  1. When I think about how much time and thinking has to go into staging a lot of those shots....my hats off to them. Geesh, I wouldn't have the patience - I just want to ride!
  2. I might be able to make this.
  3. Amazing what these things can do.....

    Tire/Mousse choice FYI for hard trail ride

    If the required speeds stay below 30mph I don't think you'll notice but you'll for sure notice the additional traction. I've run the plushie with an IRC VE33S Gekotta(semi gummy) for the Tecate enduro andthought it worked great.
  5. Must be a crowd-drawing thing? I mean, it is called FLAT track.

    Big bike capabilities

    I'd like to know how they got that one bike out of the tree down the side of that hill!

    Carburetor vs Fuel Injection - Think Again?

    All I know is that when I take my yearly trip to Colorado to see the kids and I only have one day to ride, it's been great since I got my KTM 300 tpi. Now I don't have to try properly jetting the carb: even using a JD Jetting kit my bike wouldn't run right and I didn't have the time to try and figure it out. With the tpi bike you just GO. And I've been carrying a Micro-start jump starter in my backpack though I haven't had to use it yet in 3 years. I did jump-start a guys car at the campground once with it though.
  8. I've got a '16 KTM 350 EXC-F that I got virtually new less then a year ago. Since then I've put about 600 miles on it. I was draining the coolant to install some radiator guards and the coolant was dark, almost like coffee. Is this from engine oil getting in there? I must confess I only ever check the level by taking off the radiator cap, but I've never noticed any significant drop or weird color just looking in there. I then changed the engine oil and it was very dirty and somewhat low but not milky or anything like that. Are the 2 seals to the waterpump impellor the only way that something foreign could get into the coolant system? Does coolant get "dirty" like engine oil over time?

    Adventure packing - interesting video

    I don't have an adventure bike, but maybe one day...... I like watching all these vids because it gets me fired up about wanting to try it. Maybe I relate more to him becuase my background is all off-road and liking the technical stuff. This was another one of his videos I really enjoyed:

    KTM shop recommendations

    The shop I work at, C&D cycles in San Diego could certainly handle that. As well as NCY, Poway powersports and Motoworld of El Cajon (they're all KTM Dealers,C&D isn't) As mentioned above, there's definitely SDAR members who could do this for sure.
  12. So, I have the Rekluse in my 300, whichis a game-changer for a short-legged guy like me in the technical stuff. I don't have one in the 500 and I tell myself that this helps me keep what little clutch skills I have.
