Alreay done; here is the post, #7: Stark - dual rear brake set up

Actually, from that paragraph in red font, it seems like they should have had only one rear brake caliper and multiple master cylinders, whereas what I have seen, at least, were two brake calipers. One thing that I've noticed just now is that there were both a foot operated master cylinder and a...

The triple clamp is advertised by them to have a 16 mm offset: whereas in my MX 1.0 I've measured a 22 mm offset. Besides, from a side view it looks like the SM axle lug has a smaller offset. I don't know about the distance between the two outer tubes. I suggest that you check the part numbers...

I wonder how much engine noise those riders can hear anyways when the crowd is cheering hard. Remember James Stewart in Toronto in 2014? Dozens of thousands of spectators screaming vs 20 motorcycles.

What do you mean by the "sliders"? Do you mean that you make the calipers float? Have you checked that the brake fluid levels aren't getting too low because of worn brake pads? Maybe if they get too low the brakes start sucking air into the reservoirs and when the pistons are pushed in the...

Some users have suggested that, if you have the 10 mm allen key to remove the rear wheel, you won't need any tool to open the chain since you can just slide it off the wheel. Wise decision.

I wash the bike at the track when I finish riding; it also air dries on the trailer and when I'm home it's already pretty dry. When they only have pressure washers I keep the nozzle at a big distance and then the bike doesn't get clean well but I prefer it a little dirty than damaged. Most of...

It happened on the Los Ojos del Salado active volcano, located in the Argentina-Chile border. Here is the video: Here is an article in which you can see better that sort of blanket on the battery that reminds me of the ones used on space vehicles: according to an AI, it's called Multi Layer...

Police equipped with 48 Kayaba AOS forks and split triple clamps to clear urban jumps even better!!! @Beagle come on man it's late, you know we should both be in bed. :ROFLMAO:

Cool and I like the detail of the Gorilla tape patches, just inspect it every tyre change: some people have reported that after years the glue of duct tapes and similar stuff applied to rims tends to somehow decay and make a mess and therefore they have to clean it and reapply the tape; they say...

If you magnify these pictures enough, you will notice both Humphrey and Zaragoza using hand operated rear brakes with dual caliper systems: link for Humphrey link for Zaragoza

Thank you for sharing this. So basically you are a high level cyclist who doesn't seem to gain MX skills from cycling. Maybe it's subjective, but @Lost is in a similar situation and he doesn't see mountain biking as a suitable activity either. Wow, I wish I had those cycling skills!

I guess that cornering is pretty similar except for rutted corners since we don't find deep ruts in those trails like we do in MX. The challenge of managing the weight bias and the grip should be similar. Talking about grip, those mountain bike tyres have pretty small knobs compared to MX tyres...

As far as I've seen, overall the best laptime of the whole Swedish event is 47.54 from Stark's Michael Hicks in SX2 in race 1. He finished 4th/3rd/4th. Pretty good! The variation in laptimes makes me thinking that the track conditions were changing. Race Day Live - FIM World Supercross Championship

Ok, I can agree on the fitness part, you can pedal keeping the HR in zone 2 and have the aerobic baseline. I actually prefer doing that on a stationary bike while playing a driving simulator to keep my brain trained to react sharply even under effort. More of this theory of mine here. What I...

I have an MX that I use for motocross only. I am a slow rider and I think that my problem is mostly skills, I don't feel unfit. Surely fitness is something that is never enough but IMO the limiting factor for me is primarily the skills. I hoped to receive different answers since AJ Catanzaro...

My situation and my perspective; I understand you'll skip this if it's too long to read: I firmly believe that the first problem of motorsport is the lack of training due to the time and money involved, hence why I wanted an electric motorcoss bike: less time spent for maintenance (and hopefully...

Maybe they made the frame some months ago, kept it in their warehouse and they installed a battery more recently.

They surely know how to preserve the battery. If the expiry date of the new bike isn't worse than the original one that is going to be replaced, it seems acceptable. If I recall correctly, you've said that you have ridden your bike for something like 160 hours; in that case, it's quite a deal...
