Have you tried Map 4 yet? That, and a 14T front sprocket, and your MX will have a linear power. No more goon throttle twisting.

To me it was one of the least satisfying motor vehicles that I owned. There were too many wrong things with it from its design -- to execution -- to performance. It prompted me to sell it before it would depreciate down to nothing and buy an Alta before there was a dealer in my own or any...

I had to Google this one because I did not understand what the assumptions had to be for this to be true. Does rate of acceleration affect the amount of energy used to accelerate? So, if we have no wheelspin, no rolling resistance, no aero drag, then yes, it would take the same amount of...

I doubt. But they soft of help you keep your leg pressed against the bike in corners, and bruise your knees if you are not wearing knee pads or knee braces.

@magatta likes his bikes naked. Stripped down my EX

I have to admit that I went thought the same vicious cycle, only quicker, because I have less self-control and the drug is very powerful. Bought and sold my 6.2kW Stealth Bomber in 2017, then bought and sold a 30kW Redshift MX, then bought a 40kW Redshift MXR. Now that the increased dose is not...

A smaller front sprocket will feel more like riding in the 1st gear where a second is needed. More wheelspin at low speed, then it will top out and become the same as before. You will still have only 37hp max, you will just waste more energy to wheelspin. There is no free lunch. If you need to...

Red But is usually deeply tilled and heavily watered for the Nationals. There is a lot of sand mixed into the dirt at Red Bud, so it was not unusually muddy for the racers. But the track looked extremely soft and fluffy this time, very deep but slick at the bottom, and the racers were saying...

I have a DNR area in my own backyard. Also an underground petroleum pipeline going through my subdivision, and it is at least 70 miles long. I should try riding them both.

The Rapid charger is $300 more than the Standard charger (or $799) at the time of bike purchase.

I wish I had my cell phone camera running when that fat chick was about to do a belly flop into a long mud puddle. I didn't think she would do it, but she did it! It was a perfect belly flop, and it covered her all with a brown mud head to toes, face, hair and all. And then she wiped her eyes...

Very cool rally report! Thank you. The pictures are not showing for us though. EDIT: Now they are, thank you.

I am wondering whether the Euros were so much faster simply because they ran the Pirelli mud/sand tires, which have about 50% bigger paddles/knobs compared to the Dunlop MX12, which everyone in the US runs? This wouldn't matter much if the track was not all deep sand/mud, but yesterday it was...

In the "gas tank". There is a lot of unused room there.

It does look like a goner.

It was amazing to see racers and fans from all over the world to come to the US to race and cheer. Lots of groups dressed in the same costumes and waving their national flags. We also stopped to buy a US flag, and we used a Rocky Mountain umbrella as a flag pole. I also sported US flag...

Just came back from Red Bud late last night. The two Dutchmen were fast and looked like they were right at home, winning every race they entered. They only didn't win the MXoN because their third guy screwed up badly. The French won it (again) without winning a single race, and even without...

I kept my 1995 CR250. It is feeding my nostalgia very well by just sitting in the garage and letting me look at it.

I did think about this after seeing the intricate factory recommended brake hose routing. But I still prefer my routing. The PTFE coated brake hose does touch a couple of harnesses, but it does so with no pressure. There are no high-frequency vibrations in this bike, so it would probably take...

I kept my old bikes, which are dear to me and won't fetch much money, and sold all the recently bought ones because I only rode them once after I bought the Alta. That one ride was only to compare the bikes back to back on the same day and track. My 2015 Husky 2-stroke felt like riding an...
