on the list is 10w50 oils that meet JASO T903 MA2 requirements available on Motosport.com, plus Blud racing directly from their site. I double checked, Motosport does not *currently* list 10w50 Maxima ProPlus, only 10W30/40 & 20w50
mxtech1 Added a reply to Motoklik - New robust suspension data system for motocross.
12/2/2021 12:28pm Jens, You have created a really nice kit here. I am very impressed with the products you selected to collect the data and the overall system architecture of how the sensors/data/App function. WELL DONE!!! Couple of thoughts/questions: One question I have, since this is all just time-series data, can a session file be exported so that data analysis can be...
mxtech1 Added a reply to 57 Motorcycles Stolen From KTM Canada Warehouse
10/23/2021 6:36am The payload generated by the KTM registration software allows the ECU domains to “talk to each other”. This allows the bike to start and run normally. Without the payload, the software prohibits CAN communication between the different domains (TPS, ignition, fuel system, etc). I don’t think it’s as simple as hacking into the ECU software and writing a false code...

It's refreshing to see a good old fashioned American vs. Euro pissing match instead of the vax , no vax ones we've been seeing lately. Please continue.

10/13/2021 12:42pm Amazing. One of the youngest 250 champions in our sport, who grew up riding and racing all over the world, and who is directly speaking from experience of racing Amateur on both continents before turning Pro, lays out facts that our system in America is flawed, and could be better. Yet, the Vital experts say he’s wrong and turn it...
mxtech1 Added a reply to New to sport - is it the worst time of year to start??
10/13/2021 12:34pm Honestly, heading into the off season is a great time to start. It gives you time to sort everything out and be ready to go in Spring. Once you decide what bike to buy, you can then start buying all the other essentials like gear, maintenance chemicals and tools, spare parts, hard parts, etc. being able to spread out those...

10/10/2021 8:47am Pretty sure the stat you are looking at is the median age of owner for all motorcycles, which would include street bikes. This absolutely skews the data and isn’t relevant to the off-road discussion. Just an FYI, sometimes when you are Google searching, you have to go beyond the first link that pops up in the search queue 🙄 Your...
Haiden and the Deegans have the biggest social media following our sport has ever seen. Bobby Regan is a businessman and 100% sees the value in that. Greater exposure to the team, more sponsor viewership, etc. What the Deegans bring to the table are more than just a chance for wins. As an OEM or team owner, you have to...

Deegan needs to go to Europe and ride EMX for a year with a small team to harden up and get some real experience. Won't matter what 250F he's on. As it is he would be lucky to make a SX LCQ. The top end of AMA racing - MX and SX - is increasingly being dominated by riders with plenty of Euro experience because the US amateur system is soft.

10/10/2021 8:11am KTM Ag will be well ahead of 2035. They may not be 100% EV, but I think they will have EV models in each size bike for all disciplines before 2030. They are already MILES ahead of the competition with their e50s. Kaw, Yam, Suz, Honda will be slower to adopt, but they are further ahead at this point, as...

10/10/2021 8:03am Newsflash: ~74% of statistics are made up or falsified. Do you have a source that shows 80% of all bikes sold are vet owned? Newsflash: The push for WE models has nothing to do with the Vet crowd. The OEMs found a very inexpensive way to improve profit margin, without requiring massive R&D investment. In my area, I see far...

Yep all the else old farts saying electric will kill pro racing because the noise are only seeing it from there myopic view point. The next generations will know electric only. They’ll think it’s weird we use to have gas engines.

There are kids riding today on STACYC's or KTM Mini E that will have fun ridding dirt bikes for a lifetime and never use a drop of oil or gas.

I'm old school but love technology and love riding dirt bikes. I was also a Regional Manager at Alta and now work for Kawasaki. I'm willing to bet that every person that has a negative opinion about an electric motocross bike has never ridden one. The only way you are going to know if you like an electric motocross bike is the ride one. I started on a QA-50 to Z50 to racing an XR75 in 1973. Turned pro in 1980 and have had almost 100 bikes. The Alta was absolutely the most fun bike I have ridden. My reasons...

mxtech1 Added a reply to New JT aluminum sprockets?
10/8/2021 8:28am Same material, but that doesn't automatically guarantee JT is better than Renthal (or vice-versa) heat treat processes could be different material specification could be different (material microstructure, composition/chemical requirement) All of these material properties are controlled by the engineering specifications for each company. When they source raw material from the steel mill, they will provide a spec range that must...
mxtech1 Added a reply to DV 94 build for sale
10/6/2021 10:19am $4800 is a fair price for both the seller and buyer. If it were a Factory replica, then maybe the price could be a lot higher, but it doesn't really have any exotic parts on it but it's just a solid, clean rebuild. Someone will get a nice bike for $4800 and a cool story to tell that it was...
