This is what I use for gear oil

Excellent news. Mark is extremely helpful. Helped me half way around the world.

What a member of this forum is writing about this bike is so much more reliable than all the promos and semi reviews we read online. We needed someone to burst the bubble of this chinese mx bike...

Unfortunately A boards are very hard to find. With the help of some great members of this forum, I purchased a new complete A pack from a guy who had a spare one, and had the board taken out and shipped to me (I live in Israel).

I also had to replace the BCU of my EX, but that was due to faulty contactor operation which, for some reason, shut down the entire bike. If I recall, my VIN is 46. What's yours? I suppose my BCU was not fixed/updated prior to the time I purchased the bike.

Anyone downloaded and tried it already?

I do notice that my pegs are lower than my friend's ktm pegs position. I like it, but it does scratch the rocks from time to time. For me, it is the most comfortable bike that way.

I use the Fastway evo (don't recall the version number) in the low boy position (I'm tall). Works well. You'll need the pegs suitable to Yamaha.

A partial solution for the MX/R and EX/R guys is to upload the SM maps to their bikes. I had these maps for some reason on my EX before I updated it - The regen braking on map 4 is extremely hard, and the difference in power delivery between maps is much more noticable than on the off road...

noticed a leak from the left fork. turned out there is a laceration in the tube from a previous fall. destroys the oil seals and such when the outer tube passes over it. managed to fix it with some filling and polishing it. so far it seems to work well, but only time will tell if it needs to be...

Any link for the 4CS fork bleeders (EX 2018)?

This video is a hit in the Israely off road community. Best Alta video I've seen!

Great news!!

Yeah, that is correct

Do you have the knowledge to uninstall the battery pack and open it? Most inportant, do not reset the error via the multitool and try to start the bike. Please read this thread - Error 32 - Service required negative weld. not good...

There are BCU boards (v2) suitable for the MXR through Ebay. I would purchase one ASAP. I had the same problem (assuming it is in fact a BCU failure), and it was quite an ordeal. Luckily, had a lot of help from this forum's experts.

I remember the Fastace shock on my 2014 Zero FX.. Can not be compared to the high end brands.

great action shots!

after 3 months with a dead bike, had the BCU replaced and the bike is back to life. today's ride went great. thanks for all the help with getting my bike back!

My favorites for dual sport are the Pirelli MT43. These are hybrid trial tires DOT approved. Very smooth on the road and capable off road. They also last surprisingly long time.
