Each speed hole adds 1mph on the top end. Might need more.

Penny Tech (TM) Acerbis X seat Gen 1 brace plate weight loss
Acquired an Acerbis X seat with my 15 XC250. It is the original version, these things will grip your bum like a lowland gorilla in mating season, and depending on your man-scaping habits, post-ride will make your under layers look like a squirrel died in 'em. However, they are not any lighter than a...

Re: Midwest Clutch
I tried it and didn't like the engagement of it. My 7yr old daughter(at the time) could pull the clutch in, but it never felt right. You have to be careful on adjustment with them. They run on the edge of slipping and if you get the clutch hot on a hill climb it just gets worse until you stop and b...

Re: Midwest Clutch
I had on on my 14 TE250, worked ok but if I really abused the clutch the engagement point moved and it slipped - not sure if related to the Midwest lever or just a general clutch issue. So far not required on my 15XC. Ride a jap cable clutch for a bit and you wont complain about the KTM hydraulic at...

Re: KTM xc/xcw starter issue
Most 4 stroke stators circulate oil wet iirc, as long as you don't fill it too much an create windage, should be OK. Given the inspection frequency mandated by the bushing wear rate, I'd be inclined to keep it dry and greased to facilitate that. Maybe the freeride has different guts? Still got the e...

Re: GoPro evaluations
I have a "joe-pro" Cyclops GoPro knock off, a gift from my riding buddies who wanted better documentation of the thrills and spills and resultant tourette's outbreaks. Works alright, uses GoPro parts, but the batteries die quickly in the cold. I wish it was smaller, to mount under the helmet visor, ...

Re: KTM xc/xcw starter issue
2 more rides. Still have not kicked it once.
Edit: let me clarify, have not had to kickstart it. Kicking, well, it was a lazy bike and wouldn’t stay upright

Re: Penny Tech Gear repair
I use the iron on steam with an ironing board, and so far, I don't really sit the iron in one spot, have not melted or burnt any gear.

Re: Penny Tech composite boot repair
Any auto parts store, you are looking for a polyurethane seam sealer/adhesive.
Not sure its suitable for an high abrasion area repair tho.

Penny Tech shroud/panel repair
Less than a km into weekend priors ride, (well "ride" is likely being a bit generous as a description) my bike decided to take a quick nap, coming to rest very abruptly on a rock jutting out of the sidehill. Given the temperatures, the rad shroud shattered. While I have a new set of plastics on-hand...

Re: Winter riding, radiator cover
Worked well again yesterday, bike much happier.
As ambient temperatures rose later in the ride it started to creep up to yellow on climbs, folded the cover in half, jammed it back in, back to the top of green the whole way out.
Bit more adjustable than duct tape but that works too.
