samifan Added a reply to The worst bike you've ever owned
11/4/2022 6:42am Funny, this was one of my favorite bikes! Immediately felt super comfortable on it. But I had just came off by far the worst bike I've owned (2006 RM 250) that was a death trap. I've always wondered if the 250sxf was actually as good as I felt it was, or if it was just because I was coming off...

samifan Added a reply to The worst bike you've ever owned
11/3/2022 6:45am 2006 RM 250. Heard so many great things about them, but being a high school kid and broke at the time, bought someone else's well used, powder coated everything, project. Looked pretty cool from 10ft away... The thing had a light switch attached to a jet engine, and something was definitely goofy with the suspension. Was young and dumb at...
samifan Started a new thread Neken SFH Grip Install
10/1/2022 1:43pm So I picked up a bike with the Neken SFS and SFH setup. I like the handlebars and grips, but I've torn several new grips on installation when sliding them on with almost no pressure. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch, or maybe some that had been sitting for a while, but even with being very gentle...

9/29/2022 8:53am Well, I just bought a KTM 350 this spring with the full SFS triple clamps and SFH bars and grips. I hadn't ridden for a good 4 years, but jumped back in when I switched jobs and moved much closer to tracks. I don't have much to compare it to, but the biggest thing is my hands have yet to...

9/29/2022 8:49am Thanks for all the replies! I'll try the vent method, and I think I'll go with real grip glue and see how that works!
samifan Added a reply to Motocross tracks located in town?
6/17/2021 9:52pm Moto City Raceway in Little Falls, MN. Right across from Wal-mart and Pizza Ranch! One of my all-time favorite locations. Interestingly, haven't ever really gelled with the track but being right in town is so convenient it makes up for it.

7/14/2019 8:00pm Copied the langston look as well on my previous 250. One of my first idols as a little kid was Langston on the 111, knew I had to have that bike. This is the closest I got to it! 
samifan Started a new thread ISO Can Am MX-4 or MX-5 370
4/17/2019 8:23pm Looking to pick up a late 70's Can Am MX-4 or MX-5 370 to race Evo motocross and hair scrambles. I have a fleet of early 70's can-am race bikes that I inherited from my father (one 125 and three 250's), but no evo or open bike so I'm on the hunt. Not looking for the 5k museum piece, but...

4/10/2019 12:11pm I'm 6'7" and use a 2tall stage 2 kit. It has its advantages and disadvantages, but for me I feel so much more comfortable on the bike with the kit that it more than makes up for the disadvantages. Kit is on a KTM 250sx and I ride primarily mx. Just my thoughts!

samifan Added a reply to Putting the size LaRocco’s Leap into perspective
10/9/2018 12:51pm Coldenhoff was killing it on the single before the leap all day, not sure how he stayed so low without scrubbing. He could carry SO much more speed then just about everyone else. Closest was probably Tomac 3rd moto but his was more of a scrub which caused him troubles at times. I was posted right at the section all...
samifan Added a reply to 02-08 crf450 still good?
9/23/2018 9:54am Last year my main race bike went down right before Loretta’s Area Qualifier. Jumped on our 07 crf 450 that we still have laying around and was actually a tad quicker on it over the length of a moto. Keep in mind I was getting off a current KTM 250sx two stroke, and had to change my classes up (from...
samifan Started a new thread Morini Franco Motor
7/17/2018 10:57am Can anyone help me ID this Morini Franco 50cc motor? It's in an early 90's LEM 50cc LX3. It is very similar to the Morini Franco s5 but the bottom end is a bit different. Some tell-tale differences is the shape of the cases on the flywheel side, as well as the traditional facing kick-starter, unlike almost all the Morini...

7/17/2018 10:57am Here's the only two photos I've came across so far of the motor. One post says it's a s5-gs motor but I haven't been able to find anything on that when searching. 
samifan Added a reply to Have you ever had a bike that held you back?
5/18/2018 12:10pm Same here with my 03 RM 250. I never got comfortable on that bike. The motor was a rocket but I could never get it to handle. And like you said, the fact that everyone seems to love that bike just made it all the more frustrating. Moved on to a 2006 KTM 250sxf and within about 2 laps was...
samifan Added a reply to The C Class Sandbagger
4/20/2018 8:34am Not going to lie, I probably have been in this category for the last couple of years. I've been a career C rider, not very fast, scared, sketchy, etc. but something clicked 2 years ago and I made some big strides forward. I went from 1 career district win on 65's years back to winning a half dozen in one...
