Re: Porcupine hills

I believe this is the most recent map of what's open for riding.
I use Avenza Maps while I'm riding to help make sure I'm on a open trail, they're not marked very well yet.
Beaver Creek Staging area is at the south end of the map.
Hope my attachment works

Re: 2018 ktm 500 exc-f check engine light

I have the same bike with the same mods, plus the Vortex. I haven't had any issues. I'm just wondering if you are running too lean? My understanding (mostly from what I've read in the de-smog thread over at the ThumperTalk forum) is that the bikes run lean from the dealer to help them pass emissions...

You haven't done anything to change the fuel mapping, like a Vortex?

Re: Best Fuel

SX 65 fouls plugs with anything but Co-op. Co-op has no ethanol in all grades of their fuel in Calgary. My F350 V10 gets about 10 % better fuel mileage using non ethanol regular. Thanks for the recommendations guys. The consensus definitely seems to lean towards CO-OP. I'll give them a try next fil...

Re: Best Fuel

This is a good resource, but haven't looked at it a while, so hopefully it is still being updated/maintained. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=AB Thanks Dakota, I have seen that list before too, but I also wasn't sure how accurate it was, or if it's kept up to date. I guess with someone...

Best Fuel

Where does everyone like to go to get gas for their bikes? In my manual it recommends 91 octane, but also says not to use fuel with more than 10% ethanol. Up until now I've been running PetroCan 91, but am really unsure of its ethanol level. Which gas stations sell fuels with the lowest amounts of e...

Re: 4.6 NM Closed Chamber Springs

My bad, I just realized, I believe my forks: the WP XPLOR 48's are open chamber? So these really wouldn't work for you anyway.

Re: 4.6 NM Closed Chamber Springs

Probably won't help you, but I've got the next size up, 4.8 N/mm that I installed last fall on my '18 500 EXC-F (209-231 lb.). I've shed 20 lbs over the winter, and am hoping to shed another 10 before riding season :hyper: so my hope is to go back to the stock springs. Picked mine up from Slaven's R...
