Tech420 Added a reply to I want to ride MX. How do I convince my parents to let me, and where do I start? Any advice?
3/23/2014 6:24am Whoever said injuries aren't common is either slow as heck or doesn't ride MX. You will crash....a lot. Some will be worse than others. I have had worse injuries doing other sports, but to say you aren't going to get injured racing bikes while jumping bar to bar is insane. I will lay it down a couple times every time...

Tech420 Started a new thread Go to 4 stroke 250
2/24/2012 8:39am Hey guys I am new to the site and dirt bikes in general. I am switching over to dirt from racing sport bikes. I am comfortable on 2 wheels and am contemplating a 450. How much of a weight and power difference is there between a 250 and 450? I think I should probably start on a 250, but don't...

2/21/2012 10:25am ooo no doubt this was a great find for the price I paid. After a lot of research and question asking I was mainly looking at a yz 125 or a KTM 140sx. I just happened to come across this mint 20 hr 06. The owner wanted the bike for woods but it was too much for him. I tore...

1/25/2012 9:07am Are there things you can do to prolong engine life on a new bike? Would putting in aftermarket steel valves right away help?

1/24/2012 12:19pm Thank you for the help it was greatly appreciated. Now you make it seem like the motor is GUARANTEED to go. Do all motors let go? How often does a 4 stroke top end need to be replaced and how much does it cost?

1/24/2012 10:36am Could someone also give me a ballpark range for rebuild costs? What is regular maintenance for a 4 stroke? I am fairly good mechanically and could probably rebuild a 4 stroke top end myself.

1/23/2012 7:47am I am just stating that the technology does exist. MotoGP is obviously a much bigger sport than supercross.

1/23/2012 7:36am 5-10 years? MotoGP does it with every rider, but they are not GoPro's.
They have them on the front also, this is just a quick example of the camera they use....which is shown live during the race.

1/22/2012 3:29pm Well I have done some research and am really debating getting a 250 2 stroke. Seems like I can rebuild it in my kitchen without my GF throwing a shit fit.

1/21/2012 5:35am Why is a 450f more reliable than a 250f?

1/20/2012 7:41pm Buy a used leftover cheap what? 250t?

1/20/2012 7:20pm Another question.....with street bikes for track use we switch to GP shift (reverse shift pattern making it 1 up 5 down). Do you do this with MX?
Tech420 Added a reply to Go to 4 stroke 250
1/20/2012 6:10pm I can afford a fairly new (possibly year old new leftover) bike. Why do you say go 450 only when buying a slightly used bike?

1/20/2012 5:54pm Why 250t and not a 450f? Don't they race in the same class?

1/20/2012 4:42pm I wish I did, but am new to New England.....hence why I am making the switch over to dirt. Always wanted to ride dirt, but there was nothing going on where I used to live. I think I have ruled out the 450 as of right now. I am not a very big person and would rather be able to...

1/20/2012 4:24pm Besides the obvious, what are the differences between a 4 and 2 stroke. I know how the power is different, but is a 2 stroke competitive nowadays? There obviously is different riding techniques due to the higher power band. Is there any difference in weight? 2 stroke 250's race 4 stroke 450's and 2 stroke 125's race 4 stroke 250's...

1/20/2012 4:20pm How much of a learning curve is there? What major differences besides power is there? I feel confident enough with my ability on 2 wheels to be able to control the bigger bike if I went that route. Throttle control won't be an issue.
