All

I did my 23 at 100 hours. Valves were spot on, and piston skirt was getting shiny. I used all oem parts due to contingency money.

The “incorrectly adjusted shorty lever” you speak of, if its from MME scrap it. I know of countless burnt up clutches from that piece of shit.

I’m of the belief that these companies being successful pushes the Japanese companies out of the MX business, not forces them to be competitive. None of the big 4 sells motorcycles as their main business line.

There was a lot of talk about this at KTMTalk a year or so ago, with James Dean chiming in. I’m certain he stated the gaskets he has are made by Cometic for him, with a metal core and rubberized outer.

Show him the Chinese Quality revisited thread above. That dudes going in for surgery due to an off brand part, and should make anyone rethink using such.

And that peg is not titanium.

It appears to be aluminum, therefore shouldn’t be in use there in my opinion. But you and your stolen picture can do whatever you like.

Aluminum has no business being involved in a foot peg or bracket, I don’t care who/where it’s made.

They are, I just read they’re performing at Sturgis this year.

Took some money I scored from 8th grade graduation, even though mom and dad said no way, and went to a couple older kids house that had an SL70 for sale I knew of. They took me out back to teach me to ride it, and said hold the throttle open all the way and let go of the clutch...

Everytime something goes wrong the AMA gets the blame. What a sweetheart deal for MXSports.

I got on a cruise ship last year with a KTM shirt on, and Lance Smail came over and introduced himself.

My kid has a 25 Beta 450RX, nice bike, but it can’t be taken seriously until there’s an idle adjustment screw.

I have 3 sons and a daughter that race. Everytime they come in I’m reminded of the old saying to be old and wise, you must first be young and dumb.

I ride/race XC and XCFs, after suspension setup the rest is a non factor to me. But the thing that I like more than anything is my kickstand. At 155lbs and 57 years old, I have no interest in lifting the bike onto a stand after coming off the track exhausted, in fact I’m not even sure I could anymore.

I fought this on my kids 26 Honda 450 from new and spun several other Honda front wheels at the races. Some were fine, some not so much. Loosening the caliper bolts made it go away, so I put feeler guages between the caliper and fork lug/mount until I found the right combination to make it go away. I think...

I’ve never heard of this company, but looking through their website, there’s some pure amazing work they’ve done. If this were for a 300, I’d give you $1k for it.

X2. 57 years old, been racing my whole life. Never owned a 450 until I bought a 26 Honda in March. Rode it 6 times, and at 154 lbs it was just too tiring for this old man. Promptly sold it to my kid and went back to my beloved 300 and 350.

Peasants.

A friend was looking for 2 of them a couple weeks ago and couldn’t find any. Ended up buying 2 Huskies new from Munn that wouldn’t charge, at a discount. From there had them shipped to Indy Speed Control for complete new batteries, charger, and speed controller setups. They’re currently there awaiting completion.
