I have a Kawasaki shop here in MN and I with heavy discounts built this for less than a KTM group bike. Still not light/fast enough.

Pull the tank and check to see if the valve cover crank vent hose came off or has a hole in it. Something up higher on the engine is leaking and it’s dribbling down the back bone of the frame.

I see the numbers that are reported by every OEM, and dirt bike sales are definitely declining all across the US.

In comparison to the 70's & 80's there is absolutely NO comparison in interest. It doesn't matter what region you are in. There are fewer places to ride and fewer races to attend. Honda sold almost 20,000 1974 CR125's and at least that many XR75's in 1973. Yamaha was equally successful with the JT-1, GT80, and the first 5 years of the YZ80. Even Maico sold over 5,000 490's just in 1981. The motorcycle industry is a mere shadow of those numbers today. And the Japanese have reduced development and production to match sales because of it.

Thats not next season. Those changes are for 2027

I’ll take it

What exactly is wrong with wealth transferring to the rich? If I own a factory, employ people, pay suppliers, innovate and produce, shouldn't wealth "transfer" to me? Shouldn't being rich be a goal rather than a scarlet letter of shame? Or do you think wealth should transfer to the trailer parks? The poor already have free school lunches, food programs, free health insurance, housing programs, education programs, isn't all that a wealth transfer from the rich? The poor pay no taxes, actually with EIC many get extra back in taxes by the thousands, so money for the programs for the...

Was going to downvote you until I noticed your swing arm.

You are correct, you don't need kit forks, you would like them even if they are not an improvement, if you don't spend the money on things you enjoy, your wife will spend the money of things she enjoys instead.

This is exactly correct, when the denominator increases (aka money is created), then in order to maintain balance the numerator (aka the cost of goods) must increase. This is know as currency debasement, and the only reason we don't see the US dollar absolutely collapsing on a global scale is because every other major economic power followed the exact same playbook and devalued their currency at a similar rate. These fucks devalue your money, then have the audacity to ask you to "pay your fair share" in taxes on top of stealing your wealth out from under you, if they're...

The very definition of inflation is an expansion in the money supply. The money supply was expanded by almost 40% during the scamdemic, thus making the value of the money substantially less. Keep in mind that the USSA is on a debt based monetary system, a Ponzi scheme, and it necessitates an ever larger increase in the money supply. And the Federal Reserve is a private bank and the cause of almost all issues in the world. Won't be long until an ounce of gold buys a new dirt bike, keep stacking!

Liberals like to blame all of the their failed policies on corporate greed. You can’t continually print money and not expect to get ravaged by inflation.

That's what happens when you give the general population free time and money. Miscalculation on supply chain with COVID, and then expediting and permanent inflation. MSM doesn't seem to comprehend that even if inflation goes to 0 it doesn't reverse the previous inflation and price hikes. In reality nothing was free, it was only borrowed with high interest.
