People demonise the carburettor specifically, but as mentioned above some bikes require constant fiddling, then another bike with the same carb can be mostly set and forget. The entire package matters for good carburation. It's often the manufacturers fault for bad carb experiences, spec'ing incorrect slides, silly rich/lean jets as stock, or letting the bike leave the factory with massive squish numbers or badly set ignition timing etc. Personally I like the old school carb, it used to be a part of the overall package of speed. If you were smart, new your bike well and could tune for temps...

Yz250 is a great bike and has stood the test of time. But it objectively falls short of the modern 2stroke.

Ricky is the great of ALL time not the greatest of HIS time

Sorry, Jett is a beast, but he is no RC. I friend who worked for team Yamaha told me this story. He said after Friday practice(the classes had a combined open practice back then) at GH in 1997, Doug Henry came back to the truck and all he could talk about was that "Carmicheal kid" blowing by him coming down Mt. St. Helen. And how who couldn't believe anyone could send it that hard and no way would he could survive a complete outdoor season etc.. The bottom line, RC had one prime directive- GOAT or death. And he made...

I bought a used CR250 and my friend bought a Beta RX350. If the Kawi was released I would have considered it. Hard to hang out for something not even knowing what it is exactly.

Plus it's not even about checking bolts. To the best of my knowledge, the issue is about the clamps covering the full 360 degrees of the bar. You can't have that, because it will never be tight. The radius of one or both parts extends too far, it needs a gap under the bolt in order to provide clamping force. If that really is the issue, folks could probably fix this themselves by milling a small amount from the clamp face.

Chase stayed at home last summer. That goes against "fulfilling" the contract ones signed that everyone keeps repeating as breaking it. Technically probably both did but also none of them since one was "injured" and the other "did his best". Same with Webb, didnt fulfill what he was contracted for (outdoors).

Dude was concussed, came in hurt, crashed some more, he wasn’t his peak. He missed races and stepped back in you can’t tell me that doesn’t take the edge off him. But sure let’s say he had sextons number. Who else was there? Plessinger? Like come on, this seasons line up is disgusting compared to 23

vdrsnk04 wasn’t downplaying Jett’s accomplishment. They are saying that the class was thinned out, which it was. This season, the class will have Jett, Hunter, Prado, Eli, Sexton, and Deegan. You also have Lucas Coenen coming for three rounds. No one is going to go 22-0 in that field. So anyone saying if Deegan doesn’t go 22-0, he’s already behind Jett are making a weak argument. Now if Jett goes 22-0, it will be the greatest feat in the history of the sport and I will eat my words.

Roczen was part time MX at best, Sexton wasn’t full season, no ET3, no Hunter at the level he is on now, no Prado, I can keep going. It wasn’t a stacked up field as it is now, not even close.

You’re trying to make the situation different than any other job. Did the Job interview, got the tour of the place, got to sit behind the new desk in the new office. Started Job, it sucked. Tried and realized the culture at Kawi was going to be different than all his other jobs he had. Asked for an exit, realized only one option to get out of a 3 year commitment. You can all not like the option he used to get out of a business contract. But the fact of the matter is he wanted out, got out and...

Well they’re doing a pretty good job of pushing me from Libertarian to Anarchist that’s for sure.

Sooo made a bit of progress over the last two days, went to pick up the engine and a few parts more. First of all I put the engine on the frame to take some measurements and sketch a few things to prepare all the necessary brackets for the engine. I will post everything once I’ve got it done. The tab for the brake pedal soring needs to be removed, along with the casting mark on the right side of the swing arm as it is close to the engune case. The engine is already open in order to speed...

"did he quit on the team or leave at the end of his contract… " Im not taking sides here but from what I remember last outdoors Sextons own team seemed to be puzzled as to why he was out so long.

If they would have let him out, like others have done when it's not working - it wouldn't have had to go that far. Chase and Webb already taken "extended vacations" when they didn't want to ride. Their teams let them do that. He is the one that walked out on millions of dollars. Doubt you would have paid your way out from a company even if it meant just losing 50k. Just watch this summer, when Chase will leave.

He disappeared for weeks or months it seemed like he quit. He stopped talking to the team entirely for months seems like not working with the team is quitting.. Did he try his hardest? Doesn’t seem like it when he missed race after race on Ktm and kawi with no injury mentioned. Seems like that’s quitting. I guess not tho

Cool concept but man I’m so sick of Ai & ChatGPT

Those pictures just cost us 100 gallons of freshwater and half an acre of rural farm land.
