Enduro

It's crazy I tell you, I mean , they give you all the other tools you might need , but not a plug spanner ? Then they have the cheek to give you a bl***y bottle opener, WHAT! So then gents, why is this ? Are KTM trying to promote alcohol or what ? And to top it off, a normal plug socket won't even fit in the hole ! How daft are the people that design these bikes! They can't even make the bash plates on time. (2008 EXC250F)

How do you ride enduros with the restart format? Is time keeping/roll chart equipment needed? curioussam

See the organisers have cancelled at the last minute. Paris - Dakar

Does anybody know nay good shops that might have a 2004 WR450 voltage regulator / rectifier IN STOCK, I would like to get my hands on one before christmas. Any ideas, in in hertfordshire but if you know a shop who is reliable with postage then feel free to post the details. Cheers Lennie.

Can anyone tell me if there are any enduro clubs that do enduros for youth riders as my son is 13 years old and would like to have a go .He rides trials and also has a 85 motocross bike

Well done lad !! He beat Knight for the win, even though Knight was not trying as hard as he could, so he would win the championship, a win is a win, and robbed knight of the $50 000 extra for completing the hat trick.. A bit p*ssed off I think, but then again he has won the championship and well done to him too for that !!

Fancy going a bit faster? I know we've got quite a few people around the southeast, so I thought this might be of interest to one or two . . . I was talking to Ady Smith of Ady Smith KTM off-road schools fame today, about the possibility of organising a two day enduro school at their Eastbourne site in January or February next year. This would be a step up from the more common "try out" or "experience" days, with the emphasis on improving skills rather than just "having a go". Previous off road experience isn't esential, but you'll need generally confident bike skills. The enduro schools are normally held in Rugeley, Staffs but Ady is happy to run one dahn saaf if the…

Hi all I have been riding my 2006 Yamaha YZF250 for around 6 months now. I am getting used to riding a four stroke motocross bike. However in recent very wet events, I have come across the wobblers (or slow b******* as some people call them) being very slow and struggling. To keep the bike running I am having to keep applying and slipping the clutch while waiting for a chance to get by. But this quickly causes the clutch to over heat and become virtually ineffective so I keep stalling the bike. It cools down when I stop for 10minutes or after I

Anyone going to weston beach race ???

The Stratford-Upon-Avon Club are holding a round of the National Trail Bike Championship on 23rd Sept. The OK Supreme LDT. Starting at Blackwell Village Hall, the trial will follow a 75mile route around the Cotswold hills. Taking in many minor back roads, tracks, trails and a lot of private land around the course, riders will be faced with 26 sections set out suitable for trail and enduro bikes. As the OK Supreme traditionally has very easy, wide sections; the organisers will be putting in six 'championship route' sections with an additional hard route to test the regular front runners in the series. The remainder of the sections will be one route and NO INSPECTION al…

I also have an 02 250 pro. i bought that having ridden a 125. love it. Now the EC is superb. ive ridden a lot of bikes xr, cr, drz, ccm and ktm. i gotta say this bike has really put a smile on my face. it looks great. and the engine is so smooth, you wanna tootle about, it'll do it, you wanna open it up and it just motors along.( tails off earlier than true mx bike but bottom to mid makes up for it) suspension is first class too. Im entered in the cotswold enduro club selattyn H an H this weekend. will let you know how i…

After some 10 years doing trials only I somewhat lost contact to the enduro world.. I still think that a xr250 is a good bike but must be the only one... now: What bike do you use nowadays doing the following: goes on the back of a campervan , thus less tha 120 kg has two seats ( the missus wants to come along as well) and is road legal has a bit of grunt to take me through the backcountry... maybe without the missus on the back.., though the DR350 stopped in'99 the DRZ has no 2nd seat... what to do? Still fancy a KLX, but no..it's not legal ( must be getting old caring about this ..) And please, do not recommend a 200 cc chinese bike.. I can still recall riding…

Just on the off chance that anyone has any experience with EC200 (2005) suspension set up. A friend of mine is having trouble with his 200, he is being thrown out of the seat on double (or more) bumps as the suspenson isn't reacting fast enough, he is only 10 stone and despite having the suspension set soft, he feel s that it is still too hard however the front forks now bottom out. As he races in Enduro's, there are some jumps but not big ones as in MX, but jumps aren't really the problem, its mulitple bumps where the bike should be staying near the ground with the power on, he is being bounced all over the place. If anyone has a good base setting suitable for a 10 st…

After many other ideas about cures for my mid life crisis including a Nissan skyline, Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru Imprezza, Hayabusa, TVR Tuscan and a whole host of other stoooopid ideas, I'm looking at a much cheaper option tomorrow in Bristol - a KTM 640 Supermoto. This has sprung from a long line of standstill roadworks on my way to work and the fact that if I don't get there before 7.30 it takes me half an hour longer, plus the fact that I'd like another road bike, especially if it's one i can dabble off road with. It should have been a KTM 525 EXC, but I deliberated for one night too long and it got swiped from under my nose. Now for that I was going to buy supermoto w…

During the spring and summer months here in sunny South West France, I need to commute around fifteen miles on a regular daily basis. Now have been looking adding another Majesty to the stable, the scooter not the trials iron or perhaps to wake the neighbours up in the morning, a Classic Enduro ie. PE or IT . Having trawled the internet, it would seem they are not too readily avaliable. So my question... do they ever come up for sale ( In the uk ) if so what you d you expect to pay for one, I would prefer a 250 or above, in ready to ride condition. Classic enduros seem to be heading the same way as twinshock trials here in France so might even have a pop at one or…

Anyone doing it? Sent off for a form but my PE175 needs complete top end! poss whole engine (noisey as hell) plus some decent rear shocks plus fork seals so proberly looking at around
