1/3/2026 3:40am
I put one on my 23 300sx. I’ve only ridden it once since I installed it But it definitely is more snappy and revs quicker. Cost Me $50 for the pump and $8 for a piece of hose. I wired it to come on whenever the engine is running. It’s one speed (full speed). It does take a little while longer for it to warm up but so far so good. I removed all the guts for the stock water pump as well. If you’re even a little mechanically inclined you could instal one yourself. I still need to 3d...

12/17/2025 8:16am I saw the Dirtbike review where they played with jetting and needle to be more of a ripper. The power was a bit much and ended up having slower GH lap times than the 250RX.

12/9/2025 10:31pm Remember when DTI requirement for a home purchase was 30% and 20% minimum down? Also interest rate increases would equate to lowering of home prices. Now they either hold or go up no matter the interest rate direction. The only price drop comes with whatever creates a buyers market. I remember in '06 watching the news where low-ish income blue...

12/7/2025 12:10pm There was a point where middle class watched "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and decided they could get some of that with 2nd mortgages. Yeah, vacations, remodels. It was at a time when banks eased credit, bc they knew two household incomes wadn't going to allow enough consumer market growth. Imagine, our president is floating the creation of a...

12/7/2025 10:43am No lie right, And middle class at that. I'm surprised I'm still seeing plenty of young dudes with new bikes and trucks at the local tracks. It's more than difficult to adapt to the ever devolving economy without any connections simply has little to do with recent decades. But hey, No Choice, it's in the contract. Even Matty B is...

12/7/2025 8:35am Especially considering AI obstructing your path from burger joint flipper to Coder!? Don't go to law school neither, bc law firms won't be hiring entry level attorneys, which in turn leads to law firms running out of experienced lawyers. Less lawyers can't be a bad thing😉

11/26/2025 8:15pm Do yourself a favor and run the best PWK mod'd by STIC. It's the STIC Super X PWK 38/40mm. Only try it if you want the power to hit right off idle and pull harder than a $5k race build. Pump gas and no engine mods needed. Just a heads up. These guys had to de-tune from their sled banned...

This one has porting, head work, reeds, exhaust, aftermarket ignition and stic block fitted, and revs to the moon! Love this bike and great fun to ride, but no comparison to my 2019 TC125 with the same mods, and the gearbox is a real weak point on it. If I was to do it again I’d have kept the RM stock and built up a steel frame YZ125 with modern SSS suspension, they’re the best mix of old-school feel with good performance and parts availability

11/4/2025 8:03am Good to see another STIC user. What size tube and needle combo are you using? I favor the 115 tube and JD white for the big gun power. Strongest settings IME for small bores look to be 52p/200m and needle @1 clip. NE3W needle or JD red for the 113.5 tube. FYI, the latest version steps up the performance, as...

11/2/2025 8:23am Your hips should tilt to stick you arse out...should feel exaggerated. Don't crouch much, this should give you less emphasis on the arms with that head fwd and arse sticking out. Watch Jett and Sexton, it looks different, but it works.
TDC Added a reply to YZ250 2000 Lectron carb…should I ditch it?
10/28/2025 10:04am I have a buddy that would agree with you. He switched from a STIC PWK carb that overwhelmed him in its power gains. He said the key for the Pro was the Xcelerator needle. The STIC goes for the same price as the Pro basically, but it can be tuned for gnar tech trail to Pro MX level. Mike Alessi...

10/27/2025 11:47am Dude, the STIC Super X PWK 38/40mm carb is magic for small bores. The fuel uptake right off idle is very aggressive and it creates a cooled vaporous mix. I know 125 riders that have removed the less potent meter block version. The power delivery character is linear, but it is abrupt and will pull like a ported big-bore kit...

10/27/2025 11:20am Run your rear axle back farther. This will also increase weight bias to the front a bit, so more traction.
