Spinnin t's Added a reply to Crank options for kx 107 or 109 supermini
8/21/2014 11:15am I'm just old school in the way that if something fails to be what it is supposed to be I just don't go back. As far as to what I build.. I don't do it for a living anymore. Just when someone ask and it's something I want to do or worth doing I'll take it on. Mx was my...

8/20/2014 10:58pm This is my deal with these products... Hot rods and wiseco.... When I first got a handle on engines,not just the basics but the machine work and truing side, back in 2005. These products did not fit my "style" of building. The cranks was .003 out of true out of the box. After I got them true within .0005 they...

8/20/2014 10:22pm Just my opinion.... Your obviously racing for the love. Just race the age group classes. 30cd and 25abcd. When I was 20 I was a solid b rider. Even then I couldn't wait to be 25 to race with guys that had to work on Monday. Something about being 20 then and battling with 15 16yo kids made it not...

8/20/2014 8:37am Wiseco is fine for the guy that works on his own stuff. But when you use 50 a year and 10 are shit... Well you go to a more reliable brand. I will say the best piston I have ever used was a wiseco. But after getting the right guy drunk after a national and it being a prototype team...

8/20/2014 8:07am My first rule is if you have to break it in it was sh*t to begin with. But on a side note if you use a forged piston mainly in a 2t and have the clearances set to the tight side of the book.. It needs a tank of fuel at least. It just has to do with the rate...

8/19/2014 9:26am Wossner is forged also. Never used there stuff before. A forged piston if set up tight needs more "break in" time than 45 min. Reason I said something about the morning practice is I assume it was a race day. Usually morning practice is deep and wet. If it gaulded in 4 courners it just didn't have enough clearance. I...

8/19/2014 7:12am Well if that's a wiseco piston and the bike had 45 minutes on it b4 morning practice. That don't help matters any. Usually morning practice is deep so that will put a load on the bike. , crapy wiseco needed more run it time, or it just got hot.

8/19/2014 4:14am I come across a lot of parents and riders and the question I get more than anything is... You think he can do it?? You think he can go pro? Only one time have a said yes. I don't mean local pro . I mean national level. I can name a 100 signs. That would not give anyone else a...

8/18/2014 2:49pm Hot rods and Wisco product is crap. For the best way you want to move crank pin location and do what we call a short rod stroker. A long rod stroker messes up the rod ratio and prove to be not the most reliable.

8/18/2014 2:35pm I didn't read every post. Sorry if I copy another post I didn't see. I've ridden both. Saying that here is pros and cons. I don't know the cost of each machine new. But the ktm is more so see what you can do with yam for that extra money. I like the way Yamaha handles. I like the way...

8/16/2014 8:14pm For the record.... I meant for this thread to be more comical. In all actuality the thread is incorrect from the start. It's not about signs of you kid making it. If you really want to know the deal breaker. Look in the mirror. If you won't drive 4 hours to and from a track with faster riders because your...
Spinnin t's Added a reply to Front End push 07 RM 250
8/16/2014 11:00am I also rode rm250's a lot. If you come off a 4stroke a 2t will push a little more. Have to steer with the throttle a bit more. Now your sag seems fine. Could bring that number up a bit for sand but I think everything is fine. Unless the compression tube in one of the forks is ripped out...

8/16/2014 10:47am Your right it don't have to be expensive. You probably done everything to the bikes yourself and skipped the $12 a quart oil and ran $12 a gallon oil and got the same results. Instead if buying new tires you may have flipped them around for a fresh edge. Most importantly you loved it as much as the riders. However...

8/15/2014 3:17pm I have a theory on the 13/14 yo beginners. It is very very possible to make it to the wp level. It's just a theory but I believe if a parent and a rider from day one get a plan and stick to a plan made by a mx know how.. They can qualify for a pro national event. It...

8/15/2014 1:29pm Goes back to the other real responses and not comical ones.... If they are young enough and actually work hard let them chase it. But if you have to tell them to work out and tell them to do everything it takes, well don't look good. I realized I couldn't make a living at the national level so I made...
