    2014 KTM 500 exc covers

    If the back side of the shifter has a pointed knife type edge, you should get out the grinder and grind it flat with rounded edges. Those big bore bikes don't have good clearance there and it does happen.

    Nihalo concepts. Something like that. Hawaiian

    Oh my bad, was thinking clutch cover. Mahalo concepts or ktm hard parts for the ignition covers.
  5. I'm meeting McTrails out at bobcat camp at 10am on Sunday. Intermediate to difficult trails. Been a long time since I got out there for a ride. Looking forward to getting back on the trails. All are welcome to join us.
  6. Got all my junk loaded up, see you tomorrow.

    basic electrical help?

    Why not just get the thermo switch working. Then the fan only runs when needed and you can focus on riding. They sell different temperature switches at the auto store. You want a 190F switch.

    Nitrous oxide, turbo, slicks, life insurance...

    Squeeky brakes

    Mine get hot and make a nasty nail on chalk board sound but only if I am really dragging brake. And I am running the ebc carbon red pads! Had my rear brake seize up on a ride a few weeks ago. The fluid was shot. It came out like sludge. All is well now. You may just need to get some fresh fluid in case your brakes are getting g stuck on like mine were.

    You probably won't be riding much once Jr. comes along. Just my 2c, I am sure that wasn't what you wanted to hear though.
  12. Beezzzz check your email. I know you asked me about this a long time ago. I have so much going on and totally forgot about it. You are best to take the YZ to the guru but if you really want me to do it I can. Been doing lots of engine and suspension work for sdar people lately. Stop by sometime. Brad

    Need KYB or Showa shock

    I need a Japanese shock for a how to video. Free oil change and nitrogen service for someone if they want to bring it over. I can do the work/video while you wait in about 30 minutes.

    Need KYB or Showa shock

    I would like to do it as soon as someone is ready. Been putting it off a while. Mike, if the first guy comes, you are always welcome to come and we can work on your suspension. I need the shock off the bike and spring removed. Or at least the shock should have a preload adjuster so I can get the spring off.
  15. They may live out west but they are still federal employees that have their own agendas. How about the states manage their own land? I don't know what would be worse. CA or the feds in charge. Not that it matters anyway. Bush 3.0 has zero chance of becoming the next president.

    Where to teach my 8yr old to ride

    Take him out to the dry lake bed at superstition once it cools down a bit. A track is not a great place to learn to stay upright imo.

    Legal question.

    I got pulled over once for standing. The cop screwed around for about an hour trying to figure out something to ticket me for but ended up letting me go with no citation? That was a strange experience. He even had a 2nd car come and they screwed around for literally an hour and ended up doing nothing with me sitting on the side of the road.
  18. You should find out if the estart stators can be modified like the older ones. I believe they can and that is the free solutuon. You just need their 100W regulator. I have the magnetic wire and know how to mod the stators. Have done a half dozen or so of them now.
  19. You can run something like the 70/65w osram rally light if you do the trail tech dc conversion. 20$ for a really nice light. Thats what I have on my 200. http://store.candlepower.com/h4hb29003bulbs.html You need a 50$ 100w rectifier/regulator from trail tech and do the conversion on your stator yourself. If you want help converting your stator and doing DC 100W setup for cheaper than buying their full kit let me know.
  20. Went and looked at this stuf and they have a plot vs glycol products. Looks like a great product.
  21. I know a guy that uses 100% dihydrogenoxide
  22. You can run straight peak and get the same effect for less money. Read the bottle and look at the boiling point of Evans vs any other non diluted anti freeze. It's the same boiling point. I just mix my antifreeze with less water if I want to raise the boiling point for instance I would run 70% coolant in a 4T and 50% in my 2T. Does not have to be mixed 50/50 for any reason. You can custom tune your mix for your needs. 12$ a gallon. It's glycol. So is evans. So is engine ice. It's not some magic fluids. All of the coolants have the same basic boiling point and ingredients. You can look at material safety data sheets for all these products online and see exactly what you are buying if you care to. They are very easy to find with google.
