I like the stock skid plate. But the AXP has some extra good protections. I switched to it after I broke some cooling fins off the battery on right side in a rock garden crash with the stock version. The AXP plate allows for more air flow/venting to the battery, shielding higher up the battery...

As others have suggested tire pressure and type of tire would be first on my list. I would swap out the front tire before I did anything to settings and work my way from the wheel up. Next spokes and balance. Hacking at steering bolts, torques, and suspension before you eliminate the contact...

The Stark guys need to break out the 3D printer and use the dimensions to make a properly formed rubber boot with fasteners on the bottom with fasteners like the rubberized cable ties they have. Probably could charge 50.00 USD at Slavens for it. BTW I bought my new AXP skid plate (the first...

I am going with these for the kind of hard enduro I do:

Yes. Or the ones you got are available from Walmart online as well.

I wouldn't recommend the brand in the Amazon link. If you read the description it mentions moisturizes but is not really clear. However, they are infused with aloe vera it smells and I don't think the switch needs to be moisturized... :muutt:

That is a good point. On my Yamaha the rubber boot that protects the switches is formed to prevent that. Nevertheless, I am going to try the simple fix. As it is I have found the buttons on the MX can be somewhat flakey --especially when transitioning drive modes between crawl, reverse, and drive.

Slimeball snake oil salesman have been with us forever it is not just a modern phenomena. If is sounds too good to be true it probably is --still holds like it has for centuries.

Ya maybe I should have done that before ordering the large.

It was not just hot starting with the earlier generations. Until 2006 they couldn't even get compression release right. And they were bears to start both hot & cold. And the carbs were total hunks of shit for years and years and years and years. My 2015 WR450F with electric start and FI is not...

Well the Alta was great I was ready to buy one when I got my 300tpi. But Stark went further than Alta in range and power. And put themselves in a different class than Alta. I know you and others have had some problems I am not discounting that. But just look at TPI and TBI bikes and the Stark is...

Haha you learn something new everyday. I never knew such things even existed. Will try it thanks!! :cool:

I have replaced many button units on the MX. I use my bike for enduro and have dropped the bars into deep mud and dirt and it has caused problems. Sometimes you can use a thin piece of wire to clean around the edges and free a stuck button other times I have been forced to push because a stuck...

While the yz450f is now a proven bike. The current core tech wasn't and that ran from 2010-2017 as not being a good bike. And until 2021 when Ferrandis won 2021 AMA outdoors many were still skeptical that it was any good in the US. Go over to TT if you don't believe me, it used to have its own...

Same with me.

With all the new features nobody noted that the tube "choice" is either mousse or changing out the plastic inserts for real tubes upon arrival. 1000.00 sales tax haha what does that protect Harley's closing of Alta... 🤔

Haha. I never saw that before but my comments about power modulation are also validated :ROFLMAO:

Chinese stuff is as good or better than any other place. But better will always cost more no matter where it is made. The Chinese have bought or built some of the best machine tools in the world and have top talent to produce top quality. That will cost more no matter what the geography though...

Wow that is nice no pun intended. :)

Yes this is shown in the vid to remove the rear tire as well, where moving the wheel forward enough allows for chain removing the chain from the sprocket. Unfortunately I didn't have any tools when I had my "pushing events"...😢
