1/27/2012 1:47pm I fixed a 1997 KX60 for a neighbor. Rebuilt crank, top end... and it has a FMF pipe and silencer, stocker was tossed by original owner. The little 6 year old neighbor kid does not know how to keep this nice running engine on the pipe and his daddy is an old XR rider and thinks the '60 is not...

1/25/2012 10:15pm My son Robert makes some really unique sculptures out of metal and mentioned he has the time after the SX season to build some more. Back when he was in Cosmotology school and not able to compete every weekend he made several for the IFMA FMX tour where they were given away as 1st place trophies and the riders loved...

slider Started a new thread WER steering damper - not dampening
1/24/2012 6:44pm One of my boys bought a WER steering damper for his KTM off fleebay. The seller said "may need to be rebuilt"... so he gave an out. Anyhow, now that Robert has the unit mounted he finds out it has no dampening. He has bled it and even added 30wt shock/fork oil. Has anyone here opened one of these up...

11/6/2011 8:42pm Jim was one of the nicest riders in FMX. It was a very terrible day in Texas for his friends and ridding buddies, some of them were buddies for over 10 years.
We are speechless and traumatized and our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, brother, parents, friends and extended family that are coping with this loss.
The...

5/1/2010 9:17pm Whoa, someone actually remembers me? LOL LOL - right wrist is really bad. It locks up when I raced my '74 Elsinore a few times. I have to admit I was one fast SOB - till about 2 turns later when the clutch burned out. *eek* I am now into flying electric RC airplanes to satisfy my need for speed...

1/29/2010 9:24pm I know of a mech that is making around 80k for SX only. Now, before any of you put your $ down at MMI... only a few make this. Most do it for the love of the sport... Rick

1/4/2010 8:49pm I was into auto electrical for 14 years and during this time we hired 2 guys from a local tech school. Both did not last more than a few weeks. As I see it, you either got it or you don't. I did not need someone to teach me what a 17mm combo wrench is or how to use a...

4/17/2016 7:35pm Not funny. Sounded like when I was attacked by killer bees last year. Now, SX's and outdoors sound like a dairy farm in VT. Rick

12/1/2009 9:43pm lumpy, I am liking this over all other ideas. By 5mm thick you mean to narrow off the opening 2-3mm, right? Or do you mean to make a shim? The distance of 5mm longer head pipe to the stinger area won't matter much to the sound waves, am I correct? Rick

11/29/2009 7:02pm Thanks for the advise. The kid has a few years on the Y-Zingers I now own and can ride his bro's new RM65 much easier but not this KX yet. I will probably try the washer first as it is free *wink* and being there is a slight coolant leak around either the head or base of the cyclinder I...
