Unfinished_Projects Started a new thread Scissor Lift
5/19/2014 7:37am Just saw the awesome bike of the day and really liked the scissor lift. Is anyone using a scissor lift who can provide some feedback? Brand, price, durability, etc? I see pit posse has one for sale here: http://pitposse.com/poscli.html

Unfinished_Projects Started a new thread 2011 CRF 450R Fork Springs and Oil Volume
5/18/2014 6:40pm Ok guys, my dad just picked up a 2011 CRF 450 R and it came with the stock 0.46 and 0.48 fork springs and has been revalved by Factory Connection. He's 240lbs and I knew he would need some stiffer front springs so I called up FC to see what they recommend. FC said that the 0.48's are good for...

5/18/2014 6:40pm Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I've been fooling around with the Race Tech Calculator to dial in the right rates front and rear.
Unfinished_Projects Started a new thread 2013 KTM 250 SX Brake Issues
5/15/2014 5:45pm So I just took the bike for a quick ride on this little turn track near the house. About five minutes in the rear brake completely went away; no pedal. Didn't see any fluid leaking or anything damaged, but I still wanted to ride so I said I would figure it out when I got home. Couple minutes later the...

5/15/2014 5:08pm Hey, just wanted to give you an update. I definitely think the fluid was a little high, may have been the problem. I was using Motorex 5.1 and stuck with the same stuff, just fresh fluid. Greased up the pin on the caliper and checked the pistons and, from what I can tell, they looked good. One question, as you...
Unfinished_Projects Added a reply to Malcolm Stewart Looking Fast
5/14/2014 9:29pm Notice how much he doesn't use the clutch? Hardly ever he has his finger on it. I know its up for debate, as many fast riders are similar to how Malcolm is riding (his brother James for one) but then guys like Villopoto always have their finger on the clutch and look to be using it quite often. Any thoughts?

5/5/2014 7:38pm Danman, congrats on your son wanting to serve, I bet you're pretty proud. I have a mechanical engineering degree as well and feel it's pretty useful in and out of the service. I wish your son well in the future. -Kevin

5/5/2014 9:52am I really appreciate it guys so thank you as well. It's definitely a tough gig, especially on the family, but I think it will be worth it in the end. It's been about 12 or 13 years since I rode last, so I have a long way to go, but already been having a blast getting back out on the...

Unfinished_Projects Added a reply to MxKing's KTM Build FINISHED
4/7/2014 6:11pm Digger, So you are running a 14/50 on your 300 and you ran a 14/48 on it when it was still a 250. Did you ever try any other 14T combos when your bike was still a 250? I have a 14/51 combo right now, but don't really like it. Thinking a 14/50 is a step in the right direction...

Unfinished_Projects Started a new thread Brake Cleaner near Anodized Parts
1/6/2014 2:14pm Anyone know if brake cleaner will fade or eat away at anodizing or powder coated parts? Just thinking about my hubs and rims when I clean my rotors.

1/5/2014 11:38pm Shane, awesome build, very clean looking. Digger, when you went to a 14 tooth front sprocket, did you have any clearance issues? I know sometimes things can get tight around the case when using bigger front sprockets.

Unfinished_Projects Started a new thread 2013 KTM 250 SX Clutch Friction Disc Thickness
1/3/2014 4:24am Anyone know the minimum thickness of the clutch friction discs on a 2013 KTM 250 SX? My owner's manual doesn't have the spec and I can't get my hands on a service manual. Thanks.

Unfinished_Projects Added a reply to 2013 KTM 250 SX Clutch Friction Disc Thickness
1/2/2014 10:07pm Looked at the parts fiche on Rocky Mountain and it lists 1.95mm. Most discs are above 2.00mm but there are some areas on some discs that are 1.94mm. If any area of the disc is less than 1.95mm, I'm guessing they should be replaced?
