Bowers got pushed outside on the start of the main and was one whole rythm section behind on the first lap. I didn't notice them commentate on him having a bad start. He quickly worked his way up to the pack and made some good passes until he went down.

BigT We tried to come chat it up with you guys in the pits but security was giving us problems about not having credentials! Couldn't figure out how to get by them. Tyler looked strong all day. If he can get that good start it seems he has enough speed and fitness to get some good results. Good luck at...

I was watching Hansen in practice. One lap he cased the rythm section before going under the bridge. The landing jerked his hand off the bar and I noticed it looked like it hurt him after that. It made me wonder if it bothered him all night because he did not seem to be pushing as hard after that happened.

Yet you guys bitch and complain when the rider gets a camera interview and takes the time to answer with a scripted list of sponsor thank yous.

Newmann is right. You did something wrong the the shift ratchet detent pawls. I can eliminate a problem inside the tranny because it wouldn't shift at all, or the countershaft wouldn't spin, if you put the shifting forks in wrong. The detent pawls are not ratcheting around the drum and locking themselves on the sides of the drum. This gives...

If he could ride a main like he's rode those heats where he has rode great and won, he could would win a main.

Maybe it's Davalos' mechanic.....? Or maybe Davalos is difficult to work with on bike setup and is picky and critical of everything, compounded exponentially when Davalos' confidence is lacking...? He HAS had alot of bike problems, but he's also created alot of problems for himself. When the team is providing identical bikes between teamates, the uncommon denominator here is each...

No problem! It feels great when my advice helps someone solve a problem. The front number plate bolts to the top triple clamp so i am assuming you are talking about the plastic strap that wraps around the crossbar pad on conventinal bars? I usually just take a dremel tool with a cutting wheel and cut the strap off at...

It all just depends. I've seen some bikes that need the cranks between 50-100 hours but then i've seen other bikes that have been well cared for pushing close to 200 hours on the stock crank. The truth always lies in the crank - all you need to do is measure the "play" like it says in the manual. If...

2 things to check with these problems. 1) The crank bearings are not down far enough in the cases. If you pressed in new bearings, you need to make sure the bearing is down all the way and laying flat. If the bearings aren't quite down all the way, they can sandwich against the crank when you pull the cases...

Yeah it's weird how there is such a depreciation value for race bikes. The owner knows what they are worth and a racer looking to buy a bike like that knows what the bike is worth, but it's so difficult to get fair price for the bike. Kit supension is a good example I see alot. A Showa "a" kit...

Thanks Tim. When would be a good time to stop by? I will probably be in the pits during general pit admission time. Will you guys be under the Babbit's truck? Or how can I find you?

Why would they need to do that? PC dominates the lites class and is basically contending the championship on both coasts every year. Kawi has a dominate rider in Villopoto in the 450 class. Every year Kawi has a legit chance of sweeping every title when all riders are healthy. I just think it's understood that PC and Kawi have...

Are the KTM guys running the same rear tire size on the 350 and 250?

Tyler, what kind of changes do you guys go through coming from AX into SX? Do you know of any other AX riders from your team, or the series, coming to SX this weekend? Could you hook up a signed jersey at STL that I could donate to my local MC club?

Besides the crank brngs and seals, there usually are not problems with the other brngs and seals. Once you get everything apart and cleaned, work some clean oil into the brngs and spin them to make sure they ride free on the races and don't feel notchy or gritty. Inspect all the seals for nicks and weathering. Honda OEM seals...

This is a problem all tracks usually have, however rocks in the lower states do not have that big of rocks in the topsoil. The farther down your club digs with the disc and tractor equipment is going to turn up more rocks. It will be an endless battle, but the only way to do it is to get a...

Ahhh the days of $3 jets....

You sir read my mind!
