Re: Stewart, Reed, now Canard crashes

That was a hardcore wreck! same track he crashed out last year too! I really hope Trey finds his stride though.. he is a phenominal rider! Watch Moto 2, looks like him and Villopoto have similar riding styles... likes to sweep the outside ruts at lighting speeds. Reed's ejecto seat malfuntion was pr...

Re: Christini AWD 530 EXC build

Bars, I've had the KLX literally wedged between 2 trees, the sudden stop nutted me blind then I could not figure out why I wasn't on my side with the bike on top of me, well it was wedged solid. I had to kick the bark busters to get it out, once I stopped dry heaving. I'm not a single track fan, bu...

Re: Recent Moab Trip

Dang! you just had to find an excuse to use that OGIO bag you won didnt yah! :) I'm glad to hear you had a good time... since you threw a dollar amount out there, you really got me thinking now. I like the febuary idea, mostly cause it would loosen up the winter rust so im not kart-wheeling off my b...

WR450 Valve Adjustment

so I'm 500km over due to check my valves and just got around to it! my exhaust valves were within spec. my intake is a little tight though.. the book says between .10mm and .25mm for the intake. the closest gauge I could get in there was a .08mm. My question, is it worth it to do the pads for .02mm?...
