Steel Added a reply to Convincing My Parents to Race
3/4/2018 10:46pm Sounds like you have a dad that loves you and is scared of the results/consequences of your racing. As a dad with two teens that ride practice days, I'm the same way to some extent. I have let my son race a few times, very nerve racking. As a parent you want to see your kids do well in life(get...

Steel Started a new thread KX 85 Cylinder still okay to use?
10/26/2017 6:44pm Hi Guys, I'm rebuilding my sons KX85 again after only 53 hours on Bottom end. The bottom end does not seem to be getting enough oil. Right now the rod has lots of up and down vertical play. It looks like it got hot on one side of Crank. The bearings and seals are still good. Couple of questions: 1...

Steel Added a reply to KX 85 Cylinder still okay to use?
10/26/2017 6:26pm 100% positive, on the up and down movement, might be a 1/4" or more of play. It is bad enough that it made the bike stall at the track. My best guess is the rod is not getting enough oil, overheated in that area and stretched it. Everything else looks to be in good/great condition. Right now just deciding if...

. Next time i will order it wrong the local dealer. For the cylinder, do i take it to a car/hot rod engine shop and have them do it? Or look to my local MX...

9/23/2017 8:44pm Thanks Slipdog. Would you still ride the bike tomorrow if you were in my shoes? I'll order the parts this week and install. Just a bummer, worked on the other bikes today, so it would be a bummer if we had one less bike to ride.

9/23/2017 7:43pm Hi Guys, I have a 1998 yz125 2 stroke that I want to bring to the track for the family to ride tomorrow. I just took apart the left fork, to replace the seal and dust seal etc. After taking apart the top part of tube,right under the air bleeder screw was about 25 rubber pieces that were broken up...

Steel Added a reply to Hey Dealers: Buying in the next 48 hours, give me your quotes..
9/4/2015 11:44am I agree 100% about the Milestone MX shop. I have bought a kids Fly helmet, goggles, throttle cable, gas hose, spark plugs and Maxima 2 stroke oil from them. Their prices are low compared to my local dealers. The throttle cable on my son's kx 85 was less than $20.00 there. I expected and would have paid $50.00 to get...

9/3/2015 5:47pm A $300 profit on a year-long $8000 investment is not enough to keep food on the table. For all you people who suck at math, that's a 3% profit that took us a year to get. You might want to check your math again, Einstein. Maybe that is why you are losing money selling bikes.......

1/18/2015 7:55am Sometimes the officials need to set an example to get people back in line. If Reed would've done the elbow in a real corner, he would've been fine. Reed's little elbow as he say's was a pussy move, to a rider not prepared for contact. He noticed Canard with 1 hand on his helmet and took him out. I listened...
