  1. Most front wheel balancing is done with the forks partially compressed into something.
  2. And it`s an ugly color scheme.
  3. Mag. 500mg tablets, I take two plus a day. I wish I could get arm pump, there was a time I would about bleed to death from my grip. After a 100 mile desert race my pants would be covered in blood from my hands. I have not had arm pump in over 5 years, which is good. Having not enough grip can be scary too.
  4. If you get tired, you should ride more often.
  5. This video and lots of magnesium helped more than months of therapy. It takes almost a month, but my pain is 10% of what it was.Good luck.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d85QKyWvrbI
  6. Somebody`s cut it short. Just get a new spring. It feels great being so light, but when you hit things hard it makes it very hard to keep control. You tend to hit and then over shoot an obstacle.
  7. Every manufacturer has issues like this. Bikes that don`t shift, no gaskets, etc. When I worked at the local Yamaha shop I had a YZ80 transmission bearing lock up in sixth gear on the pavement. What a stop that was!
  8. They were probably out of bolts that day and the assembler had not been paid. Not much quality control when a co. is going under. At least the stator was ok!
  9. Great to hear it from the horses mouth what has happened and what the future will be. Thanks for all your hard work, Especially the video`s. Good luck on your new venture with TRS!
  10. You turn the hips to where you want to go. I got home early tonight and my son had started to work on a hard floater from one log to another. As soon as I got him to rotate his hips, they became tighter and tighter. Of course you still have the shoulders, elbows and peg weight, but hips MATTER!
  11. Well Tom he had done zokes for several models over 30 years.
  12. I would love a new Yamaha TWO Stroke. Not this overweight anchor with the usual crap brakes found on the other bikes. A NEW Yamaha, yes!!!!!!
  13. It is a BP5es. NGK not denso. Float level and the needle and seat would be cause for the flooding issues.
  14. Also the blanked out vent by the petcock can be drilled out. Makes a big difference on stalling while riding steps. One vent is not enough, the PWK for mx has six vents.
  15. Crossing your tracks has always been a rule. Though nowadays it`s generally stretched to one wheel. New riders have always wanted to do loops. Doing loops is generally going backwards in a section to gain advantage. I am so sick of rule changes. The original rules were the easiest. And the FIM almost got it right with the new rules, except they called it no stop. So everyone is confused by a hesitation. I say go for a free for all in the sections. 60 seconds and count every single point. Anyone could then score a section.
  16. First time I saw the water trick was when a former (Tommi)World Champion took a brand new bike out of the box. First thing he did after starting was the water trick. I have been using it ever since.
  17. Would not hurt to try the 48 with the 3.5 slide. Our fuel is much different than the UK.
  18. I would send you to Snell`s website, but seems to be some form of conflict. Too bad Gas Gas never published any good info on there own bikes. Come to think about it, Gas Gas would have failed much sooner if it weren`t for the internet and great sites such as this!
  19. Do you actually ride in a club? Third is very wrong in most sections. Beta`s always had a low first, I always used a 10t counter shaft sprocket. Usually rode most sections in second, gave it a good low gear for tight, tight sections with a useable third for climbs and large splatters.
  20. Biggest thing is a clean carb. Second thing would be a 9 tooth counter shaft sprocket to make it easy as possible!
  21. Spherical bearings in the shock.
  22. Save yourself. Just go to sleep holding her hand. The hospital wants to wait till the first shift in the morning. Usually 8-10!
