Great event Sam! Perfect weather and the best turn out we have seen at a MOTA event in 25 years! Thanks for all of the hard work you put into it.
Sections were tough on Sat but everything was safe. For myself I just wasn't in good enough shape to be able to work my controls for 4 loops. I think others had the same problem.
It was fun to have to ride the bigger stuff. Now that down hill on section 6 (Sun) well that's another story..Thank's for leaving the EXP line open on that one!
I was reading the link and do find it hard to believe that a spectator at an AMA event must have a letter from both parents.
Just think of the indoor supercross's that have 60,000 spectators with 50-60% of those being minors. Maybe arena events will be exempt.
Still outdoor motorcross has a huge spectator base and so does flat track and not to mention the slowely growing sport of trials.
Thanks for putting the word out. I think untill we understand this we should all pass the form onto friends that may want to come spectate in the future.
Looks like the AMA has had enough lawsuits to warrent this extreme measure. The only good I can see is it may give the private land owner more safety.
It will be hard to turn people away that took the time to come watch the event.
Each club should make sure they have plenty of copies at sign up however most of the time both parents do not show up at events.
Any 1 1/8" fat bar will fit. Finding the dimensions you want will be the tough part. The factory Beta bars are wider than anything in the aftermarket world
I've found.
Renthal makes the Lampkin bend in a fat bar that is always a good choice. Width = 820mm Height = 100mm sweep = 50 degrees
Like Tony stated use a good air cleaner oil designed for foam filters. Some oils are designed for paper,cotton elements.
Some other tips are to spray the oil into the inside of the filter and to work it in. Inside meaning the side that is open to outside air.
I also run a very light coat of grease around the edge of my filters to help the filter stay in place better during assembly and to create a better seal to keep dust out.
As mentioned in my first post (step #2) the clutch clean up was performed. He has over 6 hours in fileing,sanding and polishing of the clutch assembly.
I believe he is working on "doing it right" Thats why he is looking at reducing efforts by keeping all 6 springs!
I think some are getting a little side tracked from the topic.
Neil, your reply is what I was looking for. Thank You.
There is not a problem with the factory clutch efforts he is just trying to reduce the effort as much as possiable.
All should expect to see gains after file work, sanding and polishing has been done, he is just curious if he can shim without clutch slipping.
Since it is difficult to test at this time in our state I was looking for others that have tried this. We understand shims
will eventually cause the clutch to slip but like Neil King said it seems to be the better of the 2 options between removing springs and
shimming.
His efforts to ruduce clutch efforts are driven by age and a wrist that gives him trouble on that last loop at every event. Every little bit may help
Last year 100% of the 5 new 2007 Beta's sold in Michigan all had the kill switches fail. Not a matter of if but when. We normally switch to the Yamaha style switch.
I will have to assume that the kill switch problem has not been fixed and I will replace the one on my new 08 Rev as well..
To bad Beta took the time to have the trickest looking kill switch on the market that is useless.

Job well done Biff...
When we saw you in the parking lot and you informed us of your plan we all agreed you were the right guy for the job.
Looks like you had room for a Oset bike as well.
I am sure thats what everyone puts in the trunk of a Lincoln MKZ.
