There might be some differences if your comparing stock 05 vs stock 06 cdi's, but it's probably just mapping changes. I'm sure the electrical connections are the same. If i were you I would ask the seller for the brand and then call the company tech line to confirm. Also it might not be a bad idea to take your...

looks nice! Do all the big graphic companies use illustrator?

Honda V65 Magnas...............I hate them. Probably the only bike that i absolutely cringe at the thought of and hold a bitter grudge against. I had to do a carb job on one at one point while i was at a dealership. That was almost an 8 hour job for that pos. They have that carb pacakage so effing tight and...

I agree with you. College degrees do not hold as much prestige as they used to. It seems to me an associates degree now has about as much value as a high school diploma. Bachelor's degrees are about a dime a dozen now and are usually a pre-req for any decent paying job. I've been seeing that besides having a...

I was in the same boat you were when i was 18-19. hated the local community college and was wanting to do a mechanic gig. I considered MMI and really wanted to do it, but i was already a year into community college so i figured i would stick it out and get my degree before mmi. Well...I ended up...

I always use simple green and a green scotch bright pad. use a soft wire brush for the crevices. Always cleans everything up nicels without turning it into "bling"

Why do OEMs participate in factory level reacing then and offer contigency?

If you're going to compare apples to apples for Honda and KTM, KTM wouldn't have a chance. I'm not saying they can't make a good product, because they do, but if you convinced Honda to go all out and put every available resource they had into developing mx bikes....well my god it would be sickening. The financial aspect, engineering and...

Above all else, you have to realize they are bussiness-minded companies. They push the products that make them the most profit and drop products when profits are not high enough or continue to decline year after year. That's as simple as it gets. They don't care if their product is a motocross bike or sporks KTM is leading development right...

how about they just eliminate engineering changes and R&D work as well then??? Alot of what is learned at the track is not seen during R&D work or in computer design. Factory teams work very closely with OEM engineers. Everyone always talks about the trickle-down effect, but in reality, it's more like a trickle-up effect. What's learned this year may...

The main reason exhaust systems fail early is because people don't torque the bolts that hold the system in place. The exhaust sytem is not designed to be a stress-induced part of the frame. Over-tightening the mounting bolts will cause the welds and rivets to be stressed when the frame starts to flex because the forces are transferred directly into...

The initial setup to have a nice race quad is extreme. Even with the huge improvements the OEMs have made with better suspension and longer travel in the last few years, a guy still wouldn't want to race a stock quad at that level. You would instantly have the initial price of the quad (new or used) and you would...

You can acheive nearly the same results with a few adjustments that a flywheel weight produces without losing top end rev. change the position of the stator timing, adjust the tension on the powervalve, and go down on the rear sprocket -1 or -2 teeth. You can slightly de-tune the powerband but still keep the feeling of how quickly the...

I've used one from AC Racing and it fit up just as good as stock
