Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders

Gearing is personal preference. You could try a 52 on the rear so you can get into 2nd more but there is nothing wrong with riding in first gear, you will use more gears as you progress. I rarely got out of first gear when I started riding single track(still don't some days :smirk:). Thanks boland ...

So I thought its best to do one post for both questons I have the first is on my 2012 KTM XCF 250. Inthe owners manual it says I need to replace the piston and check valves after 50 hours. I'm about that maybe over do I need a new piston now? Do you guys do everything to the manual? Second question ...

This looks like a great movie I liked all the others this one even has johnny walker.

Thanks for the video I was quite gutted I just could not get past it it was getting late to so turned around I will conquer it one day with some help next time lol.

So the second time I've ever rode up there followed the ridge along before we turned off to the left and went back down. But today I followed the ridge all the way along until all I can describe it as a wall of roots and rocks lol. Got up some of the way but man I could not get passed this section. ...

Wow thanks for the Info RJheney yes I was meaning stickeyness. I did my first ride of swaneys at the weekend and seemed not to have good grip on the roots and rock parts. I'm still running the original tire my ktm came with I got last year.

So when you say golden tires don't last long how long do you mean? Would you get a summer out of the rear if you ride evey weekend? Or less than that I'm looking for more grip.

So I went to cycleworks after work and those sumoy helmets are like half the weight of mine. So I'm going to start there with a lighter helmet. Would suspension setting cause this could mine be to hard is another question?

Thank you for some info guys no I don't wear a neck brace. The pain as I call it is actually worse than soreness so I called it pain It feels like whiplash again. I could hardly move my head up and down maybe I should look into get a carbon helmet my car accident was about 2006 got T boned whiplash ...

Lately every time I come back from a ride I'm getting neck pain the next day. I don't really know wy any ideas I've had whiplash before could doing longer rides reagavate whiplash?

Only been really riding this year got my bike last year. Did this ride today what an insane ride I'm hurting now loved it up there.

Did you find the plate separately to the backpack? Because I lost my licence plate there last weekend.

Thank you for your reply well I would say I'm a novice rider only got my bike last year. I don't care if it a hard ride I would prefer just to throw myself in and learn than hold back and say I can't do it. Is it ok to do by yourself I don't have any riding friends normally just go out for a few hou...

Sorry to bring back my first post but what kind of difficulty level is it to get there. I picked up my RMDRA map today (thanks timbruce) anyway was thinking of going out riding this weekend and tackling it.
