Looking for someone with a stock wheelset for a ktm 990 trying to solve a mystery if you have one please pm me I have a rear wheel that ended up chewing the swing arm on the drive side but for the life of us we can not seem to figure our why, nothing seems to be missing from the wheel. hoping someone with a 990 will be willing to let us compare our rear wheel to theirs, I can either bring it down to them or they can ride up to me, either one work.

Best spot - son to learn to ride dirt bike (San Diego County)
padu replied to E-motoDad's topic in Open Discussion
In addition to what has been said, Pala (Fox Raceway) has a large flat area and some trails for when he's ready. Also, if you need any help training him (enduro or motocross), we can help SoCal Off-Road School -
Oh I know but that is not nearly as much fun as busting pauly's chops about it.

Foot brackets were welded on by a very cool dude who tells terrible jokes. -

The kids track at Pala off weekend might work. https://raceway.palatribe.com/track-info -
are the foot brackets welded on or just bolted, good to know. also see if you can lose the black highlighted text, kind of hard to read (at least for me).

if he is really new and old enough might be worth it to have him spend a day taking classes at Motoventures. They provide everything and lunch. that's one option. -

This is a 2004 first gen KLR with all the mods and farkles needed for a reliable and affordable long distance, BDR, commuter, and/or trail bike. 17,500 miles and located in San Diego. I bought this bike pretty close to stock 2 years ago and prepped it for the SoCal back country discovery route and dual sporting in Death Valley. After the trip I fixed and improved anything I broke. All the dumb stuff that one breaks on a KLR has been taken care of like the weak foot peg bolts, the rear brake bracket, headlight fuse, carb vent etc.I did mods to address the limitations like the weak brakes and suspension. I added steel brake lines and the large front rotor. It stops well now. The suspension has been improved and does not dive when braking. The tires are very fancy for a KLR. It has heated grips, auxiliary lights and additional brake lights. It is hard to make a KLR less ugly but I gave her a plastidip paint job that is removable if you want to go back to the OG red plastic. The bike has served me well from Baja to the Sierras. I have a larger and a smaller bike in the quiver now and this middle child is not getting the love it deserves. If you think this KLR is too well sorted for a KLR it has one authentically patched up turn signal stalk appropriately held together with zip ties and duct tape. Overall, this bike is ready for a long ride. $3,250 oboModsEagle Mike Doohickey and Torsion SpringMagnetic oil drain plugsafety switches fixed T-mod for carb vent line (google it)Horn upgraded7 gallon Clark tank with manual fuel petcockNew fuel line and inline filterLED taillight Auxiliary Flashing LED taillights 320mm front brake rotor replacement upgrade LED Headlight16 tooth front sprocket, 15 tooth stock includedHeated gripsUSB accessory port and voltage gauge 15 Amp headlight fuseMetal aftermarket skid plateEagle Mike rear brake bracketChoke lever relocation included Larger footpegs Stronger Footpeg bolts and brackets welded onSubframe bolt upgradeLED auxiliary lights on JNS bracket Front Fender upgradeCustom paint and pinstripe.

Best spot - son to learn to ride dirt bike (San Diego County)
tntmo replied to E-motoDad's topic in Open Discussion
I always like to take new off road riders out to the desert. Superstition BLM area has a lot of big dry lake beds that are great for this kind of thing, flat and not much besides small bushes occasionally. If you're not familiar with the location you can message me and I will give you directions. It's about two hours from San Diego, but there aren't many other nice big flat places that I can think of. -

Hello, Can someone please recommend a good location/spot to teach my son how to ride? He is new to riding, so something that is flat, easy, minimal obstacles, etc.? Thank you in advance! - Ben -

CA Sticker and Registration Requirements - 2020 Dirt Bike
E-motoDad posted a topic in Open Discussion
Hello, I am looking to buy my son a used dirt bike, a 2020 KX100. Will we be able to register this? Can it get a green sticker? When buying used, from a private seller, what should I require them to provide me with? Title, registration, etc.? I'm new to all of this, but my son really wants this bike, I just don't want to get into something that we cannot use on trails, sand dunes, ocotillo wells, places like that in SD County, Southern CA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben -

Looks like a good choice depending on time of year I would assume, pretty hot out there during the summer I would imagine. What is the name of the campground? - Earlier

Trail Maintenance & Clean Up at Corral Canyon

KTMrad started following Trail Maintenance & Clean Up at Corral Canyon
-
untilSan Diego Adventure Riders adopted 2 motorcycle trails at the Corral Canyon OHV Area many years ago. Please come join us on December 14th to help trim brush from overgrown trails, pick up litter, etc. It would be great if we could get at least 10 people to show up to help. Volunteering really helps out the forest service...the more volunteer hours they have on record, the more funds they are allotted for future upgrades. See more details in the event photo...there will be lunch and raffle included. This event is put on by San Diego Off Road Coalition in conjunction with other groups, and will also benefit Toys for Tots.
